TokyoTrip (Day 3) - Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is the place must go when you are in Japan Tokyo .It located at south-west of Tokyo and it also a highest Mountain in Japan. 

Before we come to Japan, we already do some research. It better take a day tour to Mount Fuji ,rather than we go their by our self. 

We bought a day tour from KKDay website. It cost us RM 288/person. The package was included Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchiko, Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine, and Oshino Hakkai.

All the people at VIP Lounge Shinjuku before 8:30 morning and after we depart nearby that area.

The Whole tour will come with a tour guide which can speak Mandarin . This Tour Guide really kind and the explanation also very clear. 

From the departure area to Mount Fuji, it will take around 2hour to reach the hill. So we can take a nap during the Journey. (If we go by our self, maybe we could not take a nap) .

After an hour plus, you can notice the Mount Fuji slowly appear . It mean that, your destination will arrive soon. In between we also have a stop at rest stop to restroom. 

The Tour Guide also give us a good news that, today we are lucky can go up to Mt. Fuji Subaru 5th Station. 

Last few week due to winter time and the weather , there not allow the tourist go up until there. The tour will half way change to others place like the park near Mount Fuji Area. 

After pass the gate at Fuji Subaru line 5th station toll road entrance , there a lot tree around 2 side of road . ( The tour guide let us know, the toll fees quite expensive, if we follow the company will be much better) 

The above is the The Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station and Komitake Shrine which behind the shops.
Remember when you come to Mount Fuji , please bring along your jacket . when we take off from bus, the weather really cold and we very quickly run into the shop for warming.

After we step in the shop which recommend from tour guide, the shop people will give us a lucky bell and it pray from Komitake Shrine. It good for relationship . The shop people also make us a green tea for taste. (It was good, after you run from the cold weather, after you drink it, your whole body feel warm )

There have another tips from Tour guide, when you use the restroom, please don't put your phone or anythings else which easy to drop at your pant behind. If you unlucky drop into the bowl, it may direct flash out from there.

My best friend husband very fast to get the nice point view to take the whole Mount Fuji image. You can see from the picture, it really beautiful and the snow still on the topping of Mount Fuji.(Just like a Ice cream , hahaha)  

The environment at Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station really nice and i like this kind of weather. We walk thru the whole 5th Station and take a lot of photo.We try to get different view of the Fuji.

At Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station ,it not only can see the Mount Fuji, you also can see The Alps from there. Although is not full clear of the Alps. But you can see the whole shape from there. 

After we get in the bus and continues to the next point - Lake Kawaguchi. We will stop over here for lunch.  

Houto Noodle is must eat meal in during the Mount Fuji trip . Houto Noodle is No.1 local dish at here and Houto is flat udon noodles stewed with vegetables in miso based soup. We like this dish, the noodle very elasticity and chewy. Beside that , it serve with the hot pot , it very suitable like the weather which we go .  

After the meal we also buy a postcard & stamp from the survivor shop and stamp which the Mount Fuji mark. The tour guide said, when we reach the next station, we can post from there.

I can't found the best point the take the lake view. I just walk nearby the lake and took some selfie.
Actual this place quite comfortable and relax. If can stay here a night and relax here, i think can release all the stress.

After the Lake Kawaguchi, we move to Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) .Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) is a touristy set of eight ponds in Oshino, a small village in the Fuji Five Lake region.

The tour guide tell us, we must try fresh spring water straight from its source. You also can bring a drinking bottle to fill up it. 

A little bit lucky, we still can see the Sakura Flower at Oshino Hakkai. We fast grab a photo with it.  

This is the mail box which tour guide tell us can post the postcard from there. So within 2 week , we can received at our country. 

This ice cream also recommended by the tour guide. There have many fruity taste can be choose. The taste so fresh and special. If it can found in Malaysia, sure it will be a sell-able ice cream .

After the Oshino Hakkai we move the our last point - Gotemba Premium Outlet. Before we arrive there, tour guide will asking anybody want to leave the group from there. Because the shopping time which they give is not much time. And this point can easy to get train or bus back to the town.

We consider a lucky trip to Mount Fuji. Every point we go the Mount Fuji also can appear clearly to let us take photo.

After the driver send us back the morning gather place. We take taxi back to our homestay. Actually if we have 3 to 4 person sharing the taxi and the journey is not more than 15 min, it better than take train. ( Actually im lazy to walk ,hahaha).

We also go nearby to grab our late dinner. Come to Japan , of course have to try their Sushi belt .It really have a lot of choice and also many people. Even though already 9 something, still have a lot of people having their dinner also.
