Assalamualaikum folks,
Ohayou Gozaimasu
Good morning from Hamamatsu [southwest of Tokyo, about 200km away]. It's located halfway between Tokyo and Osaka (the second biggest city after Tokyo).
Arrived here yesterday evening on Shinkansen - the famous super fast bullet train of Japan. Upon arrival at Hamamatsu station, we were greeted by a pianist playing a beautiful contemporary music on a chic grand piano. Didn't yet realize then that Hamamatsu is home to musical instruments giant Yamaha, Kawai and Roland hence it's known as a city of music. The hotel I'm staying in is shaped like a harmonica!
Here are some photos from yesterday's outings. We went to the Fourth Station on Mount Fuji, checked out more Sakura garden by a lakeside, visited a traditional Japanese village, shopping at Gotemba Factory Outlet and then took a bullet train from Kakegawa Station to Hamamatsu.

| Dreamer. "You may say I am a dreamer. But I am not the only one." |
 |
| Mount Fuji (Fujisan) Gotta dream big. As big as Fujisan. |
 |
| The closest we could get to Mount Fuji. We were at the Fourth Station which is 2020 meter above sea level. Mount Fuji is 3776 meter above sea level. |

| Enroute Fujisan When the coach crossed over a designated spot, a song attributed to Mount Fuji was aired automatically from the road!  |
Praise be to Allah for His generous bounties.
