Japan in Autumn, Part Ten (Last Part folks!)

Today, I am going to see Mt. Fuji　富士山　！！

Breakie from the convenience store again. Onigiri, grilled salmon.


reached the bus station


After a two hour ride, finally, I see Mt Fuji.


Had lunch at a little shop near the Lake Kawaguchiko 河口湖


I just ordered from the Japanese menu and I got some sort of dumpling


Too bad the mountain was a lil shy today




saw this beautiful aura


next stop was shopping at the Gotemba Premium Outlets. Many stores, like a factory outlet with items on heavy discounts.


realised I must have been too involved in the shopping and only took two photos throughout. this is the second photo.


bacon and egg mayo with corn, bread. from the convenience store. once again.


passed by stacking carpark.


i think this is lunch. grilled salmon onigiri with blueberry yoghurt drink.


went to Harajuku 原宿, a youngster shopping area. This is Takeshita-dori 竹下どり. Full of clothes and humans.


was quite tired, so decided to have early lunch at Mac. Realised the last time I said I had McPork, sorry, I was wrong. It is actually called McRibs. hahahahha.


Can they bring this here? I loved it.


Nightfall


Dinner was curry rice


at this lil standing shop


on the way back, i bought a variety of beer




breakie was milk.


and sushi.
tried to go to Tsukiji Market 築地市場 but they were closed. so I headed for a sushi shop to have sushi for breakie!



ootoro 大トロ tuna belly. will just die for. it just meltssss in your mouth




After breakie, we headed for the Imperial Garden. Passed by the moat that surrounded the Palace area.


When I reached the area, I found out that it was free-rental-cycle day! Every Sunday, apparently. You just need to register and you get the bike to cycle on the designated route.


mine


someone's happy


they actually closed the road for this, every week. And yes, I am quite capable of taking photos while riding.



After the ride, we walked slowly towards the Imperial Garden.
Poodle is hungry!



Someone had ice cream, it melted. Then it flowed down, and I had to just snap a picture, without offering any help to clean up.




chanced upon a race of sorts.


This is Nijiubashi Bridge 二重橋, within the Imperial Palace, which is a popular spot for photo taking.


smile.


The main entrance to the garden.


This used to be the guards' house.


pretty purple

as cute. as me. ha


Ended the garden tour and walked towards Tokyo Station.


Found the food market at the basement. This is the cooked food section. Oh My.











This ... is the dessert section... GORGE!






Managed to get tickets to ZED, the resident show of Cirque Du Soleil. My favourite circus.




this picture, is for the clowns.


After the show, which was great (no pict allowed), dinner was at one of the restaurants at one of the Disney hotel.



the next day, we had to leave. sadly.
I left, wearing my new boots.

This handsome lil one, is Takeru! Kyoko's lil boy.


And look how Mizuki-chan have grown. See her in my last trip here.

There you are. I conclude my Autumn trip.
It was a good experience.
