Mt. Fuji

We left Tokyo in the torrential rain.  It didn't let up all the way to Mt. Fuji, a two hour drive from Tokyo.  We drove up the winding road to the Fifth Station, sometimes called "the boundary between heaven and earth" because it lies above the level of the clouds.  We could not see more than a few feet in front of the bus.  We learned all about Mt. Fuji before venturing out to "The Gates".  Unfortunately, the wind and rain soaked us to the skin and we we're not sure if we were even at the right mountain.

If all else fails...go to the gift shop.
