We were lucky to seea sunset in Japan on the very first day of the trip. Woohoo.... a picture perfect photo. =)
God made so many flowers for our eyes to rest on.
Went to this temple, Dong Da Si (forgot the jap name), where there were many deers around. So cute, and they're not afraid of humans.
My mum looking cute with a deer. =)
Looks like the deer really likes me??
This is a view from another temple. Kyo Mizu temple, qing shui si. From a hill, or was it a mountain??
An upward view from Kyo Mizu temple.
Their temples are really nice and peaceful and the view really allows one to relax.
Also taken within the temple. What's better than a place of worship surrounded by nature? Really awesome.
A close up view of a tree. Nice leaves.
On the road to Mount Fuji! Homes with farms.
Can you see Mount Fuji in this photo? When we went there, Mount Fuiji was hidden between clouds, one above, one below, so can only see middle view of Mount Fuji. Click on the pic to see a zoomed in view and a really clear pic of Mount Fuji!
Yet another photo of Mount Fuji. This one can see the shape of Mount Fuji.
Really straight trees. Can never see in Singapore.
Cherry Blossoms aka Sakura! We were lucky once again because it was actually past the Cherry Blossom season, but still managed to catch the late blooming ones.
On the road up Mount Fuji. Snow snow snow!

There are actually five steps that the bus can drive up. Depending on the weather, when we reach the gate, the people will tell us which step we can go up to. We were luck again, can go all the way up, up, up despite light rains and dark sky. 2305m. My mum's umbrella broke while we were on Mount Fuji. Haha....
Already melting ice....
A village near Mount Fuji.
Beautiful flowers.
View from our hotel for the night. In that hotel, there was the Onsen bath, wen quan, had to go in naked. I went!! With tour mates and mum. My tour mates are pretty cool.... Average age of 30 plus.
A garden in front of the hotel. Nope, this is not cherry blossom, think it's mei hua or something.
Lake Kawaguchi, right in front of the hotel and near Mount Fuji.
A view from another hotel lobby. Sheraton Miyako. Yup, we managed to stay in a 5-star hotel! =)
This is actually a waterfall in Disneyland Tokyo while we were on the River Cruise. There were tons of people! Because it was their Golden Week, an annual holiday week including children's day and public holiday. Only managed to ride 5 rides because we had to queue around one hour for each rides. The jap are really cool people. They're polite and they never ever complain ever in the long queues. Imagine Singaporeans being there.....- Japan trip- all things natural
