Things you don't see at home every day: Mount Fuji


View of Mount Fuji seen from the plane on our approach to Tokyo. We were lucky to be sitting on the left side of the plane and we got great views as the plane made its approach. We got another couple of glimpses from the train on our way to Kyoto and back from Hamamatsu. As expected, we didn't see it at all from Tokyo, even from the observatory at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Buildings, on the 45th floor (boy am I glad there was no aftershock when we were up there!), as it was too hazy.

Yes, we were amongst the very few Westerners who didn't cancel their holidays to Japan this spring. And I'm so glad we went. We had a ball of a time!
