Picks from the Pics - Mt Fuji

Pictures from the Mt Fuji leg of the trip. Definitely my favourite place because I met amazing people, made great friends and bonded over the onsen several times over there. I miss the place already.


Stylish bus driver at Mishima Bus Terminal


Sightseeing boat - For the old, lazy, unadventurous..


Where are we? - 5 girls mountain biking


FOUND IT! Fuji-Yoshida Sengen Shrine - carried bike (underground) across the highway, endless slopes and hills, heavy traffic, and narrow windy road..we made it.


Magnificent cedar trees - a man looking up at the towering trees forming the canopy of the forest. This is the starting point of the oldest route up Mt Fuji, the shrine was built in 1615.


Fuji-Yoshida Sengen Shrine - In the past, most pilgrims approaching the Mt Fuji from the north side, would commence their ascent from this shrine.


Wedding Ceremony - with my super zoom lenses. Photography not permitted within the main hall.


This is where we found a good view of the Mt Fuji. - Note the approaching dark clouds too.


Kawaguchi Sengen Jinja shrine - another shrine, with a trekking path within the woods behind the temple. Not as popular as the Fuji-Yoshida one.


Tall trees again - You can get sick of temples, but never sick of the trees.


Partial view of the Fuji Five Lakes - I think this one is Lake Kawaguchiko.


Fuji-Q Highland's rollercoaster - passed by while cycling to another destination.
