From Gotemba New Fifth Station, this demanding route makes the long ascent over open volcanic gravel, circles Mount Fuji’s summit crater, and visits Kengamine, Japan’s highest point. The descent passes the seventh-station huts before entering the celebrated Osunabashiri, a roughly five-kilometre run down the mountain’s vast cinder slope.
