Last day at Fuji and she came through. About 7 a.m. and opened curtains to see this. Seems that Fuji has been shrouded with cloud for days before I got there.
Fuji was clear as a bell early morning of last day at Fuji so threw on the yukata and headed for the outdoor hot bath at the hotel. Had it all to myself and the view was immense. Must have spent about 30 minutes enjoying the view before heading off for breakfast on the outdoor terrace where the view was just as good.
Had a long soak in the hotel's outdoor hot bath after climbing a section of Mt. Fuji. God I needed it!!!!
Lovely little bit of woodland before you reach the empty slag.
After almost an hours hike the 6th station comes into view through the increasing cloud cover. I was so glad to see that I was almost there as I was starting to feel the cold.
Fuji was looking pretty clear early that morning so dashed into Kawaguchi-ko station to get the first bus to the 5th station. Turned out to be a bloody great idea.
Great view of Fuji from local bus to Kawaguchi-ko station for first morning bus to the 5th station. Lake Kawaguchi contrasts Fuji perfectly.
Bus to Mt. Fuji 5th station and walked about 1 km to the official start of the climbing route. Now let's get to the 6th station before the clouds and wind pick up.
It was pretty sunny and warm on the way up but had to slip into something warmer coming down due to cloud and wind. SO SO GOOD to just climb one section of the mountain.
