Mt. Fuji 5th StationOur first destination is Mt. Fuji, the highest and most iconic mountain in Japan. Our goal is to reach the highest accessible point on the mountain. From late spring to late fall, we typically visit the 5th Station, located at an elevation of 2,300 meters above sea level, where you can enjoy magnificent views of Mt. Fuji.
From late November to mid-May, however, the 5th Station is closed due to snow. In that case, we visit one of the following alternative spots: the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center, or the 1st, 2nd, or 4th Station.
