Blog posts about Japan.

As part of our visit to Mt Fuji, we spent a night at a traditional Japanese ryokan.

In an attempt to keep costs from going parabolic we are committed to trying to use buses and metro’s when we can to save money.

A couple of weeks before coming I did a little digging and found a two day, overnight Mt. Fuji tour which would pick us up in Tokyo, visit some of the popular stops around Fuji and bring us back to Tokyo the next day.

I will admit that most of my knowledge of Japan comes from video games and entertainment. That combined with the western fascination with Japan’s… lets just say cultural quirks I really just didn’t know what to expect.
