Japan, day 4

Today we were to leave Tokyo.  It had been fun but it was time to explore other places.  Mommy went to pick up the rental car and thanks to Google Map she managed to get back to the hotel (not without drama though) to get us.  Driving in Tokyo city was not the easiest but we managed.  Our next destination:  the Suntory Brewery in Musashino.  It took a bit longer than we had expected but we got there at the end.

The tour was very interesting, even for us kids.

 And we got to do some tasting at the end.   We liked the Suntory apple juice quite a lot, and we even tried green tea!

Not too sure about the beer though.

There are always props for a photo opportunity in Japan and we took advantage of them of course.

After the tour we found a quick ramen shop to have some lunch and continued our journey towards Mount Fuji.  Our next hotel was at Lake Kawaguchiko.  And sure enough the view from the lake and our room was breathtaking!

We didn't know what to do - explore the cute Japanese rooms and furniture first - or use the hot tub and enjoy the view?

In no time we jumped into the onset pool.

We also got to dress in Japanese costumes for dinner.

Look at the spread for dinner!  It took us 2 hours to eat everything.

Someone enjoyed her dessert.

When we got back to our room the beds were made - it was very exciting to sleep on tatami mats for the first time!

Beautiful view of the lake at night, according to Mommy and Daddy, who drank wine in the hot tub while we were sleeping.   What a special place!
