35. Hiking Mt. Fuji and Exploring Japan
2024/02/03
Hiking Mt. Fuji was one of the best hiking experiences we've had! This hike was intense in how steep it was, but my lack of preparation definitely slowed me down. Listen to how I was able to catch up with Jess and push thorough muscle cramps at 10,000ft elevation. Mt. Fuji was just a one day experience of our 12 day trip in Japan. Jess and I chat about the rest of our trip and how amazing it was to visit Japan.
