Four main trails lead to Fuji’s summit.
These trails are Yoshida, Fujinomiya, Subashiri, and Gotemba. However, the Subaru Line 5th Station is the most popular starting point as it is easily accessible from Tokyo.
The climbing typically takes 5-10 hours, and coming down takes about 3-4 hours. It is just half-time of climbing.

Mount Fuji is easier than Everest and has fewer challenges.
However, sometimes, trekkers face weather changes that are manageable. Fuji’s summit can feel like -10°C July due to wind chill.
