Nestled halfway up the eastern flank of Mount Fuji, Subashiri 5th Station offers a uniquely tranquil starting point surrounded by lush subalpine forest. Unlike the more barren upper trails, the initial ascent from here immerses climbers in cooling shade and verdant woodland before breaking above the tree line. Accessible by seasonal shuttle buses, the station features rustic mountain lodges and essential supplies for the journey. It is also renowned for the exhilarating 'sunabashiri' volcanic sand descent, making it a favorite trail for adventurous hikers.
