Advantages: Beautiful to photograph is you like scenery Disadvantages: Just like any other mountain if you venture to it
As people who travel will know, the landscape is what they take away as the largest memory of their destination. In Japan that is not really the case. It has been a few years since I visited the land of the rising sun and the Japanese landscape is not high on my list of memories. I travelled there when I was in my teens (which may be too young to really appreciate such a different culture) and I remember the low roof's, the extraordinarily low ceilings ... ...one day though that we made a trip to the mountain known as Fuji.

There is a post office at the station where you can buy a post card and send back home-which can be a great souvenir for friends and family.
