We are going to hike from 1st station to 5th station on Yoshida trails.
Climbing season over 5th of Mt Fuji is from July 1 ~ Sep10.
However, you can hike from the first station to fifth station on Yoshida trails in most seasons.
You see many plants along trails and see a few lakes if the weather is good.
I recommend these people who come to Mt Fuji out of climbing season or who would like to experience not too hard climbing.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was foggy and we could not see much the view from the mountain. However, you seemed to enjoy the trail and history about Mt Fuji. I forgot giving you the brochure of Fujiyoshi city that says the festival, ritual and so on. So, please come back to Mt Fuji area again and climb the mountain to the summit next time! Take care and keep in touch!

“Day trip to Kamakura ”
Chinami prepared an interesting itinerary that covered the top attractions in Kamakura. Chinami was well prepared and knowledgeable about Kamakura's history and culture. We had 11 people in our private group and all had a wonderful time with Chinami.
