A special reward for successfully climbing Mount Fuji

Some people say that the mountain top bowl patrol line is a "hidden mountaineering route" specially rewarded to climbers who have experienced lack of sleep and worked hard to climb up.

A bucket list item with a little proof left.
So no matter how tired you are after watching the sunrise, there are several places on the top of the mountain that are worth visiting.
Ohachimeguri Trail Route Analysis
There will be a route of the mountain top bowl patrol line. First of all, we must know that Mount Fuji is originally a volcano, not an ordinary mountain. That is to say, because Mount Fuji has a crater relationship, so there is a route that walks around the crater of Mount Fuji.
Overall, the Bo Xun Line is neither too long nor too short, but there are several popular attractions that are worth visiting. Before departure, it is recommended to refer to the following route information, weather information, etc., so that you can walk more easily.

Weather changes at the top of the mountain
Mount Fuji is a place where the weather changes rapidly and the temperature is low, whether it is the climbing path or the mountain top area. Therefore, after reaching the top of Mount Fuji, the requirements for equipment and clothing on this side cannot be underestimated.
Basically, on the top of Mount Fuji in August in summer, even if the temperature in Tokyo is above 30 degrees for several consecutive days, the environment on the top of Mount Fuji is still only 0-5 degrees. Moreover, the wind speed at the top of the mountain is very high, and sometimes there will be sudden heavy rain, dense fog, and thunderstorms, so you should check the weather forecast of Mount Fuji before you decide to go to the top of the mountain.

Fuji is higher than the 8th station mountain hut, that is to say, the oxygen concentration will be relatively lower, and the chance and danger of altitude sickness will be higher.

Climb to the highest point of Mt. Fuji – Jianfeng
It is often said that Mt. Fuji is 3776 meters high and is the highest point in Japan, so you may think that reaching the bowl patrol line is equivalent to successfully unlocking the life list item of 3776 meters.
In fact, the 3776 meters of Mount Fuji is on the side of the elevation column of Jianfeng (剑ケ峰 kengamine), which is next to the highest weather observation station in Japan. First of all, you have to walk from the bowl patrol line to a very inclined slope called "horse's back" before you can reach the elevation column of Mount Fuji's sword peak.
Doubts about climbing Jianfeng – Should I go clockwise? Or go counterclockwise?
Although the Hachiro line is a climbing route around the crater of Mt. Fuji, theoretically there will be no big difference from which side to start. The value is due to the influence of the terrain and the "horse's back". If you walk clockwise, you can use the crawling method to climb up the "horse's back", and then return to the bowl patrol line from the other side. This will be much safer than sliding down the "horse's back" from Jianfeng, and it can also reduce the chance of falling and being injured on the "horse's back".
Another thing to note is that there are more people climbing Mount Fuji on weekends and holidays. If you want to take pictures with Jianfeng Stone Pillar, it is recommended to reserve a little more time on the downhill trip so that you will not miss the return. Buses in Lake Kawaguchi and Tokyo.
