Visiting Mount Fuji is part of the must-do visits when travelling around Japan and it was an immense privilege to have reached the 4th station @2020m in the year of the 2020 Olympics. The discovery of the Akashi/Ashinoko Lakes on a pirate boat and the volcanic area as well as the black egg was an unforgettable experience. Japan has very multi-faceted sceneries, from mountainous landscapes to sandy beaches, from forests to volcanic areas. Visiting these different areas is important for international visitors so as to understand more Japan. Our driver, Take is a very friendly and helpful person who has made our dream to catch a glimpse/to have a full view of the Mount Fuji come true during our trip to Japan. He also drove us to the Jigokudani Yaen Kōen Park to discover the snow monkeys and to the Karuizawa outlet mall for a shopping session. Our warmest thanks to Take for having safely taken us to these wonderful places and made memorable and precious photos for us.
