Mount Fuji at its finest

With an altitude of 3776 metres, Mount Fuji is Japan’s highest mountain and an iconic symbol. The first time I sighted this conically shaped mountain from far away, I had again one of those moments where I just shouted of joy.
I spent the next two days cycling around Mount Fuji. Once again, the conditions were just magic. Thanks to the recent snowfall in higher altitudes, it’s peak was now covered with snow. Having the opportunity to view this mountain from different angles is just stunning. I mean, it is THE perfectly shaped mountain. So many times did I slow down just to look at it with great amazement.
I could not resist to visit one of the most popular photo spots for sunset as well as for sunrise. For sunrise, I got up early at 4:30 am. It was one of the coldest nights on my trip and my tent was still frozen.
And yeah what should I say? I don’t have words for this anymore. It was the last natural beauty on my trip that I wanted to see by all means. My gratitude is endless!Read more
