Seeing the sunrise from the top of Mt. Fuji is differently something I will never forget. It was all a once an wow nature is amazing, I love the world and at the same time terrifying. Suddenly I seemed very small, and the world just seemed like it was too much. But Fuji is differently something I will never forget.
The hike up is over tons of huge rocks, and if you want to bypass the TONS of group tourists its best to go over the really big ones and skip ahead in the lines. This resulted in me bagging every part of my body everywhere. Also, by the time you reach the top your legs are killing you. But again, WORTH IT!
Hiking down was also difficult. It was more like sliding than actually walking. The ash and gravel from the mountain results in sliding and dust/ash blowing everywhere. Needless to say by the end of the hike I looked like I had taken a dusty bath. Everything felt gross, and my legs where gone.
But again, BEST thing every and something I think everybody should do once. You don't even have to do Fuji, just climb a HUGE mountain at night and watch the sunrise. Best thing you will ever do.
