Beautiful Japan

We only had four days in Japan and we spent the time taking the train and going around Harajuku, Shinjuku, Shibuya and managed to squueze in one day to see Mount Fuji and Hakone. Hoping to come back Japan one day if we could.


Streets of Tokyo


Harajuku

The ever famous and forever crowded Shibuya crossing

Irfan's favourite part- Going on the bullet train

In the Shinkansen

Cruise on the serene Lake Ashi

The pretty Hakone- where we had our lunch overlooking the peaceful landscape

A pretty park

Captivating Mount Fuji on a clear, beautiful day. This was before the bus brought us up on Mount Fuji itself.

Reminds me of a postcard Ive seen

Reached the fifth station of Mount Fuji. It was sooo cold, temp was about 2 deg but the wind was extremely strong.



Taking the cable car or they call it 'the ropeway' with fantastic views of lakes, uneven landscape and mount fuji

Owakudani, a live crater

A shrine on Mount Fuji

A block of ice is not a good idea for a momento, dear boy

Goodbye Japan! We can't wait to see you again.
