On May 20th I went to Yamanashi with some people from work to look at Mt Fuji. It really was my first time to see Fuji up close, cause every other time its been cloudy or just not so, pretty/perfect(?) looking. We were really lucky mind you, the weather was absolutly perfect!
We drove down, and went to a natural spring first, followed by the lookout above, and then on to lunch. Yamanashi udon is really yummy! After lunch we went to Kawaguchi-ko and had cheesecake and looked at fuji some more (how perfect). Then we went to a small boat around the lake, and finally we went and tried some wines at a winery.
All in all, a long day, but it was great fun. Photos can be found here – http://www.flickr.com/photos/michelelisa/sets/72157600236753267/
