Maboroshi-no-taki Falls (Wandering Falls) (Walking)
Typically, the snow on Mt. Fuji thaws and permeates underground before springing up slowly over a period of 100 years; therefore, Mt. Fuji has no rivers or waterfalls. However, at a certain place about 20 minutes from Subashiri Trail Fifth Station, just once a year, for a short period of time, a waterfall appears. Around mid-May to mid-June, when the snow begins to melt, the meltwater gathers in a mountain stream and flows down, creating a very rare sight. The waterfall may or may not be visible, depending on the temperature and other environmental conditions; hence it is called “Maboroshi-no-taki Falls (Wandering Falls)”.
