Tips for selecting a route...........
●For one day trip, climbing from Fujinomiya and taking Subashiri to return is recommended because they are easier to hike.
●If staying overnight, climbing from Subashiri and coming back to Gotemba is recommended to fully enjoy the hiking. The risk of mountain sickness is very small.
●If you are a mountain climber, climbing from Subashiri and coming back to Gotemba is recommended because those routes are not tough
