A glimpse of Mt Fuji as we flew by on the bullet train.  Japanese officials just announced that Mt Fuji could soon become a UNESCO World heritage site. It makes perfect sense to me as throughout the centuries Japanese have written about it, painted it, and more than a few people have died trying to climb the 12, 355 foot giant (highest mountain in Japan) that is often loving referred to as "Fuji-san".  The mountain is almost always covered in clouds so we considered ourselves incredibly lucky to have timed our bullet train schedule with a brief moment of clearing on what was otherwise a somewhat cloudy day.
