Climbing Mount Fuji
Mountain climbing is available from the beginning of July to August. During this period, approximately 300,000 people climb through the four designated paths on the mountain, and each track is divided into 8 stops, with a bus or car, only accessible to the fifth station. Although mountain climbing is relatively different depending on the path, it takes 6 to 9 hours to climb on average, while going down to 4 to 5 hours. It is worth noting that the Yoshida track is the busiest path for climbers, due to the fact that it contains some facilities, such as huts. The popularity of the Fujinomiya path increases because it is the shortest path, while the Subashiri path is the preferred path for skilled climbers who are natural lovers. The last and longest path (Gotemba) is the path chosen by most climbing professionals.
