Mount fuji

Tokyo is an amazing city but it is true that after leaving for a few weekends there. I need some fresh air. Some time in the nature to relax.

The most iconic nature spot close to Tokyo is of course Mt Fuji. The hike’s trails close in September, which I did not know. So we had to find another way to go to the volcano. And what is a better thing than climbing My Fuji ? Is looking at it.

We, therefore, woke up at 5am a Sunday morning, which I have done in weeks. Took 3 trains down the country trails and finally arrived to the foot of My Fuji. A few steps’ climd led us to the beautiful Chureito Pagoda, a fabulous temple.

It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been too in Japan. And although the trip was long it was completely worth it.

Plus it was a great relaxing place to take a breath out of the city.
