Life in Tokyo Japan

Mt Fuji

On Thursday we drove to the surrounding areas of Mt Fuji (Fuji-san). Fuji is 3776m high and is the highest point in Japan. We hope to climb Mt fuji in July, but seeing this mountain for real made this idea seem a whole lot different. Mt. Fuji can only be climbed in July and August due to the extreme temperatures at the top (unless you are an experienced climber).

Fuji is supposely the most photographed mt. in the world. This statistic may just be based on the number of cameras owned and keen photographers in japan :)
