Breakfast was quite heavy (for me)...an omelette, ham, sausage, some lettuce....yogurt, orange juice, toast, coffee.
After checking out, we walked from our hotel back to Lake Kawaguchi.
Can you believe the leaves were more plentiful and more colorful last week?!
Itchiku Kubota was a textile artist who apparently revived a lost art technique called "tsujigahana" which is a method of dyeing and decorating cloth.
The kimono collection (on display) that he created were beautiful.
And the grounds that his museum is on is also beautiful, so be sure to walk around.
Admission is 1300 yen but worth it to see the hillsides behind the buildings especially since the leaves had changed.
Houtou is a local dish that is similar to miso soup with flat noodles in it.
Satoshi had the kinoko (mushroom) version while I ordered the kabocha (pumpkin).
Huge pieces of kabocha, daikon (radish) as well as other veggies and noodles...it was a very hardy dish.
After lunch, Mount Fuji decided to show herself, so we decided to check her out...
This is where many people, maybe even Lonely Planet has taken many shots of Mount Fuji.
At this time of day though, the backlight was pretty harsh so the photos we took were mostly shadowy.

I hope you enjoyed our short adventure as much as we did.
We were lucky to see Mount Fuji for two days in a row.

so pretty, especially that first one of the fall foliage street! Lots of people up early too.
I must say I've been pretty lucky on all my visits to Japan, seeing peak seasons for kochia in Hitachinaka, all sorts of blooms in Hokkaido, including shibazakura in Hokkaido and around the 5 lakes, fall foliage around Lake Towada and Kurobe Gorge.
Saw views of Fujisan from Shosenkyo Gorge, and Takaosan Only place I couldn't catch Fujisan was from Mishima that was storming and clouded over. We could see Fujisan very clearly from our hotel room in Mishima although we overlooked a treatment plant LOL.
