Day 8 - Kawaguchiko
(Day 8) Towards Kawaguchiko today! Checked out of the capsule hotel early since I did not enjoy staying there. Had my breakfast and headed to board the highway bus which I bought the tickets for the day before.
The bus ride from Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko took about 1 hour 45 mins. I slept for the bulk of time in the bus. Finally arrived at Kawaguchiko! The first thing I felt after alighting from the bus was that the weather here is nice! Felt like it was about 20 degree celcius.
I stayed at this hostel called K’s House for that night. Top notch service from them, they even picked me up when I called them from the tourist information centre even though I am the only one, and it only costed me 3,300 yen for 1 night! The staff at the hostel also gave me some good recommendations for activities and places to go. Quick picture of the dorm. In the end, only 2 (including me) stayed in this dorm despite being a 6-person one.
I wasted no time going out since this was the highlight of my trip, being able to see Mt. Fuji. Got myself the 2 day sightseeing bus pass for 1,200 yen. This was the bus that brought me around all the different spots around Lake Kawaguchiko.
Had my lunch at one of the sightseeing stops. The cafe overlooked lake Kawaguchiko.
