First-time Hiking Experience at Mount Fuji's Fifth Station

Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan, is a popular destination for tourists, with the Fifth Station often serving as the starting point for many hikers. On clear days, the snow-capped summit is visible, and the air is refreshingly cool and crisp. The Fifth Station features numerous shops and snack stalls where hikers can rest and refuel. I tried the Mount Fuji-exclusive chocolate and hot tea, which felt particularly memorable. Standing here, you can enjoy breathtaking mountain views and distant lakes, creating an incredibly uplifting experience. This is an excellent starting point to immerse yourself in Japan's natural beauty and hiking culture.
