Fujisan

After Kyoto, we left for Fuji to climb the 3,776m mountain on the Fujinomiya trail. It was an unforgettable experience, one we never plan to repeat!

We started at station 5 (2400m) and hiked for 2 1/2 hours to the 8th station for a night's sleep in a cabin, the most expensive, dirtiest place we had ever slept but well worth the experience! The next morning we woke at 2:30 and continued to the top by sunrise around 4:30. We then continued to walk around the crater unsure if we were still on Earth in some places.

We made it to the bottom after a slippery way down exhausted and ready for a proper meal!
