Fujisan was magnificent and visible once again this morning, but we just watched from the room. It was a little hazy and the water was not still like yesterday. Richard uploaded a stop action app to record the clouds as they gathered around the summit. It has been wonderful to unwind here and relax into vacation mode. Enjoying the onsen several times a day. Only wish we could stay around for some more beer while lounging around the ryokan lounge in our yukatas and slippers.

One last trip to the onsen to enjoy watching the light change on Fuji then we got dressed and headed for the buffet breakfast at a beautiful table by the window.
We packed our bags and left them at the front desk and walked a short distance to the Itchiku Kubota Art Museum and gardens. Incredibly intricate method of designing, stitching, tie dyeing kimonos (as a canvas) called "Tsujigahana". Couldn't take pictures of any of them however. The architecture of the building and the beautiful gardens were also inspiring.
