I have never been to Japan before, really I do. Previously, I did not plan any kind of trips to Japan for the closure of 2019. I was actually have another plan by having a trip to Czech Republic.

Coincidentally, things get little bit messy, not a little one but not a big one either. I failed to have an europe trip, was kinda sad, yet I don’t actually drowning into this gloom moment.

Eventually, finding my shortcut, eventhough I need to bye bye Prague, but gladly I still have my chance to say welcome to Japan. Okay, now let’s begin this special trip to enclose the introduction.

Shinjuku is where I stayed for 5 days in Tokyo, this district was chaotic, cars, buildings, tunnels, sushi restaurants are scattered everywhere. Being one of Tokyo’s big district, makes Shinjuku as the main base for metro, bus, and train.

Travelling from Shinjuku to Mount Fuji its not a short story, in fact the estimated times is 1 hour and 20 minutes, correct me. Yet, it is not on my dictionary, where I have to lost by choosing the regular train which connecting the small districts only.

Though then I need to have my special train and its called JR Limited Express Train. The price for 1 ticket it is around 2.250 Yen (Japan Currency), this price only for one way ticket and still I need to brought a new ticket for my way back home.

Many reviewer and people come to me and said that Japan is one of the country with all the things can be labelled as expensive. Then I guess it’s true 😵. But, as for your once in a lifetime experience, it won’t turns out to be a regret one. Because, when you suddenly hit this Fujiyama, a dazed and a pleasuring sight will eventually come straight into your eyes.

If I have a million chance to going on a trip by years later, I definitely choose Fujiyama and stay for about couple nights just to enjoy this great view.

I did not exactly know and count how many bus stop is in there, as long as I remembered there’s about 22–30 I guess. What makes this fujiyama is a great spot to have a leisure, first the transportation of this city is not that complicated, they really serve the best one for the tourist.

Although, beginning of 2020, lots of people from all around the globe have their trip to fuji, though it makes long line queue for every attraction and bus also train, but what I personally love about Japan is that they’re strict enough to keep following the order or the conduct so basically it thus affecting the tourist to keep in order. If you really can’t do it, then don’t, like really don’t!

Houses and neighbourhoods in Fujiyama own their original design as traditional as it seems, I remember one time I ate the Udon in one cottage, and it feels like I already living as a Japanese :D. Hot food and winter are the best combination ever, add an extra point when your view is Kawaguchi Lake.

I almost forgot to say this, but when you come to this city, I suggest you to buy a package ticket which consist of 2 main spot to see how’s the beauty of Mt.Fuji. This package you are probably going to have a cable car access to spot Fuji from the highest point of view, the boat where you can spot the mountain from the middle of Kawaguchi Lake.

As a first timer, I honestly thought that Fujiyama is not that big. Not when I straight seeing a big amusement park, gotemba premium outlet, school of music, and other things popped up in an unexpected way.

The most unique is the school of music for me which I forgot the name of it ( ps; I tried to search the school names on the internet, but I don’t thing its the right one). They have this kind of statue, the design of it was kinda unique, it seems like a musical note if i’m not mistaken.

Lot’s of children went there, they look pretty happy after they finished their class. So its true that music really brings you another joyful moment for your life. I think this city is suitable enough for kids to have their holiday, if you expect suitable enough because the city provide with this kind of amusement park, then I guess it’s kinda wrong.

You may think its a simple one but not when this playground and the ice cream shop is built right in front of the lake, feels like you are free when you can look into the nature as much as you want. I personally feel comfort enough.

Previously, I mention about the 2 main spot (the highest point & middle lake view), this clip explain what can the highest point can really see the wondrous Mt.Fuji. It was really high, I am not going to lie, for the person who’s having an Acrophobia (like me), can honestly tell this is actually a nightmare, but like I said before, it is only once in a lifetime so I won’t waste this opportunity.

Thankfully, I got this hot red bean mochi with me, and it taste amazing, I surely agree when Japan do makes all of this mochi with great ingredients. Too much information, almost everyday I ate mochi and they have an unique form and taste.

If I can say having this trip is such an ‘honor’, I never thought I slowly fulfilled the list from my bucket-list, I feel glorious at that time. I may once said not going to visit Japan in this short time, but it turns out the opposite one. I feel so thankful enough, especially coming straight to Fujiyama just to see the magnificent Mount Fuji, I suddenly feel warm when I’m at the highest view. This is what I honestly need after all this time, aside from the hectic and noisy places, I enjoy the nature one.

Last one, I definitely understand not all of people may have the same frequency with me when it comes to recharging yourself from this busy life. I don’t feel any kind of wrong statement, though travelling do really gave me a new point of view.

Aside from what social media only framing the happiness and the delightful moments of it, I have to say that there’s a lot of unexpected things you probably won’t face it but you have to.

Since then, I learn to put lots of affection and support for what I really love. I visit this city, I have a new insight, I collect a new experience, I feel inspired enough from this memory to then put it into the beautiful words.
