I am writing new post after pretty long time. This year is just terrible..don't know why there are just too many things to do. Anyway, it's summer here, actually almost the end of summer. I know some people absolutely love summer, specially those who live in the cold countries. But summer in Japan is horrible, simply HORRIBLE! The hot and humid weather of August turns everyone mad -_- Usually I go back home every summer but this year I couldn't due to my graduation thesis and stuffs. So I had decided to enjoy every bit of it! If you can't escape then you embrace! :D
We had a terrible joint seminar where all of us were literally killed with questions for 1hour! So we were super exhausted and me and 3 of my friends went to explore Lake Kawaguchi! It is situated at Yamanashi prefecture, supposed to be 2.5hrs drive from our place but it took us 4hrs lol!
There are 5 lakes, and the tourist buses offer packages where they stop at each lake area for a while. But we went by car and out destination was Lake Kawaguchi. This is the place from where Mount Fuji can be viewed most beautifully. But apparently during that there was too much mist and cloud, so even though we visited in a super sunny day Mount Fuji didn't come out...except for the few seconds we got to see it very lightly. But anyway, the place is really beautiful and very relaxing. I will be posting few of my fav pictures from the day trip! Hope you enjoy! :)

Even though we could not see Mount Fuji that well but it was a very fun trip and an eventful day! We enjoyed the speed boat ride a loooot! And planning to visit the place again during fall! Hope we can see the graceful Fuji that time! :)
