Tokyo: Mount Fuji definitely didn't let me down.

The weather in Tokyo has been unstable recently, with constant overcast skies and rain.
Even today, it was windy and rainy when I went out.
Thinking that since I'm already here (tourist mentality), I prepared myself to not see Mount Fuji 🗻.

As expected, when I arrived at Arakurayama Sengen Park, after waiting for half an hour, dark clouds covered half of the mountain.
I was a little disappointed.

Then I went to the Ladder Town, and the wind slightly blew away the dark clouds, but I still couldn't see Mount Fuji.

The third stop was Oshino Hakkai. This time it was amazing!
The sun came out 🌅, and Mount Fuji was faintly visible with a bit of a creamy top.
It was super stunning! I envy the people who live here and see Mount Fuji every day when they open their doors 🗻.
If I could live in seclusion here, I would have no regrets.

The fourth stop was Lake Kawaguchi Park ⛲️.
I saw Mount Fuji from a different angle ⛰️. If I had enough time, I would rent a bike and cycle around the lake.

The last stop was Lawson convenience store.
Many people come here to take photos! Indeed, it's easy to take great photos when the weather is good, but it's hard to wait until there's no one in the background. It's hard to find a good spot 📷.

📍 Arakurayama Sengen Park – Ladder Town – Oshino Hakkai – Lake Kawaguchi Park – Lawson convenience store

These spots are a certain distance from downtown Tokyo, and transportation is not very convenient. It's enough to book a day tour.

Although these attractions have become popular because of their beautiful photos, the downside is that there are many tourists, and it's a bit of a trend.

If you have enough time and don't care too much about taking photos, it's actually better to stay for a few days and experience the local way of life.
