I've heard Mt. Fuji has more than one routes (trails) to the summit. How are they different? Thanks.

Hello! I answer!
There are officially four routes for climbing Mt Fuji.
The strong point and demerit are on each route.
We recommend you to choose the mountain-climbing route of Mt. Fuji for public transport or the purpose.
Of course, it is although own condition is top priority...

Tracy,
Kawaguchiko-trail is most easily accessible from Tokyo. I believe that's why the trail has the highest number of annual climbers.
If you are not an experienced climber, you may want to choose Fujinomiya-trail, which is said to be the easiest of all.

Another reason is that Kawaguchiko-cho is more "English-friendly" than other cities around Mt. Fuji. For example, Fuji Visitor Center in Kawaguchiko-cho has staff members who can speak English fluently.
