Day 8: Back to Nagoya
18 April 2019, Thursday
Before heading back Nagoya, we decided to make full use of the morning to check out one more tourist spot in Fuji area.
Just 2 train stops away from Fujisan Station, we alighted at Shimoyoshida Station (δΈεη°ι§
) and walked to Arakurayama Sengen Park.

Amazing weather, cherry blossoms, Mt Fuji as the backdrop and great company. π
If you google search Chureito Pagoda, you would probably see many pictures at this particular angle ^. This is actually a designated photo spot. Its so extremely crowded with everyone trying to get their shot at this amazing scenery, but so worth the wait.
With that, our Mt. Fuji adventures came to a close, but not without getting our stomachs filled first.

And here comes the funny story of how we nearly had to split up to get back to the station to return to Nagoya. So we took a bus to this stop which had buses headed for Mishima (the station that we were going to take the Shinkansen from).
The first bus that came by did not have enough space for all of us, so we waited for the next (and panicked a little because we realised that we were somewhat in the middle of the route - which meant, we were gambling with the chance of having 4 seats available on the bus for us).
So we just sat on our luggage, frantically searching for other means of transport in case this didn't work out. Coming up with plans on how we could split into 2 groups if the next bus didn't have enough space.. etc.. Thankfully, it all worked out.
AirBnB

A very cosy apartment...
If you were to ask me, what is the most stressful part about staying in an AirBnB in Japan, it would definitely be the sorting of trash. There are so so many grey areas about whether something is plastic or not, are they combustible or not, etc... etc... π
Apart from that, it was a very good maiden experience for me staying in an AirBnB. I'm glad it was in Japan. π
