Japan Day 7

Today our destination was Mt. Fuji. We met our guide Kuaru and drove up to the 5th station (the furthest a car can take you). It was a very foggy and damp day, so we never were able to see the top of the mountain. We did enjoy a hike, lunch at a mountain hut, a kimono museum, several nautral mountain springs, a flower garden, and a hot foot bath.
