Took visiting high-school friend to hike Mt Fuji last night. Could only get last bus out of shinjuku to subaru line 5th station. Could see lighting flashes and dark clouds over fujisan which got us worried. But after a brief spell, the rain cleared and it was fantastic weather. Sky was littered with stars and luckily there was no moon around. We did the ascend, sunrise, crater walk and a hasty hustle descent back to 5th station in 2 hours to catch the return bus! Great experience. Loved fujisan (see the pics). I’ll try other trails next season. 😅🏃♂️💪🏾
