Finding Mt. Fuji

It was well worth staying overnight to catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji! I was a at luxury capsule hotel that was right next to a train station. I went three stops away to the Fuji Ladder Town and walked to the pagoda. I was able up go back to that same station and get back to Tokyo in just a couple of hours!

From there, I met my hostel mate at the Gotokuji cat shrine. We continued the cat theme by going to Rarasand Cafe where they had tasty and cute cat shaped treats. We also waited to see the beckoning cat train. It doesn’t come frequently so be sure to check the times. There is also a cafe that has a view of it but you should check their opening hours. They were closed on that day so we just sat at the station.

We went to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building for free aerial views of the city! It wasn’t crowded and it was a gorgeous area with a nice selection of souvenirs.

We finally went to Shibuya at night with another girl from the hostel. We were able to commemorate our time together with a Photo Booth shoot! It was perfect for my scrapbooking!
