Private Mt.Fuji 5th sta. Hiking Tour with a licensed mountain guide
“Awesome Experience”
It was just awesome! At first, the weather wasn't cooperative and I wasn't able to see Mt.Fuji from the city, but once we reached the 5th station of Mt.Fuji, I could clearly see beautiful Mt.Fuji all the way to the top. The trail was very easy to walk with few ups and downs, and I was impressed by the wonderful scenery along the way. A sea of clouds spread out below me, making it feel like I was walking in the sky. The guide was super nice, and he told me some interesting history of Mt.Fuji. That made this trip even more worthwhile. I highly recommend everyone to visit here once!
