A look at the crystal clear mountain water in natural springs that form around Mount Fuji, Japan's iconic volcano, in the Gotemba, Shizuoka Prefecture area of Japan. These ponds can be several feet deep--yet clear to the bottom due to the pure, clear mountain water. The Torii is the entrance to climbing route station 5. Even though most climbers do not climb the Subashiri and Gotemba routes, many descend down these because of their ash-covered paths. From the seventh station to near the fifth station, one could literally run down these ash-covered paths in approximately 30 minutes. It is also possible to ride a mountain bike down Mt. Fuji from the summit.
