Coins inserted into cracks in a wooden torii gate at the summit of Mount Fuji, Japan.
Fuji isn’t one of the toughest climbs I’ve ever attempted – but as you near the summit the path gets steeper and more slippery.
It makes the final ascent an unexpected challenge.
But, as you near the top, you’ll be heartened to see evidence of other climbers, who inserted coins into wooden torii gates for good luck.
If you’re struggling to complete the climb, these trinkets left by travellers who made it to the summit will give you the resolve to push on.
