From the maple corridor, I drove to Lake Yamanakako and stopped at Yuyake no Nagisa Park. The trees were at their peak nine days ago, and today, most of the leaves were on the ground instead. I got a very clear view of Mount Fuji from the pavilion, unblocked by leaves. For my last stop, I drove up to Panorama Dai, an observatory about ten minutes drive from Yuyake no Nagisa Park, to get my final dose of Mount Fuji. The view today was much better than the last trip, as the sky was blue and cloudless. From hikers starting at the observatory to elderly men on their Harley Davidson motorcycles, everyone had a camera to capture the beautiful sight of Mount Fuji and Lake Yamanakako.
