hiked mt. fuji on aug 14-15.
started at the fifth station at 4ish.
it had some rain between the 7th and 8th station. we were quite wet
and found a place to rest after we passed the 8th station.
it was 6500 yen per person. (with my dad in 60s and my younger sister.)
so. we rested from 9pm to around 2:30am? and then started to hike
was hiking very slowly as my sister hadnt really slept for 2 nights.
got up to the summit at 8:30 but we didnt go to the highest point as it took another hour. my sister was in no condition to hike further up.
so. after some rest, we got down.

it was a nice hike. tough, but not that tough.

i did top to bottom in grand canyon in one day. it was definitely much more difficult then mt. fuji.

i will go back again to reach the highest point in the future.
