Mount Fuji

The one package trip we did in Japan was to Mount Fuji and the nearby Lake Ashi, as these aren't easy to get to without driving.
At 12,389 feet (3,776 meters) high it's an impressive sight even from a distance.
But as you get closer you realize how big it really is.
The road ends at the Fifth Station, where there are some tourist facilities and a small shrine which I'll show you next week.
Here's a final shot from later in the day just before the clouds moved in, near Lake Ashi.
