climbing fujisan
There are four routes up Mount Fuji. Some routes are easier than others, as you'll see in the videos. People can go up one route and down another. Some routes have tea houses and shrines along the way. One route has bears.
Each route has stations along the way. The 5th stations are the last that people can be bussed to. The stations have refreshments, and some even offer huts for people to rest in, sometimes overnight. Lots of people try to climb so that they catch the sun rise or set from the summit.
July and August are the most popular months for climbing due to the good weather. Around 200,000 people climb Fujisan each year. About 30% of those people are from countries other than Japan.
