I never imagined I'd one day climb Mount Fuji, the sacred mountain in the hearts of the Japanese. 🗻! It was so cold at the summit! Standing at 3776 meters, looking at the Miraiko light that brings good luck for the whole year and the magnificent crater, I had only one thought in my mind: I really made it!

After enjoying the magnificent sea of ​​clouds and sunrise, we moved a little further and were also able to enjoy the shadow of Mt. Fuji!\(^o^)/

My first time climbing Mount Fuji. I had tried before, but had to give up due to bad weather, so this was a revenge climb. Contrary to the weather forecast, I was able to stand on the summit under a perfect blue sky. The crater viewed from the top felt rugged, and the sea of ​​clouds stretching out beyond gave me a heavenly feeling. It was tough, but I'm glad I climbed it!

In September 25, I went on a day trip to Mt. Gengamine with my family via the Fujinomiya route. I almost died.
