We’ve been so busy looking at sites that the blog has had to play second fiddle! Every day is full of new experiences and it’s ticking a lot of boxes. After Tokyo, we drove towards Yokohama via Kamakura. We stopped at the Giant Buddha which is an iconic Japanese site.

After that we passed Kamakura Beach front, where the workers were dismantling various cafes as it is the end of the Summer season. On to Enoshima Island, where we climbed between 300 and 400 stairs to a lookout which gave spectacular views of the surrounding area.

The next day we drove to Mount Fuji. Station number 5. You could see the mountain in the distance as we drove towards it. Actually the better view in my opinion. Station five is a starting point for those trekking to the top. It costs 3000¥…it use to be free, but because there were so many people they decided to limit the numbers. The many trekkers were decked out in their hiking gear and ready to make the ascent. We just took a few pics and had lunch. Later visiting the centre, watching a short film about Fuji and viewing the exhibits. That was enough for us.
