Our hotel included breakfast and dinner so we got back in time for our 6:30 reservation. On the way to the hotel restaurant, I noticed this poster in the elevator and jumped at the opportunity since it was going to be a clear night. The tour was $130 per person and the guide would take us to 3 different locations starting at 8:30 and dropping us off around midnight. I REALLY needed to catch up on sleep especially after a travel day, but the weather report said tonight was going to be clear. I didn’t want to risk the opportunity of a cloudy night tomorrow and risk missing out on a great photo opportunity.

I had Japanese class this morning so I had to rush down to the hotel restaurant to get an early breakfast before class at 9. We had another sunny and clear day today and I asked if I could sit next to the window to get a direct view of Mt. Fuji. I don’t think I could get sick of this view. It only made my breakfast taste better.

We had another travel day ahead of us today. I think our full day in Kawaguchiko was enough time to do sight seeing, but one additional day to check out the downtown area’s shops and other Fuji views would have been welcome too.
I really don’t think I’ll get sick of this view. I wrote yesterday’s blog sitting here and occasionally turning my head to look at the giant mountain/volcano behind me. Mt. Fuji is a UNESCO heritage site for Japan because of its source of inspiration to Japanese culture and history for over a thousand years. Maybe I’m also feeling the same inspiration with my photography and blog writing?
I don’t watch baseball but this Shohei guy seems to be pretty popular around Japan. He must be really good or something because everyone wants to take a picture of him standing and holding their product. I made it my mission to document every time that I ran into an ad featuring him.

When we checked into the hotel, I asked the front desk if I could have a room facing the bullet train station. There was a mixup and they gave the 2 remaining rooms to Become and Vianna.
