Just a quick post, I checked another item off my bucket list! For almost 18 years, 6 trips, many delays and much bad weather, I have been trying to see Mount Fuji, and finally got to see it, snow-capped and amazing, along with cherry blossoms!
I have been checking the weather for the Shizuoka area, around Mount Fuji, and the weather for Wednesday said there was a 1% chance of cloud cover, so I made my plans to leave early Wednesday morning. The plan was to get to Enoshima, to the south of Tokyo with a famous view of Fuji from the east, get there with the morning sun shining full on, and hopefully finally see the mountain. And I made it! I rode trains to Ofuna, got on the Shonan Monorail, and when I got to Enoshima station there was an observation deck with a view towards Fuji, and there it was! It was kind of hazy, and a bit hard to see, but it was unmistakable!
Now, I can finally get on with the rest of the trip, at peace!
