I got home last night from a weeklong road trip with Corey through the surrounding prefectures in Japan. I want to put in a plug for the awesome place called Earth Embassy.

Earth Embassy boasts an organic farm with the tempting and delicious Solar Cafe. It’s located at the base of Mt. Fuji, with a wonderful view of the mountain available from the cabbage patch across the road. If you want a place to stay in the Mt. Fuji area, you can stay in the welcoming guest house. Or, you can pitch a tent in their back yard (they also have tents available for rent). Corey and I did the allnighter hike up Mt. Fuji from the 5th station and then came back to pass out in their yard during the day.

It’s going to take a while to get the dust of Mt. Fuji off my body. I’ve taken a shower already and it’s still coming out of my ears and eyes.
