    Photos from Japan

    There are [5] photos from Japan

    A national symbol of Japan, Mt Fuji stands at 12,389 ft. There's a famous Japanese saying Hikers start their descent at daybreak. Around 300,000 people come to climb one of japans most famous national symbols every year. Views[216] The top of the Mountain has a Temple and Torii gate signaling a successful hike to the climbers. Reaching the summit by sunrise is a key part of the entire excursion. It's described as seeing the sun rise over a sea of clouds. The sunrise from the top of Mt. Fuji is so powerful it is considered a deity and is called Goraiko. Views[537] About 80 meters to the volcano's crater and the sun is just starting to peak up above a dark hiking trail. Views[259] Japanese people start the climb at nightfall to reach the summit for sunrise. Here, you can see the moon rising over the city of Fujiyoshida. Views[351]
