After arriving in Japan, we first travelled to the town of Fujikawaguchiko, where we stayed in a beautiful hotel directly on Lake Kawaguchiko.

The reason for coming to Fujikawaguchiko was to have fantastic views of Fujisan - Mt. Fuji; however, as it turned out, we had quite miserable weather whilst here and, due to the low cloud and the rain we did not get a single view of Fujisan :(

Luckily we were able to rectify this later on in the holiday...

Although Fujisan remained shy, we were still able to enjoy a number of very interesting sights, such as the beautiful open-air museum Iyashi no Sato and the fascinating Fugaku Wind Cave.
