| Officially, the climbing season is July-August as there are lots of lodging huts.
Once there, you must visit the five lakes situated on the northern side of the mountain, which are a fantastic sight to see.
If you want to get there by rail take Shinjuku (Tokyo) Station to Kawaguchi-ko Station, or else if your preference is by road, then take the highway services from Shinjuku Station.

| To Do And See : Mount Fuji |
|
| When travelling in East Asia, ensure you visit one of the most famous attractions in Japan, Mount Fuji. It is a perfectly symmetrical volcano cone (12,389ft) and the highest peak in Japan. The Japanese regard it as sacred. This is a safe place to climb because it has not erupted since 1707. |
