5 Saving Energy: As you may know, in March 2011, the big earthquake attacked Japan. Right after that, all of nuclear power plants stooped working because the safety of those power plants are not guaranteed, which means we don t have enough electric power in Japan, especially in the summer and winter. I don t mean you have to follow what I will mention here, but I really appreciate it if you could do some good things for our earth. Please note this again, that these mentions are not orders and I know some of my mentions are a little too strict, so even if you don t follow some of my mentions below, I don t complain, so no worries!

Please keep the temperature around 28 degrees Celsius in the summer, 23 in the winter. 3. Please consider not using very much while sleeping. Climbing Mt. Fuji: This last couple years, way more foreigners visit Mt. Fuji than before. Since climbing Mt. Fuji needs you to prepare and sometimes it s dangerous, I will give you these information here. This is the website which gives you much information about Mt. Fuji. Climbing Mt. Fuji is very hard and sometimes it's dangerous so I highly recommend you to get enough information from the website above, books or other websites in advance. If you don't mind climbing to the top but halfway, it should be okay but still consider an altitude sickness, weather and temperature since it's easy to rain and very cold there!
