I took a trip to see the famous Mount Fuji and spent the whole day trying to catch a glimpse of the summit through thick mist, rain and fog. It's the middle of Japan's summer and the rainy season was supposed to have finished a month ago, but in these parts, they are having 'unusual weather'. Station 5, which is about 2600 feet up and where the walkers start off to climb the further 1000 was a tourist nightmare and I was eager to leave. Also stayed overnight at Hakone, a tiny local town. It is very green here with thick woodland and it's very pretty but there's not a lot going on. So the weather conditions sparked a decision to bullet train it back to Tokyo as I've located the district where they filmed 'Lost in Translation' which I loved. So one of the girls I met on the trip and I are having a film set moment tonight!http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/PocketGem/JapanMountFujiAndArea#
