Ever since I found your blog, I have loved your posts. Now that I realize you are a fellow UCF alum, I love them even more. You two are doing amazing things. Such wisdom. Keep it up!

@Dan: Walking in nature with time and space to process is one of the best ways we’ve found to think about things and gain perspective. I’m sorry to hear of what you’ve been through and hope that you find peace again in your life and relationships.

@Nick: Given how expensive everything else is in Japan, it’s a minor miracle that this trek is free. Hope you enjoy it!

Its been along road and still living in my past with a real great guy, but I think its over. He kept telling me to see the forest from the trees. I have been so caught up in my past, negitive, and the pain I do not know how to let go. I never really thought about the world around me, What has happen can not be changed, But I can change this time now. I used to walk in the nature and would find it peaceful. I am going to take what you said to try and hopefully I can find the peace with in myself. No one deserves this stressful life of my past specially my guy who has more on his shoulders then me. Thank you for this !!! Hopefully my fight will be over and the peace I want in my life begins.

@Lauren: While the top is closed in April, the rest of the mountain should be open for trekking. You can take a bus to the base where the temple is – be sure to add extra time in for visiting. It was one of our favorite temples in Japan. Good luck and enjoy!

This is great! I’ll be visiting in April and I had read that it would be closed but there was no mention of the option of a hike from the base to the 5th station. Very useful, thanks!

@Michael: Give us a shout when you head to Japan, and especially up Mt. Fuji!

@Scott: Mt. Fuji or otherwise, shortcuts and speed perhaps are a sign of the times.

@Dave: Thank you for a very kind compliment. Makes the writing and editing that goes into a piece like this all the more worth it.

I’ll be curious to hear about your time in Japan.

Japan is my favorite country in the world next to the USA! Mt. Fuji is particularly a nice place to visit.
