What Is Mizugatsuka Park / Mori-no-Eki Fujisan?
Mizugatsuka Park is a natural park at an altitude of approximately 1,450 meters, located in Suyama, Susono City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Spread across the southwestern slopes of Mt. Fuji, the park offers a close-up view of Mt. Fuji’s Hoei Crater and is widely known among hikers and tourists as a spectacular viewpoint.
Adjacent to the park is “Mori-no-Eki Fujisan” (Forest Station Mt. Fuji), with shops, a restaurant, and restrooms, making it an extremely convenient rest stop for Mt. Fuji climbers and drivers. For those aiming for Mt. Fuji via the Fujinomiya Route, Mizugatsuka Park is also the last stop before heading up to Fujinomiya 5th Station. On clear days you can take in the full panorama of Mt. Fuji and get ready before setting off – during climbing season the park is bustling with visitors.
Private Vehicle Ban and Shuttle Bus Information
During the “private vehicle ban” period when personal vehicle access to Mt. Fuji is restricted (typically early July to early September each year), the Mizugatsuka Park parking lot serves as the shuttle bus terminal for Fujinomiya 5th Station. As a result, the area around Mizugatsuka Park becomes extremely busy during this period.
The shuttle bus connects Mizugatsuka Park parking lot to Fujinomiya 5th Station in approximately 30 minutes, with a parking fee of around 1,000 yen per day for passenger cars (subject to change each year). Peak congestion occurs from early morning through the morning hours, and on weekends and holidays queues for parking can develop. By checking this live camera in advance, you can see parking lot congestion and vehicle queues on the road before setting out. For the exact dates of the private vehicle ban and current fees, please check the Shizuoka Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center or the official Mt. Fuji Climbing website each year for the latest information.
Snow and Road Conditions on Mt. Fuji Skyline
The Mizugatsuka live camera delivers real-time road conditions on Shizuoka Prefectural Route 152 (Mt. Fuji Skyline) at one-minute intervals. Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, you can check on-site conditions even before a late-night or early-morning departure.
Located at an altitude of 1,450 meters, snow and ice can begin significantly earlier than in lower areas – caution is typically needed from around November through April of the following year. In winter, road icing can lead to traffic restrictions and chain regulations. During typhoons and heavy rain, road flooding and landslides can also cause closures. Always check the current road surface and snow conditions via this live camera before driving or climbing, and plan a safe journey.
