I was lucky to meet Mario in Japan and now we are engaged and living in Spain. We have no idea what the future holds, but we’re sure it will be adventurous! ... full info

HI Marissa, I'm from Sweeden and will come to Shizuoka from October. Love your stories! I saw some pics with salsa club. Since I love it could you tell me something more about it. Are there many pubs and plases to rock on in Shizuoka? Do you know some European there?Thanks a lot!

sardine filled room
I like your description of the sleeping place in the mountain hut--sardine filled room. I guess we (Japanese) are used to that style because of our school trip. Anyway, if you are interested please join Mount Fuji Guide (http://mountfujiguide.com) and get connected with other people who climbed Mount Fuji.
