Other Memories I climbed Mt. Fuji in 1986. Physically, I believe it was the most difficult thing I ever did. Seeing the sun come up at the summit was worth all the pain, fatigue, and altitude sickness! I have fond memories of partying all night out on the Honch, walking along the cherry blossoms in the spring, shopping in Yokohama and Tokyo, and many, many train trips all over the country. Yoko was my favorite duty station. If I knew then what I know now, I would have extended.
