The sign post leads the way to the trailhead. Even walking through the camp you can see signs pointing the way to the trailhead.

After about 40 minute we reached a break in the forest framing Mt. Fuji perfectly.

The spring version of Mt. Fuji might be my favorite version.

The low bamboo allows for a really nice view of Mt. Fuji throughout the hike.

I wish they would fix this place! The wood has been broken since my first climb on this mountain 4 years ago.

We reached the summit in less that 2 hours!

I was in a little pain because my new boots were too big on the hike up so my heel rubbed against the back of the boot.

Still plenty of snow left in the south Alps.

The return trip lets you focus much more on Mt. Fuji. What a nice day!

Overall, it was a great day for a hike! The weather was unusually warm for April so I really wanted to get out into the mountains. My friend was visiting from the United States and is a hiker. She wanted an easy but interesting hike. 竜ヶ岳 is the perfect mountain for beginner hikers.

My friend brought a new pair of KEEN brand hiking boots from the US for me but they turned out to be about a half size to big. Going down the mountain was no problem but climbing up became really painful after about 30 minutes. I'm really glad that I tried out the boots on a short hike. If I had taken them into the south Alps that level of rubbing would have become very dangerous after a few hours of more serious hiking.

The route that we hiked is the same used in the UTMF. I really hope the weather is good for those super trail runners this year! Maybe even one day I can come back and join them on that 178km race.
