Day 9 & 10 - Kawaguchi (Mount Fuji) area

During the two days around Mount Fuji, we explored the area mostly on foot and some in a little old retro bus that took us to various different places. It was mostly rainy but enjoyable.

Iyashi-no-Sato Nemba - a traditional village rebuilt following a land slide using original building techniques and materials. It now includes a museum, galleries, shops and small restaurants run by families that appear to be living in the village.

 
Inside one of the lava caves created during the last Mount Fuji eruption. It was filled with ice and old storage items.
 
Forests - on the slope of Mount Fuji, beautiful and felt like tree spirits from Princess Mononoke could appear under the roots and above the moss.
