Japan, Mount Fuji »

I watched the Japan Hour show on ChannelNewsAsia yesterday. Japan Hour is a show that I will not want to miss ever since my wife and I returned from our Hokkaido tour last year. Japan is really an amazing country, full of natural charms, onsens and very fresh and healthy farm produce as my wife and I had experienced first-handed. Yesterday’s show on Japan Hour featured a hike to Mount Fuji. It was really exciting and refreshing to witness how people from diverse provinces, countries, backgrounds and languages converged together as one to embark on an uplifting, though strenuous hike to Mount Fuji, to trek to the summit and witness sunrise from the top.
This group of hikers rest in two accommodations along the way to the top. Finally they set off from the last accommodation at around 9.25pm to commence on their trek towards the summit of Mount Fuji. The weather condition was real hostile, with chilling winds and heavy precipitation. The trek lasted all about 7 to 8 hours before the sun rose and the trekkers were heavily rewarded!
