With unrivaled magnificence and a beautiful cone shape, Mt. Fuji has often been favored as the subject of paintings and literature throughout the centuries, and is now globally known as the symbol of Japan. Mt. Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan standing 3,776 meters tall and situated at the border of two prefectures, Shizuoka and Yamanashi. Mt. Fuji has long been the center of mountain worship of ancient Japan. Today, it is a popular mountain to climb, especially to watch the sunrise called Goraiko from the top. However, access to the 5th station is well maintained, so you will still be able to enjoy the magnificence of Mt. Fuji from the beautiful sight and the surrounding nature between May and November without having to climb to the top.
