Perhaps it was a national holiday today because pretty much every shop I passed was closed, the roads were not busy but they were steep at times.
I didn't cover much distance today as the steep climbs slowed me down and also when I reached Yakanaka Lake I stopped for the view of Mt. Fuji; but when I mean "view" I mean lack of it because it was heavily overcast and certainly spoilt the iconic view of Japan. No matter! as I decided to camp on the lake shore for the evening in the hopes that tomorrow's early morning sun will shine through to reveal the highest peak of Japan.
There wasn't all that much excitement today however I did sweat a lot exerting myself excessively but this is due to not cycling for for a couple of months, after I climb Mount Fuji I am sure I'll be back at peak performance.
Unusual shape for a coke can.
