The second highest peak in Japan, celebrating Karthik's birthday with Hajime, the true Spartan!! Windy and cold at the summit, breathtaking view of Fuji san, a wonderful place to experience autumn firsthand!!

Accessible only by bus, we spent the night at Ashiyasu car park (芦安駐車場) and caught the bus at 5.15 AM. Once in Hirogawara (広河原), we took the trailhead that passes through Shirane Oike (白根御池).
