Stay for about an hour and go home.
Mt.Fuji after a long absence.
When I was young, I often went to Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka.
When I was a child (elementary school student), I often went skating to Lake Yamanaka in winter.
Lake Yamanaka was frozen and I could skate. (About 50 years ago)
And I got a small hole cut and fished smelt.
I still remember eating it on the spot.
I realized the wonderfulness of Mt. Fuji again on this trip.
It was a short trip, but my daughter's husband seemed to have enjoyed it.
