The highlight of the day was the Fuji mountain.
The excursion started at 9am, everybody came on time.
We had an absent-minded guide, he was quite funny.
After a great morning sunshine as we went closer and closer to the mountain the weather became worther and worther.
First we went to Mt Komagatake Ropeway to the summit and enjoy scenic vistas over Hakone National Park. It provided sweeping views of majestic Mt Fuji, the Izu Peninsula and the Izu Islands, among other sights. We had a japanese luch, I thought this is only the apetiser, but it was the whole set menu :).
After lunch we returned to the coach and continue on to the 4st Station of Mount Fuji, located about halfway up the mountain, for more breathtaking views of the surrounding lakes were expected but fog and snow waiting for us.
Last but not least we went to Lake Ashi, a crater lake formed after a powerful volcanic eruption nearly 3,000 years ago in what is now Hakone National Park. It was raining, but marvellous.
Finally we returned to Tokyo by 9pm, after a long day I looked around in some electronic stores at Sinjuku area. It was dissappointing regards prices!
