Mt. Fuji
... a map from tourist information, in the mood for walking we walked around one of the bigger lakes at the bottom of Mt Fuji and up towards the mountain itself. We were both surprised that the area was like a little town, we thought we'd be walking on mud tracks but if we weren't on the public footpath we were on the road.

Enoshima
... Again, it's pretty close from our place. I always see it when I drive pass the beach coast and I thought I knew about Enoshima but it wasn't true. Aki showed up at our place with lots of yummy food such as ice cream, mini-pies, boxed small cakes. (* Remember, it's her BD.)
