mountaineering

Mt. Fuji is known as "Mt. Sei" and "Mt. Fuji", and the phrase "Mt. Fuji is the hero who climbs to the top of Mt. Fuji" has an irreplaceable importance in the minds of the people of Mt. Fuji.

At 3,776 meters high, Mt. Fuji is the highest peak in mud bombing, and it is a dormant active volcano that straddles Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures. Because the mountain is high, the climate is cold, the snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all the year round, and it looks like a beautiful and huge hibiscus flower blooming at the peak under the background of the green mountains and green shade from afar, so it is often called "Hibiscus Peak";

The best time to climb is July and August, when 300,000 people visit the mountain every year, and during this time, the houses in the mountains are also open to provide food and accommodation for tourists. Outside of the hiking season, most of the shops are closed, so you may need to bring your own tent. One of the great pleasures of buying a gold steel rod at the bottom of the mountain and having a commemorative stamp shop at each level of the mountain (home) is a place to collect seals full of Mt. Fuji.

In fact, when he saw Mt. Fuji on the train on his school trip, Hayashi had already made up his mind to climb it and take a look. This time, the friend she met also happened to say that she wanted to go hiking with her companions, so they made an appointment.

They made an appointment to meet at the bus station in Shinjuku.

After coming to the station, Lin soon saw his fellow mountaineer, a black and straight girl.

Saito Kaede, she is a veteran that Lin met when he was mountaineering, with beautiful hair and glasses, she looks very elegant, and she is actually a girl with a hot-blooded mountaineering adventure soul. It's amazing to listen to her, and sometimes it feels like Mio is around. β‘ 

"Hey, maple sauce~!, long time no see," Lin waved his hand and stepped forward and said.

"Ahh Kaede saw Lin and waved his hand happily and shouted, there was more than one person behind her.

"Foreigners?!" said the girls behind Kaede in surprise.

"No, it's a half-blood. I have lived in the mud bomb for many years, and I am a friend I met when I was hiking. Kaede introduced to his companions.

"It turns out that Sister Feng knows such a powerful person. The girls couldn't help but sigh.

Blonde flowing short hair, combining the advantages of people from Europe and Asia, a very sunny and handsome and delicate face, slightly whiter skin than Asians, and a tall figure like a model, such a forest can attract people's attention anywhere. Now Lin Zheng smiled and looked at the girls behind Kaede.

"Hello. The girls hurriedly greeted each other.

Sato Kaede smiled and introduced her companions to Hayashi.

Flaxen-colored fluffy slightly curly short hair with a full collar, some weak and cute girl Aoi Yukimura, Aoi-chan.

Black short double hairy tail,Very energetic,Aoi's childhood friend,Kurakami Hinata who is very expert in mountaineering,Hinata-chan。

Long wavy brown hair, cute, and a very healing voice, a very cute junior high school girl, Qingyu Xinxia.

There is also a short-haired girl who likes to take pictures of mountains and rivers and is relatively taciturn, and Honoka Kurosaki, who is also a junior high school student.

"Hello, just call me Lin. All of them are Kaede's juniors, it's very cute," Lin said with a hearty smile.

"What a handsome man!" Aoi whispered as she pulled Xinxia.

"Well, the blonde hair is beautiful. Xinxia nodded and said.

"Hello. Kurosaki, who was usually a little cold, nodded.

"Babble, cute or something. What grade is Senior Hayashi in?" Hinata said embarrassedly.

"I just graduated from high school this year and am really passionate about traveling. Please advise, everyone. Lin said with a hearty smile.

"Please advise me, if Senior Lin travels, will he really go abroad?" asked the lovely Xinxia.

"Well, this time after going up Mt. Fuji, I'm going to go to China, then North Korea, India, Thailand...... In short, all the places worth going to in Asia will be visited. ”

"That's amazing! Sure enough, foreign people like to travel around the world after graduation?"

"Well, it's more than mud bombardment, most people think so, after all, it's not so easy to grasp when you're busy after work, take advantage of the time now, go to all the places you want to go, and feel the vastness of this world for yourself, which is also very beneficial to your future life. And don't spit on my nationality. Lin thought for a moment and said.

"It's like an adult. Very handsome!" Xinxia said with a sigh.

"Thank you, Kokonatsu-chan is so cute. Lin said with a hearty smile.

"Lin-senpai!Lin-senpai, where is your home overseas?America?" Hinata asked curiously.

"London, England, my father used to work in the mud bombs, and now he has settled in London. I liked it a lot, so I came back here to read. Lin said.

"Do you live alone?"

"Well, I stayed overnight at a friend's house at first, but after high school, I moved out and lived alone. ”

"That's amazing!" Aoi said with a sigh.

After discovering that Lin was very approachable, they quickly let go of their mood and chatted happily.

"Hey, it's almost time to get on the bus. At this time, Kaede reminded.

"Yes!"

Everyone got on the special bus to Mt. Fuji together, starting from Shinjuku, about two hours of driving to reach the 5th station of Mt. Fuji, all the way around, the car finally got closer and closer to Mt. Fuji, looking at it from afar, Mount Fuji was surrounded by layers of transpiring clouds, set off, faintly revealing the snow-capped peak, under the white summit of the sea of clouds, blue, sunny, dazzling, like a beautiful oil painting.

When the car came to the foot of the mountain, and then passed through a section of winding mountain road, along the winding mountain road, the trees on both sides were very lush, a large area of dense pine and cypress was tall and straight, and the straight birch forest was endless. Colorful flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, butterflies are flying and bees are dancing, and goshawks are circling, and they are full of vitality and intoxication. Everyone looked out the window excitedly, enjoying the joy that nature had given them.

The ecology here is good, there are many natural wildlife, along the way of the forest, from time to time you will see some eye-catching signs, remind people to pay attention to safety, "there will be monkeys here", "there will be black bears here", etc., but also see a lot of "protection of biological diversity" Chinese characters written signs, because there are also many small animals on Mount Fuji, as well as deer, etc., remind people to pay attention, do not harm them.

At the foot of Mt. Fuji, Aokigahara is a natural forest farm with a lava plateau with an altitude of about 920 meters ~ 1,300 meters and an area of about 3,000 hectares. But it is most famous because it is a suicide mecca, known as the "Suicide Forest".

Every autumn, the police will hold an annual search for corpses in the Aokigahara Jukai, which has been done for more than 30 years, and in the first few years, about 20 corpses will be found every year. By '94, the number of corpses collected had suddenly soared to 57, and in '99 it had risen to more than 70. According to statistics, the number of suicides in Aokigahara is second only to the number of suicides at the Golden Gate Bridge in the United States. The police even put up a sign at the entrance of the forest that read, "Cherish your life!" Ordinary people can't get in and out, so that people who want to commit suicide have no room for regret.

For more than 100 years, tens of thousands of people have committed suicide here, making it a terrifying "suicide forest". However, because of the convenient transportation and the high degree of secrecy, many mud bomb people chose to commit suicide here, making Aokigahara also the first of the well-known suicide resorts of mud bombing, and produced many supernatural legends that painted sound and shadow. There is an abundance of magnetite underground, which can cause the compass to malfunction, and it is possible for people to get lost and die.

Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help but feel a chill, but when he saw the people who were happily looking outside, they were still interested in closing the matter. After a while, the blue sky emerged from the sea of trees, and the car finally reached its destination. In front of you, there is a shop selling various climbing equipment, restaurants, barbecues, drinks, snacks, and souvenirs.

Some shops even sell "barreled Mt. Fuji air" in an ingenious way!

The small red post office here is more popular, especially for philatelic enthusiasts. An orange mailbox stands in front of the door, and next to it stand two statues, one of the ancient travelers and the other of the modern tourists, who are traveling the world, right? At the post office, you can buy a postcard with a commemorative stamp on Mt. Fuji for 70 yen, which can be sent anywhere in the world.

On the fifth station, there is a larger figure statue that is more eye-catching and attractive. It was an old man who was bent over, looking ahead, in a mountaineering posture. It is said that this 105-year-old gentleman was not afraid of difficulties and finally climbed Mt. Fuji after "hard work". The erection of this statue will undoubtedly inspire mountaineers forever.

There are many scenic spots on Mt. Fuji, including the Five Lakes in the north, a tourist ranch in the south, a waterfall in the southwest, a natural botanical zoo in its own right, a fantasy travel hall, an insect museum, a natural science hall, a strange stone museum, a Fuji museum, a large science museum, a botanical garden, a wild bird garden, a monkey park, and various sports and amusement venues.

Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, which is famous for its mud bombardment, is a national park with a large volcanic and oceanic landscape that spans the four prefectures of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Yamanashi, and Shizuoka. The national park is made up of Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain in the mud, Hakone surrounded by a triple caldera and a volcanic dammed lake, Lake Ashi, the Izu Peninsula with a complex landscape formed by volcanic eruptions, and the Izu Islands formed by submarine volcanic eruptions. The Fuji Volcano Belt, which stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the north and south of the central part of Honshu, is designated as Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. However, each area in the park is relatively independent, forming a national park that combines distinctive regional characteristics.

In the center of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park stands a bronze statue that is 9.7 meters tall and weighs 30 tons. Its right hand raised to the sky is stretched out horizontally under the threat of mushroom bombs, its left hand is a sign of peace, and its closed eyes are praying for the souls of the dead who died as a result of the atomic bombing. Every year on August 9, in front of the Peace Monument, people come to pay tribute to the 75,000 dead who died in the atomic bombing, as well as a peace memorial ceremony.

If you play slowly, a week may not be enough. Of course, Lin and the others are only here to climb the mountain.
