After a seven year hiatus I have made my fourth trip to Japan.

I arrived a couple of days before the start of my Japan Lean Experience, with a plan to do some sightseeing.

On previous trips I had admired Mt Fuji from a distance so made the trip on Saturday

Being April the highest you can go is to the Fifth Station which was a balmy minus two!

A little patience is required as there are many other travellers and waiting for the clouds to roll away to snap the prizes pics of the summit

This was a great trip and I plan to return one day to make the ascent to the very top in the summer months
