I spent 2 days climbing Japan’s tallest mountain, Mount Fuji, via the famous Yoshida Trail.
Starting from Shinjuku, I travelled to the 5th Station before hiking through dense fog and spending the night in a mountain hut. At 1:57 AM, I continued toward the 3,776 m summit, hoping to catch the sunrise before reaching Kengamine Peak, the highest point in Japan.
