Back in 2010, my dad and I travelled to Japan to climb Mt Fuji. We stayed in Fujinomiya, and climbed via the Fujinomiya trail. The Fujinomiya trail is the shortest but by far the steepest, the Gotemba trail the longest, but most authentic experience. The Subashiri trail is the most picturesque and the Yoshida trail is the most popular and well serviced.
I dug this one out of the archives, gave it an upscaling and replaced the copyrighted music on it with something royalty-free. But this isn’t the original – while doing so I thought I should make a video just on the Mt. Fuji climb.
The reconstruction of the original video, featuring baseball, sumo wrestling, trains, timelapse footage and the Gion Matsuri festival will be coming soon. Subscribe so you don’t miss it!
