This morning we got up very early hoping to see sunrise and also because we had more than 10 hours of partially difficult trail paired with 1000 m ascend and descend on our plan. Weather had changed, thus sunrise was covered by clouds. During putting down the tent, rain started to fall and was with us through the whole day. Fighting through brush-pines and bamboo-grass we climbed Mt. Oputateshike-Yama. After a difficult and rocky ascent we made progress to the mountain hut Biei Fuji Hinan-goya (Goya = hut) which we finally reached after 12 hours. Our feets were soaked, but joy was great.
