Mt Fuji!
2 Adorations
Got back from Fuji today. Went out to stay at one of the five lakes of Fuji last night. We were brought by my friend's boss' friend. Turns out that there's an agenda behind it.
She brought us to Fo Guang Shan (Ben Xi Branch) to stay. It's a nice view and not a bad place to stay because it used to be a training school so it pretty much had proper accomodations. The bath area even had a soaking pool, not really onsen but it's supposed to be water from the snow on Mt Fuji. So what's the agenda? The people there were really nice, but you can feel the constant propaganda barrage. I guess they just want to share their beliefs but the stay costs 5000 JPY a night though it includes dinner and breakfast (vegetarian by the way). It's not free lol.
The next day, which is this morning, 2 of our group of 5 woke up to watch the sunrise. I watched the sunrise with Zhou Gong. After breakfast, we packed and prepared to move on.
First stop of the day is at a flower and bird park kinda thing. Normally costs 1025 JPY but we got in for 800 JPY. Too expensive imho.
Then it was on to the 5th Station. Along the way, we had a few stops to take photos. Unfortunately, the sun was always shining directly at me, so I can only hope for reasonable results.
It's pretty cold up there so we took photos, visited the temple at 5th station, checked out the souvenir shop and then went on our way down.
Had lunch along the way and then we got back to Asakusa to check back into our hostel. This time our dorm room is an all girl's room. It's actually the same dorm room we stayed in before Hakone sans the guys. Feels so much cleaner now lol.
Tomorrow, SE Store!
