Day 10 – Road Tripping

After leaving Minokamo we headed south towards Shizuoka area near Mt Fuji.

Stopping to look at some limestone caves and then a picnic lunch at the FUJISANHONGU SENGENTAISHA before visiting the beautiful Mt Fuji Heritage Center.

As is often the way Fuji San played hide and seek all day with us. The drive up to the fifth station still had the peak hidden but for a moment…

The crew are all asleep in a gorgeous modern Ryokan style hotel which looks like it’s from an anime movie. Dinner was. French Japanese fusion menu…

Your children have shown much resilience today after an emotional goodbye with the hosts families to happy smilies and laughs on the bus!

Tomorrow sees us explore the area around Mt Fuji, learn about the Tokugawa Shogunate’s harsh rules and regulations for the people of that era and to ride a pirate boat!

A beautiful gift given to Anya K by her host mother….
