We didn’t climb mount Fuji, but we did hike to the top of Takaosan, a slightly smaller but also beautiful little mountain in the outskirts of Tokyo!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Japan’s steepest train tracks took us to halfway up the mountain from where we walked all the way to the top.<\/p>\n

The view from halfway up was already amazing.<\/p>\n

the temperature was slowly dropping the higher we got, and even the statues were wearing a winteroutfit!<\/p>\n

The roots of the trees on Takaosan resemble an octopus, so there were these cute \u00a0statues of octopusses everywhere.<\/p>\n

Ofcourse, also on this mountain live the Tengu, a mountain demon from Japanse folkore with a very creepy long nose:\"DSC00775\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Getting higher and higher up the mountain, snow began to appear!<\/p>\n

Afterwards we went for a spectacular Tempura dinner in Shinjuku. It was by far the best tempura I’ve eaten in Japan!!<\/p>\n
