Kawaguchi

 After two nights at Hakone, we drove around to the other side of Mt. Fuji and explored the Fuji 5 Lakes area (Fuji Go Ko.) 

 We stopped at a museum and tourist area.

 then visited the Saiko Bat Cave, which has a nature trail by it.

This time Ariel stayed awake for her picnic.

 The Wild Bird Park was very tranquil.

 View from our hotel room along Lake Kawaguchi.  We were the only guests that night.  We enjoyed tag team runs along the lake.  We went to a nearby Indian restaurant, and walked along the lake at night (where we met some monkeys!)

Ariel loves studying her books in the tatami room.
