The summit crater-rim laps trail
The trail that leads you around the top of Mt. Fuji is called the Ohachimeguri Trail. Believers of Mt. Fuji worship, called Fujiko, used to visit the shrine at the summit and then walk the Ohachimeguri Trail clockwise. Try to walk the Ohachimeguri Trail when weather is calm and you have enough physical strength. It takes about 90 minutes to go around.
Fujiko: A religious group of Mt. Fuji worship, which flourished in the Edo period.

Ochudo (trail) (Yamanashi pref. side)
The Ochudo (trail) is an ancient trail of about 25 km for hiking around the 5th Station and was used as a training path for Fujiko worship. It is said that only those who ascended Mt. Fuji three times were allowed to walk Ochudo (trail). There are some dangerous points due to collapses on the Ochudo trail. Now you can hike only about 2.5 km from the Fuji-Subaru Line 5th Station to Oniwa (natural park) on the trail.
