Japanese alpinist YUICHIRO MIURA reached the summit of Mt. Fuji not in spite of his health conditions, but because of them.⁠ ⁠ The alpinist was supported by his loved ones as they ascended from the 5th station lodge on Tuesday. During much of the climb, the 90-year-old had to be towed in his wheelchair due to leg discomfort. ⁠ ⁠ Along with his 54-year-old son, they spent a night each at the 7th and 9th stations of the mountain. ⁠ ⁠ Miura and his friends and family eventually reached the peak at around 7:20 a.m. local time on Thursday. His accomplishment was marked by joy at the stunning view and the support he received. ⁠ ⁠ Miura was also greeted at the top of the mountain by 40 students from Clark Memorial International High School, where he serves as the honorary principal. ⁠ ⁠ “It made me realize that he’s admired by so many people,” said an 18-year-old student.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ✍️Comment “email” to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ #news #moun...
