Avoid crowded days

Climbers tend to concentrate on weekends, holidays, and during the Obon holidays in August. On particularly busy days on the calendar, you may not be able to proceed as planned due to traffic jams on the mountain trail just below the summit before the sunrise. By planning your trip on weekdays when it"s less crowded, you can safely walk at your own pace.
