Mt Fuji
July 20th & 21st, 2010 - An estimated 200,000 people climb Mount Fuji every year. Mount Fuji is open from 1 July to 27 August, while huts and other facilities are operating. Buses to the fifth station start running on 1 July. Climbing from October to May is very strongly discouraged, after a number of deaths. Some climb the mountain at night in order to be in a position at or near the summit when the sun rises.
The Kawaguchi station is the second highest fifth station, the Kawaguchiko(Fujiyoshida) route is the most popular route because of its large parking area and many large mountain huts where a climber can rest or stay. During the summer season, most Mount Fuji climbing tour buses arrive & depart from here. (Long.138°45'1"E Lat.35°21'5"N)
