Hanging out in Tokyo -- waiting for the highway bus to Mt. Fuji Station.
Mt Fuji 5th Station was crazy busy. Tourist central.
The beginning of the Yoshida trail up Mt. Fuji.
The yellow route is the Yoshida trail that we were going to ascend and descend.
The trail started off incredibly foggy. We weren't sure if we would have good weather but we persevered with good thoughts.
It was bizarre to see so many people hiking up the mountain. Many of them just sitting around, recovering from the strenuous hike up. Mind you, we just started...!
Looking up at the long line of hikers up Mt. Fuji and its many stations (mountain huts)
An opportunity to stand above the clouds!
That is the crazy line up of hikers up Mt. Fuji. Unfortunately it is incredibly slow paced.
