I enjoyed following your climb and commentary from the comfort of my chair. I climbed Fuji san at night back in 1996 from the Fujinomiya trail and luckily we had good weather although the temperature severely dropped at night. The view of the sunrise and the five lakes from the summit was awesome and have been lodged deep into my brain for all these years. I'm in my mid 60s now and my mountain climbing days are behind me now, but the spirit of Fuji san will remain in my heart forever. I hope that you can return to Japan again and experience climbing Mt.Fuji during better weather someday. Cheers and happy new year.🗻
nice video! question, Do you hike down the same trail you came up? I saw some videos where they mention a different descending trail to avoid congestion. if so is it rocky going down? im climbing in july and was wondering about the difficulty on the rocky parts.
Thanks! The Yoshida Trail does have a different decent trail that avoids the technical rocky sections. The descent is wide double track, but it is a bit loose in some places.
