hiking from Ochudo to Okuniwa (1)

Yesterday Mrs. Y and I joined a one-day bus tour
and enjoyed hiking at the 5th station of Mt. Fuji.

The 5th station is a starting point to climbing Mt. Fuji.
There were a lot of climbers gathering there.

Mt. Fuji is a sacred mountain and an object of worship
for me. So I will never go further than the 5th station,
the general starting point to the top of Mt. Fuji.

I enjoyed walking from Ochudo to Okuniwa.

I could have enjoyed beautiful views of Five lakes of Mt. Fuji
South Alps, Yatsugatake and Chichibu mountain district,
if there had been no clouds.

But I had a wonderful time looking up at the top of Mt. Fuji,
blue skies, white clouds and green trees.
