日本 Day 12

January 3, 2009.
We realized we were so lucky to be able to view Mount Fuji in such a beautiful sunny weather. We were pretty worried initially that we might not be able see the mountain because we heard that usually during the winter it's harder to see it. So, thank you SUN!

About 10am we took a train to Gotemba for the GOTEMBA PREMIUM OUTLETS.
We could already see Mount Fuji from there!


Can you see us in this picture?

After that we headed to Yamanaka-ko, one of the five lakes circling near the foot of Mount Fuji.


We also went to Kawaguchi-ko, another one of the five lakes. But when we got there it was late in the evening so we couldn't take any pictures of the mountains anymore. 

But we finally got to eat the famous Houtou noodles! 



We took a 6.40pm bus back to Shinjuku and then back to TOKYO BACKPACKERS.
End of Day 12
