Road cycling 2:00:00 [3] 40.0 km (3:00 / km)
shoes: Hired/borrowed clunker
An even better day, with no cloud and Fuji-san in full sun, and visible for most of the ride.
First stop was a temple after an 8km uphill drag (will post details later), then a fine viewing point from a park where we had more of Yasuke’s (guide’s wife) wonderful cookies (one each of maple, lemon, tea and chocolate flavours). Then we went to a popular ‘postcard’ viewing point on a bridge across a small river - more popular in spring as the river banks are lined with cherry trees, Fuji-san in the background.
Finally to Lake Yamanakako another good viewing spot. Rather than go around the lake, we took a shortcut back to Kawaguchiko in order to have lunch before our bus/train connection for the next cycling episode tomorrow. On a Shinkansen at present, speeding our way to Maibara.
