Mount Fuji’s Fifth Station is such a great little stop, literally halfway up Japan’s most iconic mountain.

You don’t have to hike the whole thing to get those epic Fuji vibes!

You can actually drive or take a bus up there, and the views are insane on a clear day.

There are a few souvenir shops, food stalls, and even a shrine, so it’s a fun mix of culture and scenery.

You’ll definitely feel the altitude—it’s around 2,300 meters high—so bring a jacket, even in summer.

It’s the perfect spot to get that “I was on Mount Fuji” photo without doing the full climb.
