]]> Comment on Mt. Fuji Climbing Season! by Ian Larner http://insidejapanblog.com/2011/05/26/mt-fuji-climbing-season/#comment-1951 Wed, 08 May 2013 04:53:31 +0000 http://insidejapanblog.com/?p=1762#comment-1951 I so want to be back there! The experience of trecking up Mt Fuji was the high point(!) of my first trip to Japan, after hiking for days around the prefecture. The communal overnight in the mountain hut part way up Mt Fuji was a deeply-immersive Japanese experience, in a world detached from the rest. To see the twinkling stars above, and the street light stars below, and then in the early morning the clouds rising up toward us. More than memorable; an experience engraved into me. My daughte now wants to climb Mt Fuji, so I may well be back up there again! (any excuse :-)

There is a nice hiking trail running from the Gohon-matsu Park to the Lighthouse. This a prime bird watching area in the spring and fall as it is a popular stop off point for birds migrating from the Asian continent to the Japanese archipeligo. Mihonoseki is a very picturesque fishing village. In front of the shrine is a nice shop selling grilled squid. Very delicious and the lady running it is very friendly. Small points of contention, the water at Sasago is crystal clear and some great snorkeling can be had, but the beach was dirty because the locals don’t clean it, and they only seemed interested in making some easy coin off of whoever shows up to use the beach. Also, the birds over the lighthouse are black kites, not hawks. Cheers, plenty of great places to visit in both Tottori and Shimane.
