A fun half-day trip and a hike, great views when at the summit, and apparently, on a cloudless day you get to see Mount Fuji. Sadly, it wasn't cloudless when I got there, but the panorama was lovely nonetheless. Oh, and huge-ass colorfull spiders everywhere, so if you're someone afraid of them, it's not a place for you to visit.
Great trail but heatstroke is real, even after hydrating all the time, got a solid headache. I'd say avoid going for complete hike (not sure about the cable car) if the temperature is above 30C and the humidity is around 70%
All trails are easy to hike and it is a good mountain to take different routes and explore different views.
If you want to do a picnic on top is also a good location to do so, just remember to take your trash with you.
Toilets (24h) on top are very good maintained!
Was pretty easy to climb with lots of shops and amenities on the way. I was there on a clear day and fortunate enough to get a beautiful view to Mount Fuji and across Tokyo. There are quite a few shrines on the climb along with a range of cafes and shops when you get to the top.
Great place to spend the day.
Travel up on the chair lift, walk the last 2K then walk back down.
Best to visit during winter time on a clear day for a view of Mt Fuji
Lots of different trails to choose from.
My suggestion is avoid the monkey sanctuary, it's clearly not. They are essentially in a glass walled enclosure, relying on tourists throwing food in , just avoid it.
