Japan stop over
On our way to America we had an 11 hour stop over in Japan. The boys and I thought we'd get a visa for the day and go for a look around Japan. The speed train took us directly to the city from Narito airport which was roughly an hour away.

Tateyama National Park

We were heading up to Murudo to see Mt Tateyama, but all of a sudden the Sat Nav lost the route. We saw a sign for Shimyo Falls so decided to head up there. It wasn't far and at the Falls we saw a map which showed where Murodo was. We decided to walk up to the Falls which was about half ...
