Gateway to Mount Fuji's Fifth Station! The entrance to a breathtaking mountain drive offering stunning views of majestic Mount Fuji and vast natural landscapes.
Overview
The Fuji Subaru Line Tollgate serves as the gateway to Mount Fuji's Fifth Station, offering a close-up view of the majestic World Heritage site, Mount Fuji. The Fuji Subaru Line, extending from here, is a mountain driveway spanning approximately 29.5km with an elevation difference of about 1200m, renowned for its spectacular views of Mount Fuji.
The road from the tollgate winds through lush forests, with the scenery changing as the altitude increases. In spring, the melting snow gives way to vibrant new greenery, painting the mountainside with vivid colors. Summer brings a brilliant blue sky against a backdrop of verdant mountains. Autumn paints the mountains in hues of red and yellow with stunning foliage, while winter transforms the landscape into a serene world of snow-covered Mount Fuji—a true masterpiece of nature.
Numerous viewpoints and parking areas are located along the driveway, allowing you to take breaks and fully appreciate the scenery. You can also enjoy nature walks to scenic spots such as "Goten" (Imperial Garden) and "Okuniwa" (Inner Garden).
The Fuji Subaru Line is also a crucial access route for those climbing Mount Fuji and is bustling with many mountaineers. Even simply driving along the mountain road provides a memorable experience, allowing you to fully enjoy the majestic Mount Fuji and its abundant natural beauty.
