Five Views of Mount Fuji

Actually, not all of these shots show Mount Fuji, but they were all taken when my Dad and I took a day trip there on June 16th during my recent trip to Japan. We weren't up for a trip all the way to the top, but we did hike part of the rustic Yoshidaguchi Trail. Since it's not really climbing season until July, we saw all of 2 people on the trail.

(For a more traditional and artistic view of the mountain, try this one.)
