Day 5: Off to visit Mt.Fuji
15 April 2019, Monday

Off off off we go to... MT. FUJI. 🌄 

Being on the Mt.Fuji-Shizuoka JR Pass (local JR trains only, does not include the Shinkansen), we decided to maximise our journey by making pit stops along the way to our accommodation located at Fujikyuu-highlands. 


To enjoy a hassle-free travel experience, we made use of the lockers located at one of the major stations along the route before exploring the Fuji area. 
(There are many of such lockers around at stations, most major stops would have them)


After doing away with our barang (luggage, etc), we headed straight for lunch!


Uogashi Maruten Restaurant (魚河岸丸天 みなと店)
Map: Japan, 〒410-0845 Shizuoka, Numazu, 千本港町100-1

To get to the restaurant, it takes just a short bus ride from Numazu station. 
(My memory is failing me since I'm blogging this a year on... 😭)




We definitely... ordered a little too much for 4 girls, but just look at how sumptuous it is. 


After a heavy meal, we took a short stroll along the pier.. 💖




Mishima Sky Walk (三島スカイウォーク)

A very clear view of Mt.Fuji



Forest Adventure... located within the sky walk (link)

If we knew about the forest trail... we would probably have reserved a whole day for this place (本当に、残念でした😭). I've always wanted to go on a trail like this but its too humid and expensive in Singapore. Apart from this forest trail, there's also a zipline right next to the sky walk that visitors can use to get from the opposite end back to the side where the entrance is - how cool is that?!

Even the washrooms look luxurious... hahahahahhaha


HOTEL MYSTAYS, FUJI ONSEN (ホテルマイステイズ富士山)
Map: 2654 Arakura, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi 403-0011, Japan

Our most luxurious accommodation throughout the trip, at Hotel Mystays! - Located right next to Fujikyuu-highlands theme park. 

With 4 of us in a room, some of us chose to go to the public bath area instead to speed up our showering time. (Its really quite convenient once you get used to the procedures in a public bath... hahahaha)
