Captain C
After two great nights in Osaka, I took the shinkansen back to Tokyo for the last three nights of my trip. This stretch would include some great parks and music shops, more good food, and a baseball game!
On the Shinkansen near Mt. FujiApril 2, 2019
One of the reasons to take the shinkansen is that its route passes near Mt. Fuji, Japan’s most iconic and venerated mountain. On both trips, I made sure to reserve a window seat on the Mt. Fuji side of the train. On the way to Kyoto, it was partially obscured by clouds, but on the way back, it was a perfect day.
