The first part goes over hiking up the mountain. During the beginning fact quiz segment footage is shown of Gachapin, a mascot character that was shown in another episode so I'm wondering if that's the TV station mascot, as it climbs Mt. Fuji during the winter.
It then slightly changes topics as they spotlight a famous hiker who has climbed the mountain 133 times in a year. The then watch footage of his usual day as he goes to climb the mountain. After the clip is over they are in the classroom and the hiker talks to them over the phone (or at least I think that's how they do it for programs like this).
After that they move on to the next fact quiz that talks about the radar center on the mountain that helps track typhoons. For this another video is shown, this one about building the radar dome of the center. Then there's a really short video about paragliding down the mountain, which is then followed by one about foot races on the mountain. Then they talk about the last time Mt. Fuji erupted, as it is a volcano after all.
The next segment I just went ahead and uploaded onto youtube (veoh is still giving me issues) to watch as it deserves to be watched. It's a Mt. Fuji song quiz that Fujigaya, Takada and Shoon participate in and Shoon just steals the show. Seriously, you need to watch it, and you should be able to follow along just fine without knowing Japanese.
As that segment runs into the credits all that's left then is the little clip at the end of the program which is just Takada at the mic stand.
