Thanks for stopping by! I didn't buy the canned Mt.Fuji Air; rather I bought a pack of Mt.Fuji Coke. The packaging is just so unique and beautiful, I couldn't help it.
Hi!!.....Great video...I am planning to head up Mt Fuji 5th Station on the 15 or 16 of December 2023. Is it possible to drive and park up there? If driving and/or parking is not allowed and only taxi or bus is, do I need to take the bus down? Can I am assume I can walk from the 5th Station to the 6th Station and which would be the highest point I can up to in this mid December? Thank you
Typically part of the road toward the 5th station would be covered by snow by that time in December, and authority would close the road; thus driving up there impossible. That also means other means of travel such as tour bus possibly impossible also. I suggest you keep track with the updates on the road's office site here: subaruline.jp/e/index.html
That's a nice idea, but unfortunately private cars can’t enter the 5th station due to traffic in the peak hiking season. You need to hire a taxi or go by bus during the summer.
@@EHawk-nm9xk during the busy summer months, I think your best bet is either taking a direct bus from the Shinjuku bus terminal to the Kawaguchiko Station, or stay a night in town; then take the shuttle bus from the station up to the 5th station.
Beautiful views. Interesting souvenirs at that store too. Mt. Fuji Air??? 🤔 Great job on the video.

I made a hot cup of roasted corn tea to watch this. Thank you!
Hope you enjoyed the video

Did you rent the car with snow tire during that time?
No, just regular tires. As long as the road up to the 5th Station is open to the public, which means it is safe for regular cars with regular tires
@@paulyiustravelogue May i ask which period of december did you go there?
@@helloooooooooo.6031 it was the first week of December. I was lucky, the weather was clear at the time. It can be quite cold and icy.
@@paulyiustravelogue Thank so much for your help.☺☺☺
@@helloooooooooo.6031 stay tuned to the road's official site for road closure info subaruline.jp/e/index.html
I want to drive to the 5th station so I can climb the mountain, but where do I park my personal vehicle?

@@paulyiustravelogue thanks so much. Do you know the closest place to park to catch a cab?
