Japan ~ day 1 @ Friday, November 05, 2010

Been waiting for this for quite sometimes…
It is my dream to travel to this country called Japan. At least 2 to 3 years to save pocket money to do so.
Guess what? It’s an incentive trip organized by a company that I attached. We sold off the most expensive semi D and Bungalows in 3 months…Which means, the company hitting the goddamn target in marketing department.
Well, it’s still under finance crisis in Malaysia, but doesn’t really seems it exist for these rich family. How can they purchase a house close to RM 3 million in 3 hours?

Anyway, back to my trip hehe~
Day 1, after I arrived at Narita airport, Japan, tour guide named ‘Ogawa’ san bring me and colleagues to visit most spectacular mountain in Japan ~ Mountain Fuji.
As what Ogawa told us was that Mountain Fuji 富士山 is the highest mountain is Japan at 3776m about 12,388 ft which is slightly lower than our Mountain Kinabalu (4092m)at Borneo Kundasang .
Furthermore, it’s still a active volcano mount which already ‘sleep’ for about more than 200 years as the last erupted in 1707 to 1708..

Oh yeah, on the way up to this mountain..There is a signature Fuji song when the bus or car passes by one part of the road. Japanese’s technology really amuses me all the time. According to Ogawa-san, radio or a recorder (don’t know what u called it) buried under the road, therefore, when the car pass by, it will turns on by car’s weight (impact), and it’s like ear phone..Outsider not able to hear it..so another car pass by....only that car itself able to listen. Incredible..

Look at that, spectacular right?

I find it holy because I can see the mountain top from far far away.. and I feel like..Gosh the mountain is just there…white snow forever lay on the peak in four seasons. Of course, this mountain has got exceptional symmetrical cone is a well-known symbol of Japan tooo…

Fuji bread, very nice , ppl actually come up here just to purchased this...but, i didnt manage to buy...limited stock =(

I’ve climbed mount KK before, my next target is…..Mount Fuji…heard from those who did both….easier than mount KK, why? Heard that its flat going uphill without staircase…But, in terms of…environment, weather, timing… may cause altitude signal.

Oh well, after the majestic sight and cooling weather up there...we came down to Hakone city for Japanese’s lunch follow by Hakone cruise.

finally, lunch!! ahah typical lunch bento set
People said need to try bento set, ramen, and sashimi,crepe, tong loh siu in Japan..because of the freshness ingredients.
for the matter of fact, I didnt really fancy about it, to me 'not-so-special'.
But, i do like the fish, soba, chawan, tempura, tofu and meishu!
