It was hot with a temperature over 30 C and a big clear sky. At the top, the temperature dropped drastically. I felt the crisp silent air as I sat and watched the sky changing colors until the sun appeared. it was so bright at first sight.
There must have been hundreds of people, mostly Japanese, climbing together at different points during the journey of about 6 hours.
The most amazing sight was not the scenery but seeing young parents bringing their children with them on the hike.
Japanese always impresses me with their love of nature. Seeing all the children walking up the highest mountain in Japan with their parents, I know how the sacred mindset is passed on.
What you do with your kids will stay in their lives forever. The same goes with what you say to them.
I am not a parent and I don't think I'll ever be in this life. But as I was watching all these children climbing part of the mountain with great perseverance, I can't help but imagine:
If I have a child in my next life, I will most definitely take him or her to the top of Fuji san, just to say hi.
