Tokyo 2013 (Day 3 and 4)

For the 3rd day, we went on a tour to Lake kawaguchi.
To get there, we took the Keio highway bus from Shinjuku to kawaguchiko. From Kawaguchiko, we bought the day pass for the loop bus that goes around lake kawaguchi.

Our first destination upon reaching Kawaguchi is to head to Chureito Pagoda. To get to the Pagoda, we had to take a train to Shimo-Yoshida and walk from there.

It was about 15 minutes walk away from the train station.

Scary flight of stairs up to the Pagoda

View of Mount Fuji from the Pagoda

The walk up the stairs was alittle too much for my mum so only my dad and I managed to get up. The view was magnificant. It would have been better if the cherry blossoms in this already bloomed. A view with Mount Fuji, Chureito Pagoda and Sakuras would have been really awesome. We were really blessed with good weather that we could see Mount Fuji as my relatives were not able to see it when they went there.

This was at around 11am. After we took the train and returned to kawaguchi station, the clouds came and were no could no longer see mount fuji anymore. The places that I planned to visit around lake kawaguchi were best to view mount fuji and sakuras but since we could no longer see mount fuji, we went to do some shopping and lunch around the area. I bought the blueberry cheesecake flavour kit kat from that area. It can also be found at the airport.

For the 4th day, we headed to Disneysea. That was the coldest day of the trip that came with rain and strong winds :X It was also the wrong time to head to disneysea as it was their spring break and everyone was there! The last time I was there, there was no crowd at all. We had to queue 4 hours for a ride :(

Look at the crowd!

The night parade

 We left after the night parade and had dinner at the shopping mall at Maihama station. We randomly walked into a restaurant and we were in for a surprise! The food was really good :D

 It was a cold and tiring day. Ending of with a good dinner felt really heart warming :)
