I had a couple days off while I was in Japan the past few weeks, so I used one to go climb Mt. Fuji. Here are a couple pics I downsized to post on the web.

At the Bottom (It's peaking though the clouds)




A few taken during the climb up.








At the top.




And a few from the climb back down.

 

hey! cool!! did you have to spend a night up there or did you do it all in one day?

 

wb back...super bangin nice pics!

 

Wow those are some great views and pics....

 

Great pic's Nate. See ya got your walking stick. Do they stamp it at the different rest stops?

 

wow those are some unbelievable pics! looks like you had a great time. i hope some day i get to go there...

 

That amusement park in the first pic must be Fuji Q Highlands park? One of the best amusement parks in Japan.

 

The walking stick was indeed stamped at all of the stations with a hot iron, except for the bottom station which was closed for rain. I did it in one day because I didn't have the time for a two day trek, but I would have loved to stay up there to see the sunrise. Im going back to Japan for another 10 days on the 17th, I'm not shure what I'm going to do next time.

 

wow! that must've been an awesome experience. how much time did it take? do most people do it in one day?

 

wow, was it cold up there?
