JAPAN, Mishima

On our last day in Japan we took

a trip to Mishima to see FUJISAN,

or Mt. Fuji.

Our plan was to take the train to Mishima

and then take a bus or taxi to the base of the mountain.

When we arrived in Mishima we discovered

the trip was going to cost us $300US.

So we voted to stay in Mishima.

FUJISAN can usually be seen from Mishima

but on that day the cloud cover was too heavy

and it blocked the top of the mountain.

Fujisan is BEHIND the BIG, white, fluffy clouds.

We ate lunch at a DELIGHTFUL local restaurant

that had a nice PICTURE of Mt. Fuji :).

I really enjoyed this restaurant because

it reminded me of homes I ate in during

my mission to Hokkaido, Japan.

It felt more like a home than a restaurant.

In fact, I believe it WAS the owner's home.

YUMMY!!! - Katsudon

"Gochisosama deshita"

Which means - Thank you for the delicious meal!

Back to Tokyo.

Another BEAUTIFUL ride!

At the airport

we enjoyed us some SUMO wrestling.

What an AMAZING time we had in 

the BEAUTIFUL land of 

THE RISING SUN!!

NIHON ni HONTO ni arigato gozaimashita!!

(To Japan - Thank you so very much)
