## Caption

They don’t call Mount Yotei the “Mount Fuji of Hokkaido” by accident. 🗻✨

A 10:00 AM start, zero visibility patches, and battling the flu made this one earned 😅. But dropping into 6,000+ feet of untouched, creamy Japow with views stretching all the way to the Sea of Japan? Unreal.

6 hours total—which included our optional 2-hour “scenic detour” (aka an absolute grind of a boot-pack back to the rig 🤘🏼). Downed a hot onsen bath and a bowl of potato ramen immediately after to reset 🍜♨️
