Climbing from Fujiyoshida (9/21)


  1. Right above the Saito hut is the newly build Seikanso hut.
    On the hut, it's written that this is the sixth station, but it's only few meters above the Saito hut. Continue past the the front of the hut to the right.
  2. The route from Kawaguchiko.
  3. It's tempting to go straight here but turn left.
  4. Rokaido (six sided temple). Go past the front to the other side where the route continues. I've seen the hut by the temple open sometimes way back, but haven't seen it open recently.
  5. There is a status of Nichiren by the side of the temple.
  6. The route continues around the otherside of the temple.
  7. Right above the temple, there is a broken down hut.
  8. There are some footsteps to the left, but the correct route is to go straight.
  9. The route becomes kind of sandy with black ash.
  10. On a clear day, you'll be able to see the route to the summit.
  11. You'll soon see some buildings to the right. This is the Fuji Safety station, which is also the sixth station.
    Route from Kawaguchiko New Fifth Station passes in front of these building and merges with this Yoshida route by their side. There is a public pay toilet.
    There used to be a hut here, but it was swept by an avalanche few years back.
  12. The route becomes rocky and sandy from here. On this route, it is often cloudy between 6th and 8th station, but this doesn't mean it's cloudy above the 8th station.
