Fuji Report

      Mount Fuji is the tallest mountain in Japan, yet because of its moderately southern area and bare top, it is not the primary spot in the nation or even on Honshu to see harvest time hues. On Mount Fuji's northern side, trees and shrubs grow up to a height of around 2500 meters or until around the fifth Station. Hues as a rule begin showing up in ahead of schedule October. At this point, the hues have drop into the Fuji Five Lake area at the fountain of liquid magma's northern base (at a height of around 1000 meters), yet the season there was still at an early stage today. In somewhat higher heights, be that as it may, the season was going full bore.

     I began the day early, touching base at the trailhead to Mount Mitsutoge at 5am. By dawn, in the blink of an eye before 6am, I remained close to the highest point of the 1785 meter tall mountain and delighted in strange scenes of Mount Fuji ascending out of an ocean of mists. The pre-winter hues around the top of Mount Mitsutoge were close to their top, and the rising sun further improved their red tones.

     Mount Mitsutoge is prevalently gotten to through one of three climbing trails. One begins at Mitsutoge Station along the Fujikyu Railway (around 3-4 hours tough), one begins at the upper station of the Kachi Ropeway (around 3 hours tough), while I took the lofty hour long rising from a trailhead west of the top which must be gotten to via auto (aside from on weekends outside of winter when there are transports from Kawaguchiko Station).
