Travel & Learn: Vocabulary from Real-Life Adventures (Charley – Fujinomiya)
Fujinomiya - Trip Article
Last January 13, we went to Fujinomiya to enjoy a nice view of Mt. Fuji with my husband’s brother and some friends from church.
We stopped by Fuji Station, hoping to take a picture of the Shinkansen with Mt. Fuji in the background. However, since we couldn’t find the best spot to take the photo and there were obstructions blocking the view, we gave up and continued our journey to Fujinomiya.
We were supposed to eat the famous yakisoba in Fujinomiya. However, since we took too long at Fuji Station, we had to eat there instead.
Overall, the trip was nice, and our friend took our picture inside the train with Mt. Fuji in the background. It turned out pretty well! We want to go back again with our other family members soon.
Here are some pictures I’d like to share.
Check Your Understanding!
