Mt. Fuji has been a

Mt. Fuji has been a classic must-see attraction in Japan, and September is exactly the last period of opening before Mt. Up the mountain at this time of year, you can avoid the peak crowds and the weather is still cool for climbing and taking in the magnificent natural views. The city of Fujinomiya with the clear sky and the spectacular summit of Mount Fuji in the distance is really refreshing at first sight. 🗺️ Recommended hiking routes: There are several trailheads on Mount Fuji. This time we recommend starting from Fujinomiyakou. This route is more direct and suitable for those who want to climb to the top quickly to see the scenery. The trip can be scheduled to leave in the early morning and strive to reach the summit by about noon. Slowly admiring the foothill villages, woods, and magnificent volcanic rock landscape along the way, every step is very satisfying. 🌄Must-see check-in spots: 1. Fujinomiya 5th Station: Many people choose to start the walk at the 5th station because the transportation is more convenient and you can already see the scenery of the entire Fujinomiya city down the mountain. 2. Hillside Observation Deck: There are several observation deck spots on the way, and looking back will see clear skies and beautiful views of the village, perfect for stopping to take beautiful photos. 3. Summit Crater: After reaching the top, you can enjoy the unique landscape of Mount Fuji up close. The summit has a 360-degree viewpoint without blind spots. 🎒 Hiking Tips: - The temperature difference between day and night is large in September. Remember to bring warm clothes when you go up the mountain (it's easy to be cold and windy). - Plan your trip early, check the weather forecast for the day, and prepare enough water and food. - Fujimiyakou has more public facilities, but the further up the mountain the less supplies, to prepare your own headlamp, hiking poles and other basic equipment. - UV rays are strong in the mountains, sunglasses, hat and sunscreen are recommended. ⚠️ Notes: - Closed mountain restrictions may begin at the end of September, coupled with fast changing weather, an early descent is highly recommended. - The uphill route is not suitable for first-time climbers, some physical strength and climbing experience are recommended. - Mountain roads are rocky, remember to wear hiking shoes to reduce the risk of slipping or injury. Summary: Mount Fuji is not only a Japanese symbol, but also a natural beauty. Go to the summit in the fall and not only enjoy the refreshing climate, but also the tranquility of the villages and natural vistas below the mountain. What I thought was the best part of this trip—from the fifth station to the top of the mountain, every angle was worth pressing the shutter, and it felt healing overlooking the panoramic view of Fujinomiya City. If you want to simply challenge the most beautiful mountains in Japan, remember to take advantage of September to hike, guaranteed to harvest!
