Day 5: Mount Fuji

We stayed here after the trip to kurobe dam. It is a beautiful place, also on top of a small mountain with a great view and the little chapel. Supposedly, u can see mount fuji, based on that little map.

Since the main attraction/tour site has been completed, there is nothing much to do but enjoy the ride, eat and SHOP! Yes. with all the aunts on the bus, there is nothing else we can do but to go to factory outlets. But not just the normal outlet. fantastic outlet area which looks great. U can picnic, bring your doggies, you can even cycle around here.

They have quite ok food, and beautiful 'pan'. Green tea pan, and 'ringo' pan. yeah!

Now ... off to our next hotel. And on the way we saw mount Fuji! pretty. I think we probably snapped 10+ photos just of the mountain in the bus. We reached the hotel about 4pm. the exterior of the hotel wasnt too interesting, but take a look at the room we've got. We got one whole floor to ourselves, with three rooms.

The entrance to the floor from the lift. Our bedroom, the livingroom, which has a direct view of Mount Fuji.

Corridor, the other room and the mahjong room

The Bathroom with the view. and of course the amazing aunts!

then it was dinner time. It was suppose to be a buffet, which serves a wide a variety of asian food. and the large crabs from japan. Free Flow! But that is not the highlight.

We got the special from the restaurant (cos we know the people there), the Japanese Melon smells amazing, and really does just melts in your mouth without much chewing. We also got a plate of japanese beef. We were assured that it does not lose out to Kobe beef, and it was fantastic. so so tender. Wagyu beef step aside- you are too tough!

Now for a little after dinner taiwanese sport. Karaoke and tango! Everyone came to our room/floor and 'exercised' a little. then ate more japanese strawberry, which taste exactly like the bubblegum flavours. Now i know where the strawberry flavour came from. Yep. that was it for the day. Shopping. Food. View. Singing. Drinks.
