This is a short and rewarding hike near Lake Yamanaka, offering incredible views of Mt. Fuji throughout the trail. Perfect for sunrise enthusiasts, this trail takes only about 20 minutes to reach the summit, making it one of the quickest ways to experience a stunning mountain panorama.

Trailhead: Mikuni Toge

Access:

  • By Car: Drive to Mikuni Toge Trailhead. Parking is available.

  • By Public Transport: Take a bus from Fujisan Station to Lake Yamanaka, and then walk for one hour to Mikuni Toge Trailhead. Cycling is recommended (rental cycles available near Lake Yamanaka).

Hike Details:

  • Distance: 2 km

  • Duration: 40 minutes round trip

  • Incline: Moderate, with steep sections near the summit

General Information & Summary:

Mt. Myojin offers breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji, starting right from the trailhead. The trail is well-marked with pink ribbons and leads you through serene forested areas. While the hike is short, it features some steep sections, especially near the summit, so proper footwear is recommended.

Reaching the summit at sunrise is particularly rewarding, with the soft light illuminating Mt. Fuji and the surrounding landscape. Along the way, several smaller side trails offer excellent spots for photography, with unique angles of Mt. Fuji.
