I started writing with the intention of completing one episode or two episodes, but it didn't progress as I expected and it was divided into four episodes.
Today is the time to complete it!
Then continue from the last time.
Leave the summit of Mt. Fuji and Mt. Fuji Meteorological Observatory. The sun was tilting and the wind was coming out.
At the top, I took some pictures, ate a boiled egg, and then went down the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, I was expecting a certain outlook, so I was a little disappointed.
The view is the meteorological station building and the crater of Mt. Fuji over the cliff.
The view impression level will be lower than the view of the new Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.
The Mt. Fuji Radar, which continued to monitor typhoons approaching Japan, was said to have been in operation until 1999 in the large building on the left of the photo.
It has been removed now, but above the building was a 9-meter-diameter radar dome to protect the radar.
It seems that the skeleton of such a dome was assembled on the ground and carried by a helicopter, just before the thrust limit. In order to make up for the insufficient thrust, the helicopter door etc. are removed, and if there is still no wind, the thrust will be insufficient.
A dome that managed to handle the extreme work of such a limit.
I went after seeing such work, Yujiro Ishihara's work, "Fuji Sancho", so I was immersed in the world of delusional romance while looking at the base of the dome.
I remember hearing from Mt. Fuji Radar information and the evening weather forecast a long time ago.
The summit of Mt. Fuji, where the wind of 90 meters blows during a storm.
It's an unimaginable world.
And the building and dome that can withstand it can only be said to be amazing.
But what kind of world is a wind speed of 90 meters?
330 km / h, almost F1 top speed,
It far exceeds the takeoff speed of large jets.
It would have been a horror for the observer who was spending time in the building while the wind was blowing.
The radar dome can now be seen at the Mt. Fuji Radar Dome Hall in Fujiyoshida City.
I thought I would get off on a different route, but I decided to go down on the same Yoshida route as I climbed because I would walk on different roads for one-way climbing and descending.
After all, there are many inns, so you can rest assured that you can see the sunrise from anywhere.
Furthermore, the transportation is convenient when you go down the mountain.
I decided to go down after going around the bowl.
West mountain range seen from the top of Mt. Fuji, Southern Alps
The wind was getting stronger and stronger at the top of the mountain.
When the field of view opens and there is nothing to prevent the wind from side to side, it seems that the wind will be received and the standing will finally be blown away.
Slowly spread your legs wide and walk while stepping on.
A little down from the summit, the west sky opened and I could see the mountains of the Southern Alps.
Illuminated by Google Earth, the jagged mountain on the far right is Mt. Warusawa at an altitude of 3141m, the sixth highest mountain in Japan.
No matter how much you hold the camera in a strong wind, it vibrates in the wind.
In such a case, the image stabilization built into the camera seems to be useful.
It doesn't come with the camera I'm using.
Mountain huts seen from near the summit
Take the Yoshida route and the Surun route joint downhill branch and go down the mountain.
The mountain slope on this side is also windy, so it seems impossible to stay in the field tonight.
Well, can I stay at the inn without a reservation?
Well, it will be okay.
How far should the problem go down?
I have food, warm clothes, and a sleeping bag, so my luggage is heavy and I feel light.
But I should have brought another 500cc of water.
The clouds in the sky are gradually clearing, and the sunset seems to be visible from the top of the mountain.
Should I have been a little more sticky at the top of the mountain?
But the first road, going down at night is dangerous.
As you slowly descend the mountain path, the shadow of Mt. Fuji gradually spreads from the ground to the horizon and then to the sky above the horizon.
After a while, the figure of Mt. Fuji itself was projected in the eastern sky.
"Shadow Fuji", the shadow of Mt. Fuji seen from Mt. Fuji, has appeared!
A stunning shadow Fuji has appeared!
The tip of that shadow is the Diamond Fuji point.
A rainbow appears on the north side of Kage Fuji!
A rainbow appeared on the north side of Kage Fuji.
It was worth it just to see this scenery
How about the inn?
The inn closest to the mountaintop is full.
How about the next inn?
Go down further.
Tomoe-so, the building on the far left, where you will stay
It seems that there is a vacancy at the 8th station Tomoe-so.
It is prepaid and the room without meals is 5800 yen, so I will pay the money immediately.
The inn was decided easily.
At dinner, a lot of people are eating curry at the inn.
I'm reluctant, so I decided to eat the retort curry I brought with me outside.
Add 3 boiled eggs and eat with bread.
But where is the spoon I should have brought?
My hands get dirty and it looks like something ...
The temperature is 7 degrees Celsius, and the wind blows, and I eat cold curry silently.
At times like this, I want to eat something warm.
Let's procure a mobile stove this time.
After a while after eating, my body temperature rose and my power came up.
I think I can do another job.
Clouds remain sparsely in the sky.
Isn't it sunny?
3400m above sea level, night view from Tomoe-so
The night view of Kawaguchiko Town is in the foreground, and the night view of Tokyo is shining orange in the back on the right.
The light that has passed through the long-distance atmosphere is dyed in the color of the sunset.
When the air is clear, you can clearly see the Sky Tree 100 kilometers away.
Even if you come to the 8th station of Mt. Fuji, the light pollution caused by the city light is stronger than you think.
It seems that it is not so suitable for seeing the starry sky.
Because the air was clear, I could see the stars pretty clearly near the zenith.
The night clouds seen in the African savanna, where there is almost no light pollution, look like a dark nebula, but here the clouds are a brilliant reflector version.
That's how strong the city light is, which is illuminated toward the sky.
A starry sky that was clear for a moment
After a while, clouds came from Cassiopeia to Cygnus.
I attached a camera to the Sky Memo T I brought and took a picture.
As soon as I finished taking this picture, clouds formed and covered most of the sky.
Furthermore, the moon has risen from the eastern sky.
Abandon further shooting,
I will rest and sleep for tomorrow.
A cup of hot tea I drank at the inn before going to bed.
It permeated the cold body at once.
What makes tea so delicious?
The above photo is
The Milky Way emerged from Cassiopeia (bottom) to Cygnus (top).
The lower part is covered with light from the city lights.
And to the bed of Tomoe-so.
It's a small space, but enough to sleep.
This crowded situation was warm and pleasant, and as soon as I lay down on the bed, my memory was cut off.
When I noticed, I woke up with the sound prepared by the people who saw the sunrise at the summit.
I thought it would be okay to come from here, and I had another sleep until the sunrise.
Worship the sunrise in the morning in the mountains.
Most of the climbers who stayed at Tomoe-so got up after 1 o'clock and went out to worship the sunrise at the summit.
There is a strong wind outside, and you can't take pictures without a windbreak.
The wind is so strong that the tripod is useless.
The caretaker will take a rest until after 4 o'clock and worship the sunrise from the front of the inn.
You can dodge the wind well here.
But if it's not the sunrise from the top, isn't it called "Miraikou"? That's not the case.
The sun came out, Lake Yamanaka in the foreground on the left
Climbers looking at the sunrise
Around this time, the shadow Fuji that I saw yesterday may have appeared in the west sky on the other side of the mountain.
Yin and yang, after all the sun of the sun is better.
After worshiping the sunrise, have breakfast.
Bread and 2 boiled eggs each time.
I decided to go down the mountain after drinking tea.
A cup of tea is 100 yen.
A panoramic view that changes its expression every moment, the morning light changes to the daylight.
I intend to walk slowly, but the speed increases as my body warms up.
It runs down at a stretch, and the altitude goes down steadily.
Looking back, the moon was floating beyond the mountain surface illuminated by the sunlight.
I felt good, forgot that it was not a mountain climbing shoe, and ran down to the 5th station at a stretch, and when I noticed, the shoes were considerably damaged.
The soles of my shoes have come off, probably because I walked too hard.
I arrived at No. 5 after 7 o'clock.
It's quick compared to climbing.
Arriving at the 5th station, I ate the retort curry and the rest of the bread again.
Even so, it's a diet with little change.
Anything is fine for a short period of time.
Looking back at the top of Mt. Fuji, clouds were flowing at a ridiculous speed.
It seems that there were quite a few climbers who were trying to climb Mt. Fuji on that day, and a group who gave up climbing due to strong winds.
I decided to return by train.
First, get off at Lake Kawaguchiko by bus, and then take Fuji Kyuko.
One of the reasons is that the nostalgic Keio, old 5000 series is still used.
This is the vehicle I used to ride on the Keio Line when I was a student.
It was a vehicle that loved the unique vibration and sound of the hanging motor.
I was a little wondering what kind of life the vehicle was living.
After retiring from Keio, Keio old 5000 series active in Fuji Kyuko
Mt. Fuji seen from the train window of Fujikyu
I looked back at the train window and looked at Mt. Fuji.
The feeling of seeing Mt. Fuji has changed significantly compared to before climbing.
Climbed mountain trails, mountain peaks, craters, inns, winds, shadow Fuji, etc.
Every time I see Mt. Fuji from now on, I will remember climbing Mt. Fuji.

thank you for your company.
