Today you’ll find much less picture, one reason to that is quite simple that there were not so much to see, as today has been a very poor day, very cloudy, and up to the Mount Fuji and all very rainy and windy.<\/p>\n

As planned the group left Tokyo at about 9am, to make the trip to the base of Mount Fuji, which was our first stop after about an hour and half of motor coach. As we got closer and closer to Fuji-San, it became pretty clear that we would not be able to see it well, it was just the wrong day for this excursion. We still could get to the fifth station, which is at about 2300m of altitude a good two third of the total height of Mount Fuji. There it had become very cold with the height and much more windy, there was even still a bit of snow here and there. We could still go for a tour of the souvenirs shops, as well as of a small temple built next to it. By luck I could get a small glimpse through the clouds.<\/p>\n

We then came back to the restaurant for a Japanese lunch, and when we leaved we could see much more of it and made a quick stop for some pictures, the top stayed in the fog, but the bottom became much more visible, and you could just get the idea of the complete size and shape, well last year I had only the top with sun, this time the bottom with rain, I guess it just means I’ll have to comeback to see it complete.<\/p>\n

For the rest of the trip the weather was as much as an issue, we could take the aerial car as planned that would take us to the volcanic active area with the Kuro Tamago, that I went to last year, but the weather being poor we could not see so much of Hakone Park, and it was quite funny at some point going through the clouds and seeing just the two cables on both side of the cabin without anything to keep them in the air. On the top I took part of a quick round trip to the real top where we had those famous black eggs, that are said to give seven more years to live, and it was quite a reward as we all got completely soaked by the trip, with the wind and persistent rain.<\/p>\n

The next stop was Lake Ashi, and a cruise on the lake, that had the same fate as the aerial lake as being high with low clouds visibility was very low, but it still was a nice ride, talking with the other persons of the group. It was then time to get to the Odawara station where we took the Shinkansen back for Tokyo, and that eventually made a stop at Shinagawa where is my hotel so I had nothing to do than get off it to be at my final destination.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is already the last day, that arrived much too quick, I might not do a lot tomorrow, I’ll be planning my way back on Sunday to the airport, getting the N’Ex tickets, and things like that in the morning. And I’ll probably get out for some shopping in the afternoon, to get myself a few things and maybe a few presents before being back at the hotel for one final good night of sleep before the 11hours lengthy trip back to Paris. And then I’ll of course make some kind of conclusion once I’ll be back in France.<\/p>\n

Aujourd’hui vous trouverez bien peu d’images, une raison \u00e0 cela est fort simple, c’est que tout simplement le temps aujourd’hui fut particuli\u00e8rement mauvais, tr\u00e8s nuageux, et aux alentours du Mont Fuji et d’Hakone, tr\u00e8s pluvieux et venteux.<\/p>\n

Comme pr\u00e9vu notre groupe est parti de Tokyo \u00e0 9:00, pour faire le voyage jusqu’au pied du Mont Fuji, qui fut notre premier arr\u00eat apr\u00e8s un peu plus d’une heure et demie de voyage en autocar. Tandis que nous approchions du Fuji-San, il devient assez clair que nous ne pourrions gu\u00e8re bien le voir, c’\u00e9tait tout simplement le plus mauvais jour possible pour cette excursion. Nous avons pu toutefois monter jusqu’\u00e0 la 5\u00e8me station \u00e0 pr\u00e8s de 2300m d’altitude, un gros deux tiers de la taille totale du Mont Fuji. L\u00e0 haut il faisait bien frais, et le vent \u00e9tait bien plus fort qu’en bas, il y avait m\u00eame encore un peu de neige ici o\u00f9 l\u00e0. Nous avons alors fait le tour des quelques boutiques de souvenirs, sans oublier de voir le petit temple pr\u00e9sent l\u00e0-haut. Par chance je pu apercevoir quelques instant le Mont Fuji au travers des nuages.<\/p>\n

Nous sommes ensuite redescendu pour nous rendre au restaurant pour un d\u00e9jeuner Japonais, et lors de notre d\u00e9part suite au repas, il fut enfin possible d’en voir un peu plus du Mont Fuji, et avons pu faire un rapide arr\u00eat pour quelques photos, le haut restant dans les nuages, mais le bas devenu bien visible, et l’on pu avoir une id\u00e9e de sa forme compl\u00e8te, l’an dernier je n’avais vu que le sommet sous le soleil, et cette fois la base sous la pluie, je crois que ca veut dire qu’il faudra que je revienne pour le voir en entier.<\/p>\n

Pour le reste du voyage le temps fut toujours la source du m\u00eame probl\u00e8me. Nous avons pu prendre les cabines de t\u00e9l\u00e9ph\u00e9riques passant au dessus d’Hakone pour nous mener vers les sommet encore actifs avec la sortie naturelle de souffre, et les fameux Kuro Tamago. Au final la travers\u00e9e fut int\u00e9ressante mais on ne put rien voir de la for\u00eat sous nos pied, et parfois seuls des bouts des c\u00e2bles auxquels nous \u00e9tions suspendus \u00e9taient visible, le reste \u00e9tant dans les nuages, rendant la chose presque surr\u00e9aliste. Au sommet j’ai pris part au petit groupe de cinq personnes accompagn\u00e9 de notre guide \u00e0 nous rendre au sommet voir les vapeurs de souffres et les fameux \u0153ufs noirs cens\u00e9 donner sept ans de vie suppl\u00e9mentaires, et ce fut bien une r\u00e9compense car apr\u00e8s ce trajet nous \u00e9tions compl\u00e9tement tremp\u00e9s par le trajet sous un fort vent et une pluie battante.<\/p>\n

L’\u00e9tape suivante de la croisi\u00e8re sur le Lac Ashi subit le m\u00eame sort que notre trajet a\u00e9rien puisque se trouvent en altitude avec des nuages tr\u00e8s bas, la visibilit\u00e9 \u00e9tait extr\u00eamement limit\u00e9e, mais cela fut tout de m\u00eame une travers\u00e9e agr\u00e9able \u00e0 discuter avec les autres membres du groupe. Nous avons ensuite pris le bus pour Odawara afin de rejoindre Tokyo par Shinkansen, qui fit au final un arr\u00eat \u00e0 Shinagawa soit directement \u00e0 la station la plus proche de mon h\u00f4tel, m’\u00e9vitant tout trajet suppl\u00e9mentaire.<\/p>\n

Demain sera d\u00e9j\u00e0 le dernier jour, qui arrive beaucoup trop vite \u00e0 mon go\u00fbt, et je ne risque pas de faire grand chose qui vaille le co\u00fbt d’\u00eatre raconter, puisqu’il me faudra planifier mon trajet retour vers Narita dimanche matin, obtenir les tickets N’Ex, et ce genre de choses dans le matin. L’apr\u00e8s midi sera sans doute consacr\u00e9 ) faire un peu de shopping pour moi m\u00eame et peut \u00eatre trouver un ou deux souvenirs de plus \u00e0 ramener, avant de revenir \u00e0 l’h\u00f4tel pour une derni\u00e8re bonne nuit de sommeil avant le long trajet de 11h environ pour Paris. Apr\u00e8s quoi je ferai bien s\u00fbr une sorte de conclusion \u00e0 mon retour en France.<\/p>\n
