Tried to mostly follow Paul Deckret's original route. Had to start a bit further down the beach because the access was closed. Refilled water at the first station on the way up and then on multiple vending machines on the way down. Weather was very hot and humid down low but nice and sunny up on the mountain.

Had some route finding difficulties when the trail first enters the forest at the base of Mt Fuji. If I did it again, I wouldn't choose Paul's route again since the trail below 3000 ft is in bad condition as of July 2024.
