Mt Fuji

Objective: Mt Fuji

Fuji Yoshida
... last erupted in 1707 and covered Tokyo 100km away in ash. I stayed in the Fuji Go-ko or Fuji five lakes region in a place called Fuji Yoshida. I only spent two days here as there wasn't a lot to do in the town itself. Mt Fuji itself kept me waiting as ...

Mount Fuji and Hakone

Fujisan

Foggy Fuji
... Fuji turned out to be quite a disappointment as dense clouds ruined any hope we had of witnessing the great views of Japan's largest mountain. We took a long winded combination of Shinkansen and other private trains all the way from Nagoya back to ...
Fujisan in a day
... walker on his way down, who told me that this morning, he'd seen two walkers, walking down without torchlight. Fuji is a sacred mountain in Japan. It doesn't have any lamps, only the official huts do. And its a long, pretty dangerous ...
Sunrise on the summit of Mount Fuji
... Friendship Hike". There was about 50 people from all over the world, but most of them were living in Japan. Arrived at the 5th station on Mount Fuji at about 3:30pm. This is at 2890 metres. This was where the hike would start. After changing, ...

Mt Fuji
I had originally hoped to climb Mt Fuji. My guide book says it can be year round, but it failed to mention that you had to be an expert to do it in the winter!! Oh well! I actually didn't even get to see the mountain while I was there because ...
Mount Fuji- I can see my hostel from here...
After a very disturbed night, we got up extremely early in order to continue our ascent up Mount Fuji. The schoolgirls (finally!) appeared to be asleep as we could hear none of the embarrassed giggling we'd come to associate with any public appearance ...
Fuji/Tokyo Update

December Update

Gion Matsuri
A short sleep after club Womb and the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, we check out our own local matsuri, the Gion festival of Yoshiwara. It's a relatively small 2-day festival, but it's fun run into so many people we know, to have festival food, and check ...
Notes From Fuji

Mt. Fuji: 8 hrs up, 4 hrs down. 5 minute sunrise.
One of the must-sees we'd planned for our Japan trip was a night hike up Mt. Fuji to watch the sun rise. Being able to watch the sun break through the clouds while on top of the 3700 meter high mountain seemed like a really great idea... until we got ...
A Fujian Adventure
