Let’s climb Mt.Fuji !
There are four routes to climb Mt. Fuji. Fujinomiya route, Gotemba route, and Subashiri route in Shizuoka prefecture, Yoshida route in Yamanashi prefecture. Yoshida route is the most famous route since it is known to be the easiest route to climb.
Mt. Fuji officially opens in early July. But at the beginning of July, it’s still rainy season in Japan. So it is recommended for beginners to climb from the middle of July to September.
The average climbing time is between 5 to 8 hours, and 3 hours to descend the mountain but it might take longer depending on your age or the weather.
↑You can buy wooden climbing sticks called “Kongou tue (or Kongou jou)” which are popular among climbers because you can get stamps from each hut.
