Summer - Tokyo Day 1 - Mt.Fuji, Hakone

I did mention about my japan itinerary earlier... so sad that my flight touch down tokyo around 11.20pm so 1 day was wasted... but the next day I booked a tour on Yokoso Japan tour to Mt.Fuji for YPN 9800 per person ( you can check out their website here... http://www.japantravelinfo.com/top/index.php ) which was the so far the cheapest tour i managed to find...but my luck is kinda rotten since airasia since I couldn't sit the one piece boat at Lake Asahi since weather was foggy and misty therefore the cruise was cancelled. However yokoso japan was extremely professional as they refund back the cruise ticket money back to us and they took us to Hakone Shrine which was nearby to replace the One Piece cruise itinerary... you can check out the pictures i take during my first day at tokyo...
