Birdwatching around Mt. Fuji

 
During our two-day stay at the foot of Mount Fuji, we took our time visiting four drinking holes at the hill side and fifth station. Although the variety and numbers of summer migrants had declined, we still managed to encounter species unseen in Hokkaido, such as the Narcissus Flycatcher and the Blue-and-White Flycatcher. We also observed the Japanese Accentor, endemic to Japan, and the Asian Stubtail, which is extremely difficult to spot except when singing.
