... 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¥) ...

Hopefully it’s not going to be like this tomorrow as we are going on cable cars up into the mountains and are meant to ...
Japan moto trip (Izu Skyline)
... at the peninsular tip. After the skyline I rode along the coast into Shimoda, which is also really beautiful. I love riding along the coast, you get all the little picturesque seaside fishing villages on one side and some nice mountain views on the other.
