49. Reclimbing Mt. Fuji

Hello everyone! It seems like it's been forever since i've update. /checks calender.... Why yes indeed, it has been forever. And over 5k views since the last update too....wow.

First up, I'd like to give all of you a huge THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! for this little gem:

Your continued support is very, very much appreciated. The several nominations i got in other categories are quite surprising too, so thanks a lot for all your votes!

Now then, onto the update. A long time ago i did This, and with all the shiny new HD flora i've been wanting to redo it (and really, what better way to celebrate a nature trixie than with more nature?). So here we go.

(~reminder: Please Click For Full Resolution)

Once again we start climbing the slopes of Mt. Fuji. This time the town we start at is a hamlet on the slopes.

01. We arrive there by train. There's a small bus stop in the roundabout.

02. The little town is made up of timberframe homes. (In Japan? Just go with it...)

03. The south side of town. All of 2 blocks from the north side of town.

04. It's said the locals built up just to see over the abundant vegetation.

05. Uphill from the town is a small shrine.

07. Above the town lies an old palace.

08. And we end up at the trailhead, where there's a bus stop identical to where we started. Although it seems the seasons mysteriously shifted.

14. ...and we climb up into pure evergreens...

15. ...until eventually reaching the first fall snow.

16. Eventually we get to the top, where another stone marker awaits us.
