Our trip to Japan was focused pretty much in Tokyo and hiking Mount Fuji. We were is summer 2019, just when the hiking Mount Fuji opens to public. Though hiking Mount Fuji is open through our the year for the locals and experienced people, the tourists limit to the hiking season to trek the mountain.
Watching the sun rising above the foamy clouds from the original 8th station at 3,400 meters after a long and hard hike in the darkness of Mount Fuji, was purely magical and blessing! It was like a soothing balm to take and ease your pains away! Mount Fuji is one of Japan’s “Three Holy Mountains” along with Mount Tate and Mount Haku. It is also a Special Place of Scenic Beauty and one of Japan’s Historic Sites. It was added to the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site on June 22, 2013.
