This was about the right size.

I did not use them at all. (I didn't know where to use them.)

Things to do at the fifth station
In order to acclimate your body to the high altitude, you will have to kill some time at the fifth station before you start climbing the mountain. I will write about how to have fun at the fifth station.
※At the fifth station, it was difficult to get a cell phone signal. (Due to the terrain?).
Shopping
There are three souvenir shops. They sell snacks, drinks, T-shirts, alcohol, mountaineering goods, vajra sticks, red seal books, and other items. Red seal booklets are also sold at the summit and have different designs.
Foods and Sweets
There is a restaurant where you can eat. They also sell a variety of sweets.
300 yen per piece. Credit card payment accepted. Just the right size to fill a small stomach.
600 yen per piece. I didn't know what flavor it was, but it was refreshingly sweet and might be ideal for after climbing a mountain.

It offers postal, deposit, withdrawal, and foreign currency exchange services. If you send a postcard here, you can have it postmarked with a landscape seal.
※Deposit and withdrawal services are not available on weekends and holidays.

Located before the entrance to the trailhead. It is possible to get a red seal.
Weather on Day 1
The fifth station was cloudy and cool with a temperature of about 25°. During the climb, the weather was clear and sometimes cloudy, making it easy to climb.

Fuji cooperation fee (1,000 yen) can be paid here and at the fifth station. Payment is optional, but you will receive a wooden tag as a return gift. We recommend it because of its fashionable design.

8th station Hakuunsou
Arrival at 8:30 p.m. Dinner will be served as soon as you drop off your luggage. You will also receive breakfast for the next day at dinner. The sleeping area is large enough for one adult to lie down. It was cold in the sleeping bag at night, so we went to bed around 9:30 p.m. It was not so hard up to this point. It was not so hard up to this point. It felt like a short walk.
