A long day today. Because it was a public holiday we decided to forgoe the coach as the roads were jammed and we took a series of trains and cable cars to view Fuji. Spectacular mountain scenery most of the way and once at the viewing platform we had a great view of the quite often elusive mountain. From there the cable car down to a lake for lunch and then a cruise over to the other side. We viewed the old passport check point between Tokyo and Kyoto and the mountain path of the samurai. Then down the mountain via beautiful traditional towns and hot spring resorts. We are now sitting on the bullet train travelling at over 270 mph on our way to Kyoto. A great day although very tiring and I would recommend an overnight stop in the mountains.
