[生活在日本的主題曲]。

We've come out near Lake Kawaguchi to climb a nearby mountain peak at the height of fall.

我們在川口湖附近出來，在秋高氣爽的時候爬上附近的一座山峰。

Lake Kawaguchi is one of 5 main lakes around Mt Fuji, famous for its' fall colors and views.

河口湖是富士山周圍5個主要湖泊之一，以其秋色和景色而聞名。

Look at this!

We waited for the best weather, and we sure got it.

我們等待著最好的天氣，而我們確實得到了它。

There it is, our peak right in front of us, huh?

We were super excited to hike, but had no idea how awesome it really was going to be.

It's gonna be off this way. Oh, yeah.

它將會偏離這個方向。哦，是的。

In researching for this trip, we found an ideal parking lot on the other side of the mountain,

在為這次旅行進行研究時，我們在山的另一邊發現了一個理想的停車場。

and from there we would hike a 10k loop, up to the main ridge facing Mt Fuji,

從那裡，我們將徒步走10公里的環路，直到面對富士山的主山脊。

climbing to Kurodake, the tallest peak along the ridge,

攀登到山脊上最高的山峰--黑嶽。

and then swinging back around to a peak that promised 360 degree views of the whole area.

然後又搖身一變，來到一個承諾可以360度欣賞整個地區的山頂。

Look at that! Oh yes.

看看這個!哦，是的。

Oh dude, look at that helicopter. A helicopter up here. What?!

哦，夥計，看那架直升機。一架直升飛機在這裡。什麼？

That would be a cool place to take off and then you go and see Mt Fuji on the other side of this mountain.

那將是一個很酷的地方，可以起飛，然後你去看看這座山的另一邊的富士山。

Here we are. We made it to the parking lot.

我們到了。我們到了停車場。

Yes! It is a beautiful [day].

There it is.

就在那裡。

Alright, so we are parked at the top at that red place.

好吧，那麼我們就停在頂部那個紅色的地方。

And so the peak we can go right to the top and then we come back down the left side.

所以高峰期我們可以直接到頂，然後再從左邊回來。

And down that red trail. Right?

並沿著那條紅色的小路走下去。對嗎？

Yeah.

是的。

Well we've hit our trail head here and we're about to take off and it's chilly.

好了，我們已經到了這裡的小路頭，我們即將起飛，天氣很冷。

It's only a couple degrees out so, we're ready for this though.

現在只有幾度的氣溫，所以，我們已經準備好了。

I think we are at the middle peak. Yeah.

我想我們正處於中間的高峰期。是的。

Look at that path, it just beckons! It says "Common, let's go!"

看看那條路，它只是在向你招手！它說："普通人，我們走吧。它說："共同的，我們走吧！"

Well, we've started and is it ever just perfect, gorgeous.

好了，我們已經開始了，它永遠是完美的，華麗的。

And the toilet. That is important.

三十？所以我認為我們在3點前回到車上不會有任何問題，或者即使我們慢慢來，4點也不會有問題。

Rock and roll.

岩石和滾動。

4:00. But then we'd be home by 6:00.

4:00.但隨後我們會在6點前回家。

So we had an awesome lunch here and I got to fly the drone and now we are going to Shatagadake. Did I get it?

Trying to figure out. Yeah, that's where we are going.

Yeah really. Oh yeah, well seeing that I know exactly how to say it.

是的，真的。哦，是的，看到這一點我就知道該怎麼說了。

Oh, that's how.

哦，是這樣的。

Our decision to push on and do the rest of the hike turned out to be a great one,

我們決定繼續前進，完成其餘的徒步旅行，結果是一個偉大的決定。

for even though we thought we had seen the greatest views, the best was yet to come.

因為儘管我們認為我們已經看到了最偉大的景色，但最好的還在後面。

The path there would not be easy though, especially after already hiking so much with all the weight in my backpack.

但那裡的路並不容易，尤其是在我的揹包裡裝了這麼多東西之後，已經徒步走了這麼久。

Doesn't help that I slightly overpacked.

我的行李稍微有點多，這也沒有什麼幫助。

I have enough food for probably 3 days in here.

我這裡的食物大概夠吃3天。
