We went to Kawaguchiko to see Mt Fuji but it spent two days hiding behind clouds, peeking out for only moments each day. I started thinking of it as a sumo wrestler with the stealth of a ninja.

The slow train took us to Matsumoto, my old stomping grounds.

Hiking in the Japanese Alps at Kamikochi, we encountered several snow monkeys.
