It was very exciting to see Mt. Fuji, which I've known about since losing lots of quarters playing Pole Position in 1980s arcades, in person. Similarly to Pole Position, the journey was as much of the experience as the destination. We took a subway, an above ground train, the shinkansen (bullet train), a bus, and hiked in one very busy but memorable day.
