<Comment>
I have worked as an eco tour guide/instructor (mainly for international tourists) at an outdoor sports company in Lake Kawaguchi. I have been on site as a guide, conducting tours (sea of trees, canoeing, MTB, etc.) with the motto of "fun and easy to understand." After accumulating knowledge and experience, I retired from the company in 2017 and began providing nature experience activities myself.
Nature from 1st to 5th station
Yoshida-guchi mountain path is one mentioned by Mt. Fuji faith. In addition, it is surrounded with beautiful green as located lower than the sixth-gome (forest limitation). We can enjoy climbing as well as we can pass through Yoshida-guchi mountain path which makes us attract our intellectual interest with a guide. As the guide explains Mt. Fuji faith to be understood well at the spot, you can comfortably climb it with advice. Through the ancient route, why do not you climb the route used as Mt. Fuji-ko climbing and attend a different taste of Mt. Fuji climbing? The ancient people's established route makes you feel a mysterious world splendid.
Fujiko
Fujiko is a faith of the general that continued from the Edo period to the early Showa period. They considered Mt. Fuji to be sacred and worshiped it, and climb Mt. Fuji in groups as part of their training, wearing white coats and carrying bells and canes. You will enjoy trekking wearing costumes modeled after Fujiko at the time.
