Maybe include altitude in both metres and feet, otherwise 80% of comments will be about that whole discussion.

I had the chance to hike it again the next year and opted out.

There's a saying here that anyone who lives or comes to Japan and doesn't climb Fuji once is a fool, and anyone who climbs it again is also a fool. On that note, I've climbed it multiple times :P First time was 4 hours before a typhoon hit, got to the top and no exaggeration, honestly felt like I was going to be blown off. Stayed there 5mins and then damn near ran down the Yoshida trail back to the 5th station. Second time was perfect, almost 100% clear weather, and it was amazing

Haha I wish I had climbed it the second time. It was crystal clear.

The first time I hiked it, it took us around 14 hours total because of the storm. I almost cried when I saw the noodle shop at the base of the Gotemba trail after almost 6 hours of walking down in scree. My quads were about to fall off my bones.

I didn't have it in me to do that again.
