OMG Japan! : Lake Kawaguchi

Here's how i'm going to do it. I will do seperate posts for the different prefectures or areas that I visited in Japan in chronological order. More or less. There are so many pictures I want to share but I can only put up so little.

Our first visit was to Owakudani Valley, or Hell's Valley which features sulphurous-gas spewing and hot steam gushing out from the cracks of the volcanically active earth. The whole place smells worse than the mud from Gurney Drive. WORSE.

We then mostly spent our day in these villlage-y, rural areas. In the evening we headed to an onsen at Lake Kawaguchi, a hot spring resort typ-ish place, donned yukatas and spent the rest of the day in some sort of high. Well, words just don't do justice.

- Sulphurous gas streaming out from the mountain.



- Owakudani Valley.



- Mount Fuji!



- Jon, Soph, lecturer (Ms. Shereen) and me.



- udon lunch



- View from the fifth station of Mount Fuji.



- Mount Fuji in the background.



- Walking on the streets of Lake Kawaguchi wearing the yukata and clogs was secretly awesome.



- Having to sleep on tatami mats at the hotel is so cool!



- Dinner.



- I could totaly get used to this life.

Stay tuned for more.
