Comments:

It was raining all the day on the 9th, and all of us got soaked unfortunately. Then we could not see the sunrise in the morning on the 10th, some of our members got high altitude sickness and could not get to the top.

Even though, it was a good experience for all of us, we went to Mt Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan!!!
