Highlights

Yoshida Trail

The Yoshida Trail is the most popular route, and is the only trail that originates in Yamanashi Prefecture at an elevation of around 2300 meters. The trail’s starting point is known as the Fuji Subaru Line 5th station. Higher up the mountain, the Yoshida Trail offers the largest concentration of huts between the 7th and 8th stations.

Since the summer of 2025, Yoshida Trail has introduced a mandatory 4,000 yen entry fee per person for those who will pass through the gate at 5th station and a 4,000 daily hiker limit. An online reservation system allows booking from 3,000 daily slots in advance, but 1,000 slots will be still available for same-day visits. The hiking fee also applies to anyone descending the Yoshida Trail (payable at the 6th station), if ascending via another route.

Subashiri Trail

The Subashiri Trail begins on the eastern side of Mt Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture, and its 5th station sits at a slightly lower elevation of 2000 meters. The Subashiri trail actually joins up with the Yoshida trail around the 8th station.

Gotemba Trail

The Gotemba Trail begins on the southeastern side of the mountain, in Shizuoka Prefecture. With the 5th station here sitting only at 1400 meters above sea level, a hike to the summit from this starting point takes the longest of all the routes.

Fujinomiya Trail

The Fujinomiya Trail is the southernmost of the four trails and the most accessible starting point for travelers coming from western Japan. With a starting elevation of 2400 meters above sea level, this is the shortest of the trails to the summit but the only one that offers zero visibility of a morning sunrise, until the final arrival at the mountain’s peak. About a half dozen huts are located along the route.
