Trekking up the stations of Fuji Subaru Line will always depend on the current weather restrictions. During our date of visit, the highest level our van could go to was the 4th station (2020m high). The ride up was extremely pleasant as we were accompanied by our jovial driver/tour guide, Gary from Joey's Van and Chauffeur (reach him at +81 90-1778-3759(Viber/Line). Once we reached the 4th station, it was swarming with tourists aggressively attempting to snap a photo of Mt. Fuji. In contrast to our experience in Lake Kawaguchi though, people weren't mindful of their co-tourists; thus they ended up hogging all the space the entire time. We weren't also used to the cold also that it became unbearable at some point that we also couldn't stay too long outside. It was also incredibly misty at that point to get a good shot; so we decided to go back to our van and begin our descent. Honestly, I'm pretty sure that the sights would have been nice to look at but my entire family was incredibly tired from the day's tour that we ended up snoring on the way down.

I went to 5th station via Subaru line during the first few days of August, but the mist was heavily low and blurred the mountain. However, this compensated with the musical road on the way there. You need to be quiet enough to hear. I bought the ticket from Kawagujiko bus station which is the nearest station to Fuji because I climbed mount Fuji on the next day. To see Mount Fuji clearly, you need to stay at the hotel around and wake up in the early morning to admire the graceful sight of Fuji San.
