Climbing Mt Fuji

One thing I wanted to do was climb Mt. Fuji before coming to Japan. I had an opportunity to go with some friends I made during my first week or so of being in Japan. We were able to climb the mountain in one day (around 15 hours in total) which made for a memorable experience.

Another thing I wanted to do was get a tattoo. I was able to get this around my second month in Japan with a good friend I met in Japan. We got matching tattoo designs, which is a serpent design with inverted colors. I am also really glad to have done this, as this was on my bucket list of things to do in Japan!
