-Yawnz-
Tired....
Either because of the Tatami that was too thin (the floor is hard) or the hot spring is too relaxing, aching here and there (Just like full body massage, the next day the body will be screaming for help).
Wake up pretty early today and MS called us to the window.
Look at what we have seen!
There is a layer of haze covering the surface of the Lake Saiko. Another "indescribable" scene, and you won't really feel as much unless you witness this your own. Anyway, we immediately got changed and ran to the lake side to snap before it disappear due to the sun. 
Who knows when we were there, we suddenly heard some animal howling.

As Winnie has told us that there are actually bears that lived in the forest and they do appears at times. PS obviously has got a fright and she grabbed me. Anyway I told her if we are really so "lucky" to see one, just remember to keep very very still and look into their eyes until they moved off. Well as it was about time to go we walked back to the hotel to get ready for breakfast. Same type, lotsa plates, traditional Japanese breakfast.
After breakfast, we went to this Lyashi no Sato Nenba里根場, 
huts with grass rooftop. The weather is so fine that we keep seeing Mt. Fuji waving hi to us. The work of my Sunshine doll... =D
The village that we went to is a 文化遺產, and it was destroyed by a typhoon many years ago and they rebuilt the village but no one stays there anymore. According to Winnie, in the olden days every day the villagers would light a fire which is actually to kill all the worms and bugs which inhibits there so as to make the roof more lasting.
After that, it's our LONG AWAITED Mt. Fuji!
Thank goodness the weather is so fine that we went up to the fifth station---五合目。 It was FREEZING COLD up there, only 9 degrees! And we see snow on the mountain, it was just so near!
The jacket I brought was already the warmer one yet I can hear my teeth knocking against one another!

But I enjoy and love the weather! 5 Stars for the scenery and another helpful staition staff who took the trouble to explain about Mt. Fuji though it was more like a chicken and duck talk. =P
Went to 河口湖 for another Japanese style lunch. O-I--SHIIIIIII!!!! ! It is somewhat like Sukiyaki set in my old part time place, NICE! 
And finally I have time to get some souvenier. Took a few picture. 
Didn't dare to try the lavendar ice-cream as they said it taste like detergent. =P And we moved on to Owakudani Boiling Valley 大涌谷 which is left behind due to volcano eruption. It was almost an hour journey to there, I think it is quite common for people to travel so far in Japan.

Damn... This boiling valley STINKS! Literally. Due to the Sulphur smell it smell exactly as if someone has just passed wind! The moment we reached there the whole bus was filled with that smell. -Cough- I guess this is the only place whereby you pass wind also there won't be anyone who would notice it. *Fainted*
Well, just for experience we 'ta-han" the smell and climbed to 1,050m and take picture. Hmm, I guess we can use this, "Can't judge the place by the picture." Why? The view is superb, but the smell... Allow me to repeat... IT STINKS!!! -PUKE-* 
*We are smiling, but actually we are holding our breathe...*
I wonder how people can eat the eggs there? Is it because of what is written there? Have 1 egg and you can extend your life for 7 years, 2 for 14 years, etc... Then all of us should be invincible! LOL. May be should try feeding the DIL, it may help. -Grinz-
*We found this machine transporting eggs up...*
*Found this plant 'spitting' white foam on our way back down, probably this place is too smelly. LOL.*
When we finally get out from there, it's a 3 hours ride to Toyohashi where our hotel is and we passed by this resting place which I guess it's near 靜岡 because it sells a lot of products stating 靜岡 special ---Green tea. From Mochi to biscuit, from tea bag to cookies and even Green Tea Dog! (O_O)
After buffet dinner we went for a walk, a pity cannot find any special 扭蛋, I am crazy over it in Japan; but I found this Rabbit which I saw in Tokyo 2 days ago which looks 陰濕but cute. It was not an easy get because after I insert ¥200 nothing came out!!!
-Panick-
With limited Japanese and sign language and I got ther person to open and get it for me. Hee... For a moment I thought I would not have got it back because I have tried once like that in Singapore and the shopkeeper said there is no way he can open it and get the money or product for me as he don't have the key. From then on I stopped playing 扭蛋 unless I really like the toy A LOT. So Lucky!
Look, this is the hotel lift!
