The 5th Station of Mt. Fuji Subashiri Trail

Subashiri Trail allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of many alpine plants. The trail merges with Kawaguchiko (Fujiyoshida) Trail at the 8th station.
The forest limit around Subashiri Trail is 2,700 m (8,858 ft), which is the highest of all Mount Fuji trails. Thanks to this high limit, the trail is surrounded by greenery while the other trails are all bleak. The trail is also gently sloped, providing the most comfortable climbing.
The forest protects you from Mount Fuji's strong sunshine and wind. As you walk through the trees in the cool air, you can see the beautiful scenery of alpine plants and listen to the lovely singing of birds.
