On our way to the summit we will pass a rest stop called Eboshi. It has a great view of Mt. Fuji on all but the most miserable days. It's a good place to quietly have a snack tell some jokes and overlook the view.

Our peak elevation for the day is at Lake Motosuko's panorama dai. The walking last section of walking to here is quiet and peaceful. The view is stunning and there's somewhere to sit and rest when we arrive.
