| Around the
end of July, we climb Mt Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan.
Though it's very exhausting and hard work, many students join this event. |
| We have a lot of fun climbing Fuji, but it's actually hard work too. At a height of 3,776 meters, Fuji is the highest peak in Japan, and the temperature at the top is 6.1 degrees centigrade around the end of July. In addition, the wind usually blows hard even in summer, so it feels much colder than it actually is. The air is thinner too. The air pressure is only 650hPa or so even on a clear day. So we need to train ourselves daily before the climb, and have to work in close cooperation during the climb. |
| I have to tell you it's very tough to climb Mt Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. I hope you help and encourage each other so that you all overcome the difficulties. Then the joy of attainment and all the beauty from the top will be yours. You will feel the breath of nature and know that there's something sublime surrounding and protecting you. This experience is sure to remain with you always. |
