Mt. Fuji
... a map from tourist information, in the mood for walking we walked around one of the bigger lakes at the bottom of Mt Fuji and up towards the mountain itself. We were both surprised that the area was like a little town, we thought we'd be walking on mud tracks but if we weren't on the public footpath we were on the road.

Ridiculous considering we did it in 7 hours over two days! The first day was the toughest, we did 5 hours of climbing after a bus ride to the 5th station (of 8). This is most of the way up Mt Fuji, with 500 vertical metres to go I think. It was a fairly ...
