Mt-Fuji: everything you've ever wanted to know
 

is in the latest online delivery of Nipponia

A Japanese friend once said to me "there are two kinds of fools: those who have never climbed Fuji-San, and those who have climbed it more than once". I'm in the first category ;)

Florence, this makes me want to go read the back issue of Nipponia on Kyoto (I am probably more likely to go there again than I am to climb Fuji). Thank you for introducing us to this publication.

For those of you who are not familiar w/that publication, you can access the back issues on the website. They have had good issues on Osaka, Kyoto, castles in Japan, hot springs, etc. Great topics of widespread interest.

great site. domo arigato, florence-san.

anybody know if there is still baseball in mid-october in tokyo?

Thanks for the site Florence!

emd, domo for the info. i don't get into tokyo till the evening of 10/18, so it seems i will miss the season. maybe the giants might be in the playoffs, and maybe i can get a tkt.
