The 2nd Supporter Exchange Meeting - Mt. Fuji Climbing Tour - was held

As a supporter networking event, seven supporters and six staff members climbed Mount Fuji over two days, on Friday, July 22nd and Saturday, July 23rd.

Since we were in Japan, we thought we might as well climb the highest mountain in Japan! So we organized a Mount Fuji climbing tour and recruited participants.

<Day 1: Friday, July 22nd>

We gathered at the Shinjuku office at 11am and finally departed for Mount Fuji!

16:00 Arrive at the 5th station and start climbing

Let's start climbing! We're heading for the summit now!

At 7pm we arrived at the 7th station mountain hut, had dinner and took a nap before departure, then resumed climbing towards the summit at around 10pm!

We took a break as we headed towards the summit. The stars were so beautiful.

It was a tough road... the higher we went the colder and windier it got.

<Day 2: July 23rd (Sat)>

The next morning at 4am, about 12 hours after starting, we arrived at the summit of Mt. Fuji! Seeing the sunrise gave us energy.

Although everyone was very tired, the joy and sense of accomplishment was evident on their faces.

12:00 PM: Take a bath at the Mt. Fuji lava hot spring "Sensui"

After resting from the climb, we headed off to Tokyo!

5:00 PM We arrived safely in Shinjuku and disbanded, concluding our 2-day, 1-night Mt. Fuji climbing tour.

It was a very difficult journey and there were some tough moments, but it was also filled with a sense of accomplishment, excitement and fun.

We heard from supporters that they had fun and want to climb again next year!

We would like to continue holding social gatherings and other events so that participants can have experiences that are only possible in Japan.

We are also planning the 3rd supporter networking event next time.
