Tokyo Tower
Today we visited Mt Fuji and the Five Lakes district. During our whole 10 days stay, we had to pick the one and only day with bad weather to visit Mt Fuji, which I have wanted to see since forever. So, we actually didn't see Mt Fuji at all due to cloud and fog. Very disappointing !

So this is what we saw of Fuji from the base of the mountain. We were meant to drive up to the 5th station, but the weather was so bad, we only made it to the toilet block.
We visited the Mt Fuji visitor centre, which had some informative displays, and an very nice souvenir shop.
So, that was it for Mt Fuji ! Next, we were taken to a lovely hotel for a traditional lunch. The food was beautifully presented of course.
As we ate our lunch, it beagn to snow, which apparently is quite rare in this area. By the time we had finished lunch, the hotel gardens had tranformed into a winter snowscape. This was very exciting for our kids, as they had never seen snow before. So this was some compensation for not seeing the mountain.

Very pretty indeed
Our tour guide gave us a Mt Fuji chocolate to apologise to the tour group for not seeing Fuji.
Thanks so much for visiting
