Hike at the bottom of Mt. Fuji before attempting to summit Mt. Fuji at a dif-ferent tour. We will stop by Fuji Sengen Shrine to purchase the famous Mt. Fuji hiking sticks (Kongo-zue), then move to Umagaeshi where our hike starts. Umagaeshi to the 3rd station is a 90-minute hike on a comfortable trail through the woods. After the 3rd station, the trail steepens where we will continue to hike for another 45 minutes until we reach the 4.5th station, which is at an altitude of 2,010m. We will hike for 50 minutes to the Yo-shida 5th station and then detour for 35 minutes to the hidden 6th station to get rare stamps. We will then descend 40 minutes towards our goal, Sub-aru line 5th station. This tour does not include summiting Mt. Fuji but it is one of many conditioning opportunities to prepare a summit hike.  Climbing stick: Y800~Y2,000   Stamps: Y300~Y500
