Beloved sister Mariko planned a secret trip around the Izu peninsula with stops in Izunokuni and Numazu finally we went all the way to Shizuoka in search of better weather to finally see Mount Fuji ๐ป getting out of the clouds. we actually had good weather and even sunshine but the mountain was constantly in the clouds so I was very happy to have the lovely cat with us he made up for Fuji. and then on the last day when it was actually my birthday December 3rd Fuji decided to come out of the clouds and I could take nice pictures from the stunning Hotel Nippondaira. so thankful to Mariko to have planned this travel and have taken her time, we spend 4 days and even stayed at the hotel that allowed to keep the cat in the room ๐๐
