Fuji Q Hyland

Today I met up with Ryu and Ayane in Shibuya early in the morning and we headed to Aoyama-icchome where we picked up Ryu's friends and then headed to Fuji Q Hyland. Fuji Q is an amusement park out near Mt. Fuji and has three coasters. It's pretty good, but after growing up with Cedar Point, it's kinda weak in comparison. Anyhow it was about a 2 hour drive from Tokyo and outside of the city Japan is so different. So many mountains and green land. As much as I love Tokyo, it's good to get out of the city sometimes.

Anyhow we got there and rode a lot of the rides. In Japan at least at Fuji Q people applaud at the end of the ride, which felt a little strange to me, but whatever. We weren't able to ride all the rides because there was a thunder storm that never came to the park and they closed down many of the rides. The whole park closed around 6 or 7 which seemed kinda early to me. The location of the place is pretty cool cause you have a view of Mt. Fuji in the background and the rest of the place is surrounded by mountains.
