Itinerary description
The best way to see Mount Fuji is not by ascending Mount Fuji but ascending a mountain next to it. This is a very nice hike you can do in 1 day. Start in Mitsu-tōge Station, end in Kawaguchi-ko.

On the way to the top
There are nice things to see on the way to the top. I did this track in March so there was some snow on it... When you meet the hachi-ju-hachi-daiishi (88 little statues), you're on the right track! Take a look at these pictures.

You can take the cablecar or walk down. It's not so hard because there are stairs...

Very nice trail with beautiful landscape! I didn't finished it completly because the weather changed! Up and down the mountain was a little difficult to walk because of the wet leafes - with trekking poles it would have been much easier! Maybe next time I'll finish it!
