Dear All Greetings from beautiful and majestic Mt Fuji! Well, I’m not actually staying on the mountain itself, but one of the many nearby tourist resorts called Kawaguchiko, attractively situated on Lake Kawaguchiko, one of the Fuji Five Lakes situated to the north of the mountain, and each offering stunning views of the mountain reflected in its waters. That is, if you can see the mountain dur... Read Full Entry

Japan and the mid range traveller
Loved this blog! So far we have not given much thought about visiting Japan. It is fascinating for us, but we have been more on trips for a lower budget so far. Lately, travelling through India, we discovered the comforts of the more midrange traveller and really enjoyed it. But this blog made us really curious and hungry for Japan. Looking forward to your next blogs from Japan and also Korea! Happy travels and many more spiritual moments!

The Mid-Range Traveller!
I love that expression, and I think I must be one too :) Japan really isn't as expensive as might think, if you book hotels online in advance and eat at cheap noodle eateries (I'm not sure about vegan options here though, but there are plenty of small convenience shops for self-catering). I get the impression it is a very spiritual place indeed, I hope to learn and experience more here. I would highly recommend it so far :D

Kawaguchiko Manhole Cover - Thanks Per :D

It's the manhole covers...
...and it has the name of the city on it. :) This one says Kawaguchiko-machi, Town of Kawaguchiko. :) I love these, they are a very colourful addition to the city and they usually feature famous landmarks or features of the city or town. :)

Another great addition!
Very enjoyable read as always, I'm longing to go back so much now! I look forward to see your impressions of Kyoto!

Return to Japan
Thank you Per! I understand how much you must be looking forward to returning to Japan now. I think I understand your love for this country, I think I share this. Off to Nara today, close to your pilgrimage area I believe, though I imagine a bit more touristy...! Looking forward to reading your blogs too when I get home. All the best with the pre-trip planning my friend :)

Majestic Mt. Fuji
Japan seems like a great fit for you. Seems as if your soul is finding comfort. I'm glad you took us along to the waterfall. The futon looks comfortable. You've met some wonderful people and enjoyed the saki.

Japan
Indeed, I agree. I feel quite well-suited to travel in Japan :D I think my previous two joint-favourite countries of Brazil and Turkey are meeting with some serious competition now! Indeed, Mt Fuji was a wonderful experience, thank you for your encouraging comments :D

Throwing yourself into the trip
I love how you are throwing yourself into this trip and are having such an authentic experience. Plus, the brothel story made me laugh.

Thank you Brendan :)
Thank you Brendan. Definitely enjoying this trip so far. Japan was just amazing. Just arrived in South Korea a few days ago. It's really quite different, but I'm looking forward to exploring more. Thanks again for your kind comment :)
