I was so excited to climb Mt Fuji and could not do it with my husband. I am sure he will be complaining. So, I decided to sign up by myself at the MWR tour, a night climb just to watch the sunrise in the summit.
But first I like you to watch this video clip. It was really funny. I made video as well for my own climb.
Sunday at 3:20AM, I wake up and finished for my last packing. Brian took me to Fleet Recreation Center at 4:45 and then said goodbye to him and the kids. We boarded to bus after few minutes I got there. I'd met few ladies there that climbing up by themselves as well. I met Jane, Ingrid and Sonya. At 5:07, we were finally off. I sit next to Sonya at the bus and were talking for a bit and then tried to get some sleep at least for the 3 hour-ride of the bus.
First, we stop by at Ashigara Parking Area where we were taking a leak and bought few things needed for the trip. Then another stop at the Shrine. This Shrine has the trail to go up to Mt Fuji but I heard, it took a day or maybe more to climb up at the 5th station. When we got there, they are preparing for the fire festival on August 26. This is one of the big festival in Japan where lots of people flocking from different corner in Japan and some tourist as well. Just to see a mile of fire lit started from the shrine and dunno the exact road they are using but I know it is started at the shrine
