Mt. Fuji and Kyoto

-Woke up early to watch the sun rise to reveal Mt. Fuji, beautifully covered in snow. After my bath, we took a walk along Lake Kawaguchico in the sun. We took a brief stroll through the Herb House adn the local grocery store, and headed to the train station. This was a day of changing trains many times, in order to get to Kyoto. Along the way, I tried something called "peanut creme." I thought it was peanut butter, but it was gross.

-Once in Kyoto, we stayed at a traditional ryokan guesthouse, in between the city center and the temple/shrine area of Sagano/Arashiyama.
