After 2hrs bus ride from Kawaguchiko area to Tokyo, we checked into our airbnb and explored Shibuya area. And because we only had about 2 days in Tokyo, so we got the 48-hour pass.

Tokyo Metropolitan Building for panoramic view (closes at 6:45pm)

 

Of course we had to take some neoprints!!

We went at about 930pm, and had to queue an hour for Ichiran Ramen. We felt that it was not worth the queue, like random ramen shops we had was as good / better than this tbh :/

 

 

Tsukiji Market

Had our first Omakase experience and this cost about $80. We didn't really like it.. Haha, all we want is salmon sashimi but you can't really find that in Japan. Japanese prefers tuna sashimi.

Jiyugaoka (Little Europe)

Red Rock

 

Bye Japan, till next time <3

Oh, and Japan's 7-11 is next level!!!

 

Stayed at Fujizakura Inn for a night, it's a bit far from town, but they provide shuttle bus. But from that inn, you can see Mt Fuji!

Took the Fujikyu Railway to check out Chereito Pagoda.

Got the 2 day pass to travel around. (http://bus-en.fujikyu.co.jp/heritage-tour/detail/id/1/) - We end up only used this pass for a day, because the next day we're headed to Fuji-Q highland for rides. But it's still worth it, and there's no other way to travel around unless you rent a car / book a tour.

1st stop: Lake Kawaguchi - oishi park

On our 2nd day, we checked out and stayed at Guesthouse Sakuya because we wanted to experience onsen (and comes with a view of Mt Fuji!) - The onsen is a private one, but not in the room, you'll have to book a hour slot with the front-desk.
 

And of course, we loveeee thrill rides, so we had to come to Fuji-Q Highland!! There was about 1-2hrs queue for some of the rides, we didn't manage to try all rides, but cleared a few on our list!!
