... wind. Mark was wearing shorts. Will be zero at the Mt? We are now in the bus going there, will see.
Arrived at Mt Fuji, the 5th step (total of 9 steps). very foggy, windy and cold. Sooo foggy that the top of the Mt was fully covered. So we walked around in the shops, the food was good though, corn and Mt Fuji cake (must try).
Taxi heading for onzen now, FujiYama Onzen. About 1000¥ taxi from the train station. The price for this Onzen (1800¥) ...
Trains, Cable Cars and Pirate Ships!

Japan moto trip (Izu Skyline)
... day riding a bike here, and I’d found one of the most wicked routes to ride in my life. It’s a skyline for sure, you get views from the ridgeline across the peninsular east and west and it’s fun just to sit and chill at a look out, watching other motorcyclists cruise by, or ogle the other parked bikes.
