Fuji - 3776m
This is the true top of Japan, the highest point of Mt. Fuji: 3776 metres of volcanic rock and ascending zig-zag. We were so close to the summit and the weather was so nice that we almost forgot the exhaustion and the altitude sickness.
Although from a distance Fuji-san has a nearly perfect conical shape, it has a crater on top due to its volcanic origin, and the size of it isn't negligible at all. The trail you can see in the picture actually goes around the border of the crater, whose highest point happened to be on the other side of the spot where we arrived, and it took us about half an hour to reach it.
