Introduction

There are hundreds and hundreds of mountains in Japan, so it will be difficult to decide where to climb first. Mr. Kyuya Fukada would make a list of only a hundred mountains that are worth climbing. Reaching the peak of all 100 famous mountains in Japan would be a bucket list item. The latest record for quickly climbing all the mountain peaks is reportedly 48 days.
