About Mt. Fuji (Shizuoka side) ― how to enjoy a walk

Japan’s highest peak at 3,776 m, an active volcano straddling Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Shizuoka side has three trails — Fujinomiya, Gotemba and Subashiri — with the climbing season from early summer to autumn.

For full-scale climbing, take a bus from Shin-Fuji or Mishima Shinkansen Station to the 5th station. The summit takes 5–10 hours. The Miho Pine Grove, Shiraito Falls and Oshino Hakkai near Mt. Fuji are also UNESCO components.

Smoking rules and things to watch around Mt. Fuji (Shizuoka side)

Tourist areas across Shizuoka have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.

The Mt. Fuji trails and mountain huts are entirely non-smoking as sacred sites and protected nature. Even with a portable ashtray, littering butts is strictly forbidden. Smoke at stations near the base before climbing.
