Climbing Fuji

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.
