Climbing Mount Fuji Japan
Mount Fuji or Fugaku or Fuji-san is an active volcano, the tallest or highest mountain in Japan, at 3776 meters.
My Fuji is a popular pilgrimage site among Japanese and is considered Japan's third sacred mountain.
I plan to climb Mt Fuji up to station eight or the summit to see the Sunrise. Here is the story of my Journey:
-Take the bus from Tokyo to Subaru station five.
-Station five is the last station for climbers to get or buy all the supplies before the climb.
-I arrived around early afternoon and had lunch at station five before I started my climb.
-There are four routes or trails, and Yoshida Trail is the easy one, suitable for everyone. The trail is easy to follow with directions, and many people are also at the same destination, station eight.
-Climbing Mt Fuji is not a race; you should suit your capacity and enjoy the climb. Usually, it takes around 5 to 7 hours to reach the but at station seven.
-There are two huts for rest and sleep before continuing in the early morning to climb to station eight or to reach the peak around 4 am to see the sunrise.
-Unfortunately, I didn't see the sunrise because of the bad weather of the thunderstorm and heavy rain.
It was a great experience and I will do it again in the future, because I love to see the sunrise.
