Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi

The Fuji Sengen Shrine - traditional starting point for the full climb up Mt. Fuji. Located in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi.

The side of the Fuji Sengen Shrine.

Some masks at the entrance to the shrine.

The frozen dragon fountain for washing/purifying your hands.

One of the 5 lakes. Maybe Saiko? More like a pond.

Wintery, snowy Shiraito Falls.

Me and Shiraito.

And Again.

Blurry waterful pictures follow.

The stream leading away from the waterfall.

I'd already seen Shiraito falls and Mt. Fuji, of course, but as Marisa's boyfriend was visiting we thought it'd be fun to go again. What happened was totally crazy, but you'll have to wait for me to get Marisa's videos to explain that. As it is, just enjoy the shots of some of the Fuji 5 Lakes, Mt. Fuji, and a wintery (it was snowing so my camera couldn't focus) Shiraito Falls. There's a movie of the falls in the movies section.
