What a beautiful day!
Yesterday I had an urge to go to Lake Kawaguchiko
and see Mt. Fuji in early autumn.
I had breakfast in a hurry, did washing and hurried
to the nearest railway station.
I arrived at Kawaguchiko Station at about half past 11:00am.

When I visited Kawaguchiko last time ( this May),
I could not see Mt. Fuji on the shore of Lake Kawaguchiko.
Yesterday, I made it!
Standing on the shore of the lake, I could see Mt. Fuji!
Majestic, glorious and beautiful Mt. Fuji!
Blue skies, blue Mt. Fuji and the blue lake!
I felt so happy, walking along the shore alone.

I saw a young lady reading a book under a big tree
along the shore.
I walked on and on, looking at Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko.

I sat by the shore and had my onigiri-lunch.
After lunch I wanted to sail around the lake.
I chartered a small motorboat for 5000 yen.
An experienced old sailor sailed around the lake for me.
How fast the boat sails!
How exciting!
How beautiful Mt. Fuji looks!
How clear Lake Kawaguchiko is!
Sailing by motorboat was just like enjoying
a roller coaster in a theme park.

When I went back to Kawaguchiko Station,
I was told that trains on Chuo Line were not running
from 大月 to 高尾 because of some accident.
So I decided to go back to Tokyo in an express bus for Shinjuku.
Anyway I had an unexpectedly happy day.
I walked 19222 steps in a day.
