Japan Trip: Mt. Fuji Hike - Quest to the Summit

Second time in Japan. First time hiking up Mt. Fuji. Some audio is hard to hear because of the winds. Sorry! This was a great hike, but also a bit tougher than expected especially with experiencing high winds, cold temperatures, and rain. I'd say I was already in fairly good shape but also prepared myself physically with exercise months before. There were people of all ages on this hike from young kids to older people. Be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks because buying them at huts while on the trail can get expensive the higher you go. Restroom toilets are also not free, about 200 yen. No one watches if you pay or not, but it's about the honor system so it's expected for you to pay and it helps to maintain the mountain. I initially planned on doing this hike by booking it with a tour group. But found that it was cheaper to plan in on my own. I booked a roundtrip bus from Tokyo (Shinjuku) that travelled directly to the Fuji Subaru 5th Station which is where most people begin their hike. Then on your return trip, be sure choose a time and plan around when you think you'd make it from the summit back to the 5th station. It took me approximately 2.5-3 hours back down.
