Mount Yotei isn’t called the “Mount Fuji of Hokkaido” for nothing. 🗻✨ Between starting late at 10:00 AM, navigating zero visibility, and fighting through the flu, this climb was a battle 😅. But the payout? Over 6,000 feet of untouched, creamy Japow and an unforgettable view out over the Sea of Japan. Total time was around 6 hours, including a minor 2-hour “scenic detour” (aka a massive boot-pack back to the car 🤘🏼). Worth every single step, especially with a hot onsen and a steaming bowl of potato ramen waiting at the finish line! 🍜♨️ #Japan #MtYotei #Skiing #Hokkaido
