The last two days have gone by much easier than the previous days. In this section I have been winding my way around the base of Mt Fuji, which is relatively flat, and it has provided the opportunity for some great photos of the area. Warning: The will be a lot of photos of Mt Fuji in this post
The ladies at the place I was staying fixed me up a huge breakfast, including ham, eggs, dried fish, natto, rice, miso soup, pickles, and meatballs. I was a bit overwhelmed by the selection but ate it all up happily and bid them farewell. I then got on climbing the only mountain I would have to overt the next two days, Mt Ohira. I think I only had to climb a measly 300m or so, so compared to the last few days this was nothing. It was here I got my first, of what was to be many, great views of Fuji:
And Lake Yamanaka too:
The trail then led me in and around the base of Mt Fuji to all kinds of places:
 |
| Around farms |
 |
| Past "Happy Drink Shop" |
 |
| To places where I could take five and relax |
 |
| Following canals |
 |
| Past blooming sakura |
 |
| Meeting the locals |
 |
| Through temples |
 |
| To places that didn't makes it |
 |
| And some that did (Fujikyu Highland Amusement Park) |
 |
| There were plenty of dogs |
 |
| And some cats too |
 |
| Don't forget the cows! |
 |
| Past messages of wisdom |
 |
| And through forests too. |
 |
| Down deserted roads |
 |
| To the yellow submarine |
 |
| Past some great sights... |
 |
| That went on... |
 |
| And on... |
 |
And on...
But nothing compared to Fuji
So I took photo
After photo...

It really has been a great two days to be alive, I've gotten to see so many beautiful things. I've now found a place to sleep behind some thick hedges on the grounds of golf club in the Asagiri Plateau. Hopefully I will not get asked to leave in the middle of the night by a security guard.
