Back in 2004, G-TOUR (of which I was part of) made a trip to Mount Fuji. While in the area, we were bused to one of the Fifth Stations and, later, enjoyed a fireworks festival at Lake Kawaguchi, one of the surrounding lakes.
On the way to the Fifth Station, we made a stop at the mountain's timberline to view the summit.
