707Fujikawaguchiko to Narusawa
29.5 km toll road spiralling up Mt Fuji’s north slope to the 2,305 m 5th Station.
The Fuji Subaru Line is a 29.5 km toll road (Yamanashi Prefectural Route 707) opened in 1964 that climbs Mount Fuji’s northern flank from near Lake Kawaguchi to the Yoshida-trail 5th Station at 2,305 m. It rises through dense forest into the sub-alpine zone with views over the Fuji Five Lakes. The toll must be paid, the road can close for snow outside summer, and it is shut to private cars during the peak July–September climbing season when shuttle buses run instead.
