A bus tour to the Mount Fuji area was conducted. Leaving Shimizu in the early morning, we visited the Shizuoka City Tokaido Hiroshige Museum of Art in the Yui Honjin Park (https://tokaido-hiroshige.jp/en/), the Mizugatsuka Park at the 2nd Way-point of Mount Fuji (https://shizuoka.hellonavi.jp/tourist-attractions/mizugadukapark; https://hellonavi.jp/detail/page/detail/1396), and the Fujisan Jukuu-no-Mori Park in Gotenba (https://jukuu.jp/). Then, we moved to the Rose Terrace Restaurant in Fuji and had three layered Japanese-box lunch (https://www.nasubi-ltd.co.jp/rose/index.php). After that, we visited the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Shrine in Fujinomiya (https://www.japan.travel/en/spot/1306/). The weather was rather cloudy in the morning; however, the clouds cleared away by the time we reached the 2nd Way-point of Mount Fuji. The guests enjoyed every minute of the magnificent scenery of Mount Fuji.
