Mt. Fuji
For our last day in Tokyo we splashed out and did a day trip to Mt Fuji. We packed up our backpacks, left our little hotel and made our way across town - during rush hour. Pretty difficult with a giant bag! We stored our bags in a locker at the station and got a bus to Mt fuji. It took around two hours but just after half an hour after leaving Tokyo you are travelling through the hills which are beautiful. When we arrived we ...
