Subjects : The ascent of Mount Fuji is one of those things to do absolutely at least once in their lifetime. The period in which it is allowed to climb Mount Fuji (without special equipment) obviously corresponds with the summer, when the problems arising from climate summit are reduced. We must not forget that, although the climb is well equipped (from any area is part), Mount Fuji is still a mountain of 3776 so it is wise to dress me suitable for this type of walks. Obviously you climb to see the view of the surrounding areas (Minami Alps, Tokyo and others) and also as a life experience. Do not be surprised if you find yourself up along with thousands of Japanese in a row to reach the top (if not mistaken their religion requires climb Mount Fuji at least once in their lives). However, due to the number of persons present during the ascent, of course sightings of animals are minimized. One thing must do is go up at night (as I personally did), to watch the sunrise from the top (assuming you get there).

Recommended equipment : Clothing for hiking, comfortable shoes. When it relates photographic equipment must be well chosen because represent the weight to carry around in the ascent. Personally I would recommend a tripod very light and landscape lenses (12mm to 100mm). I would not go over for not having too much weight on their shoulders

Best months : The summer period (June-August) is open to climb without special equipment. At other times you have to take into account possible adverse weather conditions at the top.

How to get there : The climb can be done in several ways. Personally, I took the train to Gotemba station and then from there a bus to the base of Subashiri Trail that leads to the summit. In this case, the total climb from the start to the peak is nearly 1800 meters.

Visits : The climb is of course free, but the means to reach the starting point are not.
