    While Fuji-san was well and truly hidden while we were on his doorstep in Hakone, on mum and dad’s last morning in Kisarazu he popped up above the clouds and we were able to see his snow covered peak. We were able to see him as we walked to the school bus stop on Tuesday…

    We visited Hakone, to the west of Tokyo from where Mt Fuji can be seen (if you’re lucky enough to visit on a clear, cloudless day). The romance car took us from Shinjuku to Odawara, then we met up with mum and dad who were on the JR line and took the switch-back train to…

    Down to 11 degrees today, so winter is on it’s way. However, that also means that we see Mt Fuji more often through the clear, cold skies. Yay for Fuji-san! I rode my bike to school today and cut my riding time in half. Maybe it’s because the weather is no longer humid that it’s…
