Mt.Fuji climbing








I missed a chance to update my blog for July and the half of August because I was away from my PC for nealy 1.5 months and I had been working at a Hotel in Niigata from the mid July. Anyway, I'll do my best to share a couple of stories I had during this Summer.
As you can see the photos, I went climbing in Mt. Fuji, a highest mountain in Japan (3776m). I've been to places which is higher in altitude such as Cusco or Puno in Peru, but climbing in this such high altitude is very much different from just staying there. The higher I climbed up, the less my energy was. Very tough!!!
We are allowed to climb up Mt.Fuji only for a certain period during Summer, and so it is always packed with many many people. When I was there, the way up to the top was almost like a huge tarafic jam. I really love trecking in nature, but this was not my favorite.
Mt. Fuji is not to climb, but to enjoy the view, I guess......
