Yikes! Today's weather was horrible. We woke up full of energy and headed for the 1st bus that leaves for Kawaguchi station from the Shinjuku bus station. The entire journey took us a good 2hrs!
The moment we reached the Fuji-Q highland, it started to pour! What a wet bucket! It was a distance walking from the bus station to Thomasland. Actually Thomasland is just a small section of the Fuji-Q Amusment park (land) but because our main itinery was to visit thomasland, and most of the rides in Fuji-Q land are meant for adults, we skipped all the rides in Fuji-Q altogether. And thanks to the bad weather, only 3 of the rides were opened in thomasland. Worse of all, we couldn't even catch a glimpse of the Mount Fuji which was supposedly right in front of us IF the weather was good! :(

And too bad due to the weather the train ride to the station on a 'real' thomas train (with Annie & Clarabel in tow) was not opened....
Overall the theme park was big and should be very interesting during Summer...i suppose.
If there is a chance to be back to Tokyo (without the kids or when they are older) , I will probably make a trip to Fuji Q highland for the roller coastr rides.
