More on Japan trip •
Day 4:
city tour around tokyo
first off tokyo tower, it is nothing much just a tall tv tower red in colour, we didnt go up cos it wasnt included in the tour package and we didnt know , quite disappointed, I was thinking it was a waste of time to visit it, there was some magic show in front of it and it was quite interesting
after that we went to the temple. I forgot wht its called i think its akihabara or sth like that quite famous, and there is a shopping street nearby
some pics

mom bought one japanese lucky cat, mom said she wanna have one memento from each country she visited, so she bought this one, sista bought a japanese traditional slippers and me...ever the glutton bought mochi and dorayaki and snacks
at nite , we make our ascent to the famous mount fuji and stayed at FUJI hotel, this is the first time we will sleep on the floor with just fuutons but surprisingly they are quite comfortable. the rooms are big and nice with tables inside and there is the hot springs that Jpanese love to go inside the hotel itself
when in the hotsprings, female and male are separated and you should not bring anything except a small towel to scrub your body, sadly I didnt try the hot springs because I was too tired from all the queueing and the bus ride.
dinner was traditional too sitting on the floor and all
and the weather was soooooo cold
here are some pictures
dinner
Day 5;
we make our ascent to mount fuji but fujisan refused to show up well and the weather wasnt so good, it was icing already and we were stopped at the very first entrance.
Lunch at the kawaguchi lake, the lake that 'make' fujisan. its a very big lake, behind it is the kawaguchi forest, very large forest, a place for suicide. well Japan is a stressful country and each year the police combing the forest will find at least 30 bodies, imagine how many more not found considering how dense the forest is.
quite sad, the culture of perfection and hard work is sometimes to hard on some people leading them to suicide. Suicide is top 5 cause of death in japan
anyway the weather didnt get better so
no choice just enjoy the scenery and we went off to the shinkansen station to go to osaka
 sista in front of shinkansen station, behind is the fuji san
shinkansen is really nice and comfortable and freaking fast too, everyone should try it at least once....and they are very punctual so never come late for your train, they are really fascinating when they zoom past you, really sounds like a plane....
in osaka, we only went for dinner and then back to hotellLabels: december trip
