It's been my hubby's dream to go fishing in Japan! Finally we had chance to go to somewhere in Yamanashi area (around 2 hours from Tokyo by train) on 14th-15th June 2008. We went fishing, had Teppanyaki BBQ, and stayed over night in a lodge there. You know what? We managed to catch 10 fish! Well, actually we managed to catch more than 15 fish but we released some of them since we were not able to eat all the fish in one night nor bring them home. On the night, we cleaned, cut, and BBQ the fish! It was very challenging experience to clean all the 10 fish with my husband. Since the lodge also provided other meats and vegetables for BBQ, we only managed to BBQ and eat 4 fish. For the rest of the fish? We left 6 cleaned fish on that BBQ area, I'm not sure if the officer or the cat would eat those fish.
The day after, we went to Kawaguchi Lake to see.... wild grass?? No! It's not grass! It's Lavender!! But unfortunately the Lavender was still baby and the Mt Fuji was not clearly seen due to thick fog. So, we just took pictures with that whatever-you-see-background since we were already there. Anyway, that was a very refreshing trip! ^_^
