My Last Day in Japan...The Picture I Didn't Take

Even thought I made a trip to Fujinomiya, a town near Mt. Fuji, during my last month in Japan, that week was so rainy I couldn't actually see anything. It was really disappointing and I really hope I can go back sometime on a sightseeing trip to Japan when the weather is better!

The day before I left, I sold my iPhone, which was also my camera. So all the pictures I took at the airport were on my friend's iPad. I was settled into the plane ride from Hiroshima to Narita, and looked out the window every once in a while in case I got a chance to see Mt. Fuji, which I hear you can sometimes see from an airplane.

There were some clouds down below, and I didn't even know if I was sitting on the correct side of the airplane to see anything. I looked intently for a while, then read a bit and listened to music. After about ten minutes I looked out the window again, and saw...Well, not this picture because I got it off of Google images, but something a lot like this.



There were clouds all around just like this picture, but in between the clouds was this suspiciously triangle-shaped mountain. I was very close to flagging down a flight attendant, but got too embarrassed. I spent the next five minutes glued to the window watching it slowly getting left behind until we went by a huge cloud and it got covered up. All the while thinking "OMG I didn't miss it!"

And that is the only time I saw Mt. Fuji during my stay in Japan.
