Japan - Chasing Mount Fuji in Autumn!

Japan has been mysterious to me in many ways. I have heard of extreme stories about Japan and I always wondered what would life in Japan be like. Few of my friends had visited Japan and described the country as "out of the world", "different from any other" and "truly a must experience". These descriptions left me wondering if Japan has to be a long trip and if I could truly manage and afford it. Autumn in Japan It was my hubby, Sai's birthday in December and we planned way in advance to visit Japan to celebrate his birthday. We planned an 9 Days and 8 Nights trip to Tokyo, Hakone and Kyoto. We thought, if we like it, we could just re-visit it. December is typically winters in Japan so it was time for us to pack our jackets, winter clothing along with other travel essentials. We had pre-booked the JR Rail Pass which could be activated upon landing in Tokyo. We were booked on Vietnam airlines with a stop over at Ho Chi Minh City Airport for 3hr
