Morning was the same as yesterday, got up early, ate breakfast, and came back to the room. But this time, we had to pack up our things and check out by 10am. We paid for the hotel (it was bout 48,000yen) and the English guy drove us down the mountain and to the station. As we were leaving the hotel, the ladies that worked there went outside to bid us farewell (there were about 3 of them) and they waved to us as we left in the car. Being me, I waved back enthusiastically and could just imagine that past the beautiful smiles, they were thinking “Yeah, she’s American.”
On our way back to the station, we were able to see the views from on top of the mountain since today was a sunny, clear day. I kept trying to snap pictures of the big lake … which is a crater lake and Japan’s deepest lake
BUT I failed because there were so many trees :p
We got dropped off, had to wait about 2 hours before our train came … in the meantime we called my mom and got to talk to her ^_^ We also picked up some gifts … no, can’t tell you what they are :p But they’re pretty nifty!
Then we got on our train and rode 3 hours back to Tokyo where we just kind of lounged about for the rest of the evening
