Climbing Mt. Fuji -- Goraikō (御来光)

Climbing Mt. Fuji -- Goraikō (御来光)

So, I finally night climbed Mt. Fuji!! I went the first weekend of the climbing season for the Fujinomiya trail (July, 10, 2016). The weather was perfect from sunset to sunrise. It was an unforgettable and wonderful experience! However, if you plan on night hiking you have to be very cautious of the weather as it can be slightly unpredictable. Add on the fact that the temperature drops to around freezing at night and you've got the potential for a scary situation. Night hiking was interesting, but it was definitely tiring as you can tell from the video haha. I swear I know more adjectives than "awesome", but exhaustion got the best of me during those 12+ hours on Mt. Fuji. I only had a 30 minute nap because it was so cold... O_O Anyways I highly recommend hiking to the summit of Mt. Fuji, just make sure to plan ahead and be prepared. Good luck!! ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ More details about Japan on my blog...
