So we eventually got into Tokyo via bullet train from Nagoya.

On the way to the hostel in Asakusa, Tokyo, we saw what we later realized was the Asahi building. there’s a giant golden sperm on it.

We also saw this awesome Samurai Statue.

During the day this long thig of shops is teaming with tourists all buying souveiners in by the giant nearby temple. At night, it is dead. In the distance is one lone woman with an umbrella.

Brandon finally met up with us after he had continued on the bike trip. This photo was taken shortly after he informed us that he woke up in a ditch seeing stars and a broken bike which was now hanging on a fence. He has no idea what happened. All he knows is he was riding down a hill in the rain, and then all his shit was in the road and he was in fact in a ditch. He was a day away from his Tokyo destination. He trained in to see us.

That night, we ate at one of the many restaurants which we had to put our shoes in a cupboard. there’s a piece of wood where, if you pull it out of the cupboard’s latch, it locks it. Mine was in the middle. My shoes barely fit.

We next left for the Fuj (Fuge, phooge, Fuje). Which is what we called Mount Fuji… Which is also Fujiyama. We didn’t take this train though. We bused. We took a bus with barely anyone else on it, due to the fact that either tourist don’t care about Mount Fuji, or else the season was just getting rainy… which it was… the town we went to was Kowaguchiko. It was an awesome little town.

Our hotel in Kowaguchiko had a view of a lake and Mt. Fuji in the distance. Although you couldn’t see it, because it was ingulfed in a large cloud the whole time.

Our hotel was Traditional Japanese. And we also had robes and bought beers made from the snow on Mount Fuji and drank them naked in the onsen at the hotel, which also overlooked the lake and the mountain.

Onsen means, hottub, or hot springs, or bath, mostly I think it means bath.

The next day we took another bus up the the fifth station on Mt. Fuji. This little diet Whistler was the only place tourists went to on the mountain.
