At about 113 km from Tokyo is the Mount Fuji (Fujisan) the border between the prefectures of Shizuoka and Yamanashi, near the coast on the Pacific Ocean island of Honshu.
It is the mountain most high in Japan. More precisely it is a high volcano 3776, with the snow-capped for nearly 10 made all year. Considered a symbol of Japan since ancient times by `, Mount Fuji and is the place that all Japanese would climb at least once in their lifetime. Despite his imposing appearance, perfectly conical shape, the top almost always snow-covered el `distinctive blue color that offers those who admire it from afar, the Fuji does not offer an area of \u200b\u200boutstanding beauty presenting mainly lava, rocks and desolate landscapes, apart from some courses starting in the middle of the vegetation. What is striking `but the Fuji is precisely this aspect which the moon casts its guests in a different dimension ' that, despite resting places, the many tourists and a few inevitable sign of progress, makes the climb a very special experience. The view from the summit you can admire all the hard work pays off then without really giving the feeling of being on the roof of Japan. Reach the summit at dusk or at dawn is clearly our recommendation!
The season officially begins on 1 July to 31 August.
During this season, resting places and shelters are open. At these stations, parking is possible to stop and rest, eat or drink can also be booked to stay for the night.
In reality it may rise even at other times as long as `access are not blocked due to excessive snowfall or other character limit air pollution. These limitations can be there during the official season, particularly in the early days of the season in which official put the snow is often not yet sufficiently loose to allow a climb in complete safety.

It is necessary to point out that outside the official period is practically impossible to get in touch with any form of aid in case of accidents because even the summit weather station can provide this kind of help and certain altitudes, even mobile phones ensure proper operation. Get on Fuji's not difficult because it is fundamentally difficult paths that do not require, however, she is the use of climbing equipment, ropes and everything is. It is therefore a serious trek that should not be underestimated, however, `.
advise you to follow the climb in good shape, maybe after a few weeks of preparation if you do not perform physical activity constant.
Another important aspect is definitely the time planning. Depending on the processes undertaken to reach the summit can take several hours and if it is not programmed to stay at one time the shelters to see the sun rise then the risk is more common to arrive at the top and having to back down after sunset in complete darkness. In this case it is necessary to take out an electric battery, better than from the front to leave your hands free as another important tool, especially in the descent, appears to be the stick (sold on the spot), traditional or trekking be. To complete the basic equipment `a pair of walking shoes or hiking boots and thermal clothing in layers that will help you to deal with the extreme temperature that there is` between the first phase of the climb and the summit.
If these are the fundamental tools, we can not `But do not even recommend dark glasses, gloves, a hat or cap, sunscreen to protect high water or energy drinks and energy bars and food in easy to digest '. All of course in a backpack size is not excessive.
It is still possible to buy many of these food items and also in the various stations to stop but the price goes from station to station and it is advisable to arrive prepared. Speaking of money, it's better to have changed the money in small denominations or better in coins.
