The summit of Mt. Fuji. The highest mountain in Japan. A world famous vulcano. Relatively easy to climb if you go slow.
The recommended way of doing it is via Yamanashi Trail, starting from Fifth Station, going halfway up, having dinner and rest in a mountain hut, then make the rest of the climb in the early night.
A headlamp and walking poles is needed. The lava gravel is very soft and deep.
The climb gets steeper all the way
