Mount Fuji

Fuji Mountain.. or the Japanese call it Fuji-san.. like a "Mr. Fuji"! Hehe.. 

No I was kidding. . 

San means mountain ..but has different kana.. with same reading with san for Mister..

Therefore

Fuji=name of this place

San= mountain

It is actually quite complicated for a first timer to reach the Fuji Mt. Thefore we took a tour. Tour start at 7am from the Nagoya bus sta. The tour agent office is in the basement level of ETSU mall.. just opposite McDonalds.

Kintetsu tour bus, that's our bus.. Guided by an English speaking, Ms Hasegawa

1. From Nagoya bus sta. to Shakashima Park waterfall via Kofu Showa
(Highway toll ¥14,800)
Twice R&R stop (20 mins each)
Sokawo lake?
8km long tunnel.. too many tunnels actually!
Travel 4 hrs

2. From the Waterfall to Shibazakura

Shibazakura means Moss Phlox.

A special type of creeping flower tree which grows on the mountain.

Here you can view the Mt Fuji. Fujishima? 

Travel 3 hrs

Returning back to Nagoya took 5 hours due to traffic jam (2x rnr stops). 

We arrived Nagoya city at 22:00hrs. Nice tour.. nice guide, Ms Hasegawa!

Alhamdulillah

There are also other ways to reach Fuji Mountain. For those who want to go by trains, Kawaguchiko sta. is the nearest one. Or try to go to Shizuoka town.
