Japan, extreme special forces tourism

(Lucky version). Today is the day to go to Mount Fuji! →Arriving at Shinjuku Station After coming out of the JR station, you need to cross the road to take the direct elevator to the fourth floor, check your ticket number on the big screen and then sit in front of the screen to wait! After getting on the bus, show your ticket to the staff and they will put your luggage below, then sit down according to the position on the ticket. Next is about a two-hour journey! After getting off the bus, the driver should collect the tickets. We weren't collected when we went, but we were collected when we came back. →Arriving at Kawaguchiko Station Actually, Mount Fuji seems to be divided into several places in Kawaguchi River, we chose here because we wanted to see the fireworks festival at Lake Kawaguchi. I hope next time I have the chance to visit other places. For example, Asama Shrine and Hikawa Timing Shop need to take the subway away from Lake Kawaguchi, but we didn't go because we didn't have enough time. →Lawson After getting off at Kawaguchiko Station, walk to the left for a while and you can see Lawson! There are really a lot of people and it's basically impossible to take good and unpopulated photos.! Be sure to cross the road at the zebra crossing, there will be a button on the telephone poles on both sides of the road, press it when you want to cross the road, and it will turn green after a while, otherwise you might be scolded by the traffic police, and it's also not very safe! →Start walking around the mountain! The area around Kawaguchiko Station is not very large, and it can be finished in one or two hours. There is a honey shop near Lake Kawaguchi, and the ice cream inside is really good and worth a try. I wanted to try the cola cake, but the shop was closed that day. It was raining in the morning, but slowly the sky cleared up, and the visibility of Mount Fuji was also very high, I thought I wouldn't be able to see it this time according to the forecast. We walked around outside and it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, so we went to check in! Then rest for a while and get ready to watch the fireworks festival! Watching the Fireworks Festival At first we went to the main venue park, but later the staff said that we couldn't watch the fireworks there and had to leave the area. So we went to the Kawaguchiko Bridge. The fireworks were really beautiful, I heard that it was cancelled several times due to the weather, but today the weather suddenly cleared up and we saw the super beautiful fireworks, which was really really lucky! But you don't need to go early to get a good spot, maybe because this is not a very grand fireworks display and there are not many people. →chikawa There are many local specialty shops around, which are duty-free, and there may be chiikawa keychains and pendants to go in and see!! There are still many regrets about the trip to Mount Fuji because of time, many places have not been visited, I hope I can come again next time! The restaurants here mostly only accept cash payment, so be sure to bring enough cash, otherwise you can only eat at convenience stores! (Although the convenience store is also super delicious)
