It has long wanted to tell you about my trip to the holy land of almost all Japanese - Mount Fuji. It happened May 30, 2010. I will of fate was at that time in Tokyo. And, given that I was in Tokyo for quite a long time, it was decided to visit this place of pilgrimage. Unfortunately, in Tokyo on the day it began to rain, but the tickets were bought, and there's nowhere to go were
The quickest and cheapest way - is to take a bus ticket from Shinjuku Station to Kawaguchiko bass City. Kawaguchiko City - a small town at the foot of Fuji, who lives at the expense of this frozen volcano. The city is packed with all kinds of museums on this topic. Incidentally, in foggy weather, when it is not seen very Fuji, entrance to all museums is absolutely free))).

Kawaguchiko for a little walk, we had lunch and waited for the next bus, which was supposed to bring us to the place of disembarkation. It took about an hour, and given that the bus did not keyway, and the road led up all the time, during this hour, I remembered the basics of scuba diving and equalize the pressure in their ears. Well, here we are on the spot. Altitude - 2305 meters. Immediately felt pure mountain air and ... unearthly power that permeates everything!
