... 2-3 hrs there to use there beautiful ladies only rest area (no additional charge). The restaurant looks nice too, not sure about the taste. The spa area, ladies only, looks very professional, however the price seems to be higher than the Canadians' hotel spa. I do recommend this onzen. BTW, no pictures were taken, except at the entrance of the building.
Had a burger with onion at the Fuji train station while waiting for our train, MOS Burger, it was ...
Mt Fuji Trip Report

Our lady Mt. Fuji
... next to an amusement park with two roller coasters. The view from the lunch room was none other than our lady Mt. Fuji herself… covered in clouds. We were able to deduce it was her because of the gradual slope up. Needless to say we were pretty bummed out and have decided we will have to make it back some other time (and maybe climb her!).
