Sunrise from the summit (3:50 am, 7/8/2010)

The moment of sunrise is the most beautiful time.

There are four major routes from the fifth station to the summit with an additional four routes from the foot of the mountain. The major routes from the fifth station are (clockwise) the Lake Kawaguchi, Subashiri, Gotemba and Fujinomiya routes. Our start point was the fifth station and climbing through the Kawaguchi route. we arrived to 5th station at 7:30pm (above the clouds).
