It was a long day today. We were travelling by bus and only arrived at the hotel in the Fuji National Park late in the evening. So late that we almost missed dinner.
In Kamakura we saw a huge bronze Buddha sitting outdoors. You could even go inside the statue. The next stop was the Hasedera temple. Then we headed to Lake Ashi, where we took a boat trip on a pirate ship.
The final stop was Ōwakudani with its sulphur springs. There they have kuro tamago. These are chicken eggs that are boiled in the hot sulphur water and get a black shell as a result. Eating one of these eggs promises seven extra years of life. The view from up there was breathtaking, but so was the stench of sulphur.
