Second Day in Fujikawaguchiko

 << Previous Post: Rent Nissan Car From Tokyo Haneda & Stay in Fujikawaguchiko <<

To our disappointment, we woke up with a continuous heavy downpour on our second day in Fujikawaguchiko. Majority of our pre-planned activities are mostly outdoor and with this kind of adverse weather, I have to admit that it did dampen my spirit.   

#1: A continuous heavy downpour from the morning till night 

THE BIG & WELCIA FUJIYOSHIDA

As we have nowhere to go, we decided to go the supermarket and pharmacy not far away from our accommodation to kill some time. The Big Fujiyoshida, a supermarket opens as early as 7am and for Welcia, it's a 24-hours drug store. We love The Big Fujiyoshida so much that we return day and night for their bento, sushi and ready-to-go food.

THE PARK

From Fujiyoshida where we stayed, we drove to the Lake Yamanaka for cafe hopping and we decided to settle down at The Park. There is a parking area right next to the cafe but it's pretty limited. And by the time we arrived at the cafe, the queue was significantly long (like we expected). But because we have nothing to do (as it's still raining cats and dogs), we decided to leave our name and waited inside the car until it's our turn. Waited for more than half hour, finally we had our table. For your information, each guest is required to order at least 1 meal.

#5: Their signature - soft and fluffy pancakes 

#6: You can catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji if the weather is perfect

GOTEMBA PREMIUM OUTLET
My husband and I been to Gotemba Premium Outlet before, but not for my mom. Here, there are more than 200 stores offering luxury, sports and international brands. Because this place is a large indoor shopping mall, so we thought that we can avoid the rain. Unfortunately, there are certain area of the outlet are not fully covered and we found it's inconvenient to get from one block to another block, especially when we're travelling with a baby.

#8: Some items are exclusively in Gotemba Premium Outlet only 

To sum up our second day in Fujikawaguchiko, all we did was visiting supermarkets, drug store, having dessert and coffees at the cafe and not forgetting, shopping till we drop at Daiso. Daiso in Japan is getting more affordable as the rate we exchanged prior to our trip was ¥100 = RM2.85.
