The two-day recap

Day 2

We left for Kamakura quite later than we'd planned. Bought the one day free pass to Kamakura Fujisawa. We stopped at Hase Station then headed to Kotokuin Temple. Here there is a huge Buddha Statue. There were quite a lot of japanese students having a school trip, and we managed to take some pictures with some high school students there. Boys, of course lol! Having some pictures together with high school students while we're travelling in Japan is a must for us LOL!




There are lots of delicious food stalls on the way to Kotokuin Temple. The octopus crispy and the macha ice cream that we bought were so delicious :9



After spending an hour or so at Kotokuin Temple, we went to Fujisawa. It was so nice to see Fujisawa again, especially when I saw Enoshima Aquarium again. I was like "Kengo, tadaimaaa..." :D I didn't go to the Aquarium though, I just went to the shop and bought some souvenirs for myself. Unfortunately there was no kurage keitai strap. They only sell it as a bonus if you buy the DVD box set. Thank God I have mine already :D

The we spend some time enjoying the sunset in Enoshima while taking some pictures and eating our onigiri. Then we headed back to Tokyo.




We visited Harajuku because we wanted to meet Reza, our friend who happens to be a smappy too. He's currently studying and working in Tokyo. He took us to shops in Harajuku. There were quite a lot of shops that sold cheap stuff, but I didn't buy anything :D Then we took a loooooong walk to Shibuya, just to find a soba shop. It was very cold that night that we thought it would be a perfect timing to have soba. Then we roamed around Shibuya for a while then bid our farewell to Reza. We're planning to meet again on our last day in Japan.

Day 3

We got up pretty early, checked out from the hostel, had breakfast at Sukiya and dropped our luggage in K's House Tokyo. Then we went to Shinjuku to buy the bus ticket to Kawaguchiko in Fuji. The bus was nice and comfortable,






man!!!! he's so cute!!! ^^

We arrived at around 1 then we bought the tickets to Fuji 5th Station. The view was amazingly wonderful. The sky was totally perfect with some beautiful clouds. We took quite a lot of pictures there. We didn't spend much time at the 5th Station because the last bus left at 3.40 p.m.




We headed back to Kawaguchiko, then said goodbye to hikkie_chan's group because their next destination was Kyoto. I called K's House Fuji to pick us up at the station.

We were so amazed by this hostel, because this is, by far, the best K's House we have ever stayed at. The place is clean and big. The kitchen is so spacious and so are the dining room and the lounge. We were so excited when we entered the lobby, because it was much much much better that Asakusa Smile.

We stayed at room 201. It's a Japanese type room, and it is BIG!!! We have two rooms and our own huge balcony. This is definitely the best room ever! XD

If you're planning to go to Japan, I highly recommend K's House because their hostels are always nice, and the price is reasonable too. For a room and the facilities like this, 2800 yen per night feels so cheap :D

In the evening, we had a short walk nearby. Bought some drinks and food for the evening snacks.
