Kawaguchiko

Wow! Fuji is cool from our balcony, but it's even more spectacular up close. We opted to take the train there and got an all day bus pass that circled lake Kawaguchiko. It was a cold weekday, so we didn't have to fight off many tourists.


We had the option of an entire fish grilled on a stick or a hot dog for lunch. We went for the hot dog and boy was it good. I guess either way we ended up eating some internal organs.

This is mochi pounding. Erik usually doesn't like mochi so he was pleasantly surprised by how good fresh steaming hot mochi is. We accidentally fell in with a tour group and played the foreigner card to get some homemade soup as well!
