DAY TRIP TO MOUNT FUJI 

Standing at the bus stop under a lovely blue sky....we were so happy that it wasn't overcast....

Shibuya Station....crowded trains....we caught one to Shinjuku Station...

Then we caught a very comfortable bus to Kawaguhi-ko where we would see Mt Fugi...

The bus ride was really interesting, travelling through the suburbs of Tokyo. There were so many apartment buildings along the Expressway.

These huge netted areas are all over Japan....we saw them everywhere we went...they are nets for golf driving ranges and for baseball fields.

The journey up in the mountains was wonderful too, seeing all the colours in the forests on the hill sides.

After the two-hour bus ride we arrived in Kawaguchi-ko .....Pete and I headed to Lake Kawaguchi ... the colours of the trees and bushes were stunning, we were so thrilled.

We followed the walking track that wound its way around the lake, surrounded by breathtaking views in every direction.

Stopped for a coffee and a rest...our view...

On our way back to Tokyo...what a fabulous day...

It was dark by the time we reached Tokyo...the sun set at 4.45pm...

What an exciting day...what an exciting city!
