Places that I have drinks & meals (webpage link): restaurants (May/June 2023)
Palace Hotel Tokyo (Japan)
Remarks (May 2023):
Same as previous trips to Japan, I stayed in Palace Hotel Tokyo
to attend Mitchy's concerts at 三郷市.
Ubuya Hotel at 河口湖 (Mt Fuji Japan)
Remarks (May 2023):
I chose this hotel because it has private onsen 温泉 inside the
suite with full view of Mt Fuji.
The hotel restaurants have many private dining rooms with high privacy.
Palace Hotel Tokyo (Japan)
Remarks (June 2023):
After 5 days stay at 河口湖, I went back to Tokyo to attend
Mitchy's concert at 八王子.
西湖コウモリ穴 Bat Cave (Mt Fuji, Japan)
Remarks (May 2023):
I visited 西湖コウモリ穴 (bat cave), 富岳風穴 (wind cave) and 鳴沢氷穴 (ice
cave).
I like all 3 of them. Ubuya hotel reserved full day private car for me,
so very convenient.
The 'bat cave' is most adventurous, certain parts inside the cave is
very very low in height, I like the mysterious feel inside.
The 'wind cave' is very easy to walk inside, can see lava stone and ice
in various shape.
The 'ice cave' does have many blocks of ice inside! I wore a light
jacket and did not feel cold at all. This cave is steeper to walk down
with wet surface (from cave water).
富岳風穴 Wind Cave (Mt Fuji, Japan)
鳴沢氷穴 Ice Cave (Mt Fuji, Japan)
北口本宮冨士浅間神社 - 河口湖 (Mt Fuji, Japan)
Remarks (May 2023):
This tree is called 'husband & wife tree' because the two are so
close to each other.
忍野八海 (Mt Fuji, Japan)
西湖いやしの里根場 (Mt Fuji, Japan)
Sugi Bee honey shop 河口湖 (Mt Fuji, Japan)
Remarks (May 2023):
The sale person told me that these are the top best quality
honey.
18900 JPY (135 USD) for 2 bottles of honey, does surprise me a bit.
But worth a try.
西湖 (Mt Fuji, Japan)
本栖湖 (Mt Fuji, Japan)
Remarks (June 2023):
Nice surprise to see full view of Mt Fuji in a small village
near 本栖湖 (not tourist area).
Imperial Palace East Gardens (Tokyo, Japan)
楠木正成像 (Tokyo, Japan)
Remarks (June 2023):
This statue is in the garden in front of Palace Hotel Tokyo, the
one that I stay in.
