It is currently an important tourist spot, especially for those athletes who wish to do mountaineering. If that is the case, we recommend that you go from the beginning of July to the end of August since this time frame is considered the official season for mountaineering. Likewise, we suggest that, like many other athletes, you do this journey at night to be able to appreciate the sunrise from the top of the mountain. There are 4 routes to carry out this climb, although the time we have to dedicate to the scale will depend on the route we choose, the average is between 6 and 9 hours to climb and a little less to make the descent.

On the route we find several cabins that have minimal facilities but that will allow us to rest and then continue with our journey. If we still have outside, we can allocate some time to see the center of Mount Fuji, formed by the crater and eight peaks that surround it. Would you like to see more Mount Fuji wall murals? Entering the mountain murals category, you will find hundreds of murals with the same style, but in various tones and textures.
