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.

Mt. Fuji 5th Station
The Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station lies at approximately the halfway point of the Yoshida Trail, which leads from Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine at the mountain's base to the summit of Mount Fuji. This is probably the closest point that anyone can get to see the beautiful Mt Fuji & its surrounding landscapes, besides hiking. Mt Fuji is the famous, majestic & symbolic icon of Japan - a must see attraction esp when in Tokyo. As expected, the place is swarmed with bus loads of tourists, very crowded. The souvenir store was like a fish market.
I want to hike Mt. Fuji in 2024.
