Staying in a Japanese style room at the Konansau Ryokan in Kawaguchiko. It's a little north of Mt. Fuji and has a pretty good view. Hopefully a little less clouds tomorrow so I can get some additional shots. This whole area is an incredibly mountain range. Mountains and valleys everywhere. A really nice place and I can't imagine living here in ages gone by.
The ravens in Japan are ridiculously big. They're big at home but these feel bigger somehow.
It's an interesting mountain jutting out of the middle of nothing. Isolated in its location.
Japanese style dinner. Has a huge variety of stuff to try and certainly a lot of fish. I'm not the biggest fish eater as I prefer shrimp/crab/etc. But still pretty good and a nice way to try a whole bunch of things I hadn't heard of before!
After dinner a stroll around Lake Kawaguchi felt in order. There's a bridge that cuts it down the middle and I took that instead of the extra 30 minutes. Found a batting cage along the way and stopped for a couple rounds. I will say I'm surprised I was hitting anything. Not sure how I knew where to swing and connect as I haven't done anything at all like that in probably 14-15 years. Might go back and do some more as it was pretty fun! The bat was a little short as was the pitch..
Good amount of blossoms are here as well. Didn't intend for it but lucky me!
Oysasumi Nasai!
