Fujinomiya route -Difficulty of climbing-

The Fujinomiya Route can be said that it is not so high as far as difficulty of climbing Mt. Fuji. It is not just a way to climb at the shortest distance, it is also a low possibility of getting lost. However, as many people come to climb Mt. Fuji inevitably, we must keep in mind the heavy traffic. Furthermore, since the climbing road and the descending road are the same, it is becoming an extra crowded route. And since the road is relatively narrow, you will have to climb or descend while care about the other people. The ground is a bit hard and there are some place where the slope is tight. So when you go down the mountain you have to properly consider the burden on your feet such as your knees. However, it can be said that climbing and descending are relatively easy to do.
