Climbing Mount Fuji
Mount Fuji located on Honshu is the highest volcano in Japan at 3,776.24 m (12,389 ft), 2nd-highest peak of an island (volcanic) in Asia, and 7th-highest peak of an island in the world. It is a dormant stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707–1708. Mount Fuji lies about 100 kilometers (60 mi) south-west of Tokyo, and can be seen from there on a clear day. Mount Fuji’s exceptionally symmetrical cone, which is snow-capped for about 5 months a year, is commonly used as a symbol of Japan and it is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers.
Best time for climbing Mount Fuji. Although the mountain peak is open to hikers from July 1 to early September, the best time to climb is from the end of July to late August. This is due to the relatively stable weather conditions.
Fuji is typically between 3 and 4 hours. Although descending Mt. Fuji is twice as fast as climbing up, it is also considered by many to be twice as difficult. The trail leading down is made up of loose rock and pebbles and is a hazard for slipping and falling flat on your back or face forward.
There are 4 main trails leading up to the summit of Mt. Fuji, the Yoshida, Fujinomiya, Subashiri and Gotenba trail.
Each trail consists of a 5th station, at which point cars may no longer advance. The largest, most well known 5th station on Mt. Fuji is the Subaru line 5th station (AKA Kawaguchiko 5th station).
