Fuji climbing has some trails. In our own experience, we chose “ FUJINOMIYA TRAIL “ . So we went until “ FUJINOMIYA TRAIL 5TH STATION “ by bus first. The bus departure areas are from Shinfuji station, Mishima station and Fujimiya station. Fare is around USD 20-30 depending on the kinds of tickets.
We arrived at Trail 5th around 9pm, then we started to climb Mt. FUJI. Whole night time, we walked and climbed with head lights then we arrived near the peak around 5 am. We witnessed the sunrise from shining and the cloud formations on top. Looks so near in the sky. It was an amazing experience that time.
If you want to climb but feel worried about how, you can join with assigned tour guides together with some tourists. You feel safe and protected by joining a group of climbers.
Scenery from Mt.Fuji is so breathtaking like you are an inches away in the clouds. You can remove all your stress and do meditation. Despite of tiredness and exhaustion these are all eased because it worth the wait when you reached the top.
