A cold wind meets the bus as it climbs toward the tree line, and for a moment Mount Fuji fills the window: a sheer cone rising above cloud and pines. At the 5th Station the air is thin, the viewpoint raw and immediate — a place where tourists trade city noise for brisk alpine light and long vistas across the Fuji Five Lakes.
