Mt.FUJI



I don't know why many foreigner want to climb Mt. Fuji. May be this mountain is the symbol of Japan.

Fuji 5th station , of yoshida entrance, were very busy with many hikers.
(Choose another route if you don't like many people.)

I hiked ' oniwa' and 'okuniwa' near 5th station. I could  enjoy mount Fuji, a little.( around there, there are plants. This place is the forest limit of mount Fuji)

I like Mount Haku. (white mountain)
I recommend there. Many flowers broom  during summer time. (Mount Fuji, there are not so many flowers from 5th station to the summit)

During summer, god master (kan nushi) go the summit of mount haku every morning before sun rise  with hikers. And pray for the mountain god and sun and hikers,  and say  'BANZAI' with all the people there  at the timing of sunrise.


I have been to Mount Tate. It is easy to go as well by bus, train , but need mountain gear.

High Mountain weather is changeable. It is very cold, even in summer.

These three mountains are thought 'Three holy mountains in Japan'
