Climbing MOUNT FUJI in One Day | Yoshida Trail (富士山: 吉田ルート)
Рет қаралды 40,073
Күн бұрынI climbed Mount Fuji on the last day before the seasonal closure. Mt. Fuji is opened from July to September.
In the summer many people climb to the top of Mt. Fuji. But, due to pandemic climbers are reduced and I think I like it better uncrowded for the entire hike.
It was drizzling when we started to climb at 9:00am. Took the most popular of the four main routes on Mt. Fuji, The Yoshida Trail.
It was moderate difficulty on the ascent. Took us roughly 4hrs to reach the summit.
The way down was incredible and always my favorite part, though a lot of climbers says it is hard and really painful on the knees.
The majesty and beauty of Mt. Fuji remain the same, and there is no better way to realize it than the experience of climbing it. Must hike for those visiting during the season.
Don`t forget to bring hiking poles and extra water. :)

Yes! I almost punked out towards the last bit.🤣 There was a trail you could turn back down the mountain, and it was so tempting.. but again, I'm so glad I finished because I would have regretted that decision for the rest of my life because that view at the top brought me to tears it was so beautiful. I'm definitely doing it again, but I'll be in better shape next time.😊lol. I was not prepared the first time.

I actually never considered climbing Mt. Fuji without seeing the sunrise. I'll be in Japan beginning of September, I might finally do it. Update: I managed to book a hut and climbed overnight in the first week of September. I think it would have literally killed me if I did it in one go :D 6 hours to the 8th station hut of which it rained the first 3, another 2 to the top and 5 hours down. 30 Minutes into the descent I was contemplating just staying up there forever.

Maybe a bad thing to do - do you think it is possible to leave shinjuku at 645 am, climb fuji and come back on the same day to shinjuku?

Great video! My Fiance and I plan on doing the hike this July. I see that it took 4 hours to get to the top, how long did it take to get back down? We also plan on doing it in 1 day but wasnt sure what time to start. Did you go at the pace in the speed pretty much the whole time? Thanks in advance!

Hi Brant, we started at 9am and was drizzly at that time but still we had beautiful weather. We did little breaks (5-10mins) in between. I did my normal pace and little steps 😂 as you can see in my video. Took us 3hrs to descend. Please bring headlamps in case it gets dark it would be really helpful. This hike took me 9hrs in total back to 5th station. I hope this helps and enjoy the hike this July! ❤🎉😊

Hi, it took us 4hrs to reach the summit (no need to rush though) which I think we're faster since there's no traffic along the trail. You can start at 6am, earlier the better. We only started at 9am since we're not able to book closer hotel night at 5th station night before our hiking day. Goodluck and enjoy the views! ✨♥️

Hi, can I ask you plz, what time should I start to get to the top for sunrise if I do in one day? Thank you
@Martin_Edmondson Жыл бұрын
From the Yoshida route it will take about 6 hours (give or take, depending on your fitness) but the last few hundred meters can be really crowded and can take a lot longer than you might expect. Particularly in the hours before sunrise. Get to the top too early however and you have a cold wait for the sun. I would maybe leave at about 9pm, and be prepared to wait. Or you could see the sunrise from the way up.. As you are above the clouds it is the same thing. Weekdays will have less crowding/traffic jams near the top. Weekends can be horrendous.

Hello Dear, we stayed at Yamagishi Ryokan night before our planned hike. It was also the last day of 2022 hiking season and hotels nearby are fully booked and this was our last option. We hired a taxi cab from Kawaguchiko Station to 5th station the next day. You can also check the earliest bus departure from Kawaguchiko Stn. to 5th station so you dont have to catch taxi which is a bit pricey. Hope this helps. Have fun! ☺️

@@ShayRNtraveler598 There`s taxi stand next to Kawaguchiko station. If you are staying in Ryokan/hotel better ask help to prebook taxi for you. You can contact Fujikyu Yamanashi Higher Co., Ltd. ,Reservation / Arrangement 0555-22-1800 Toll free number 0120-818-229. I`ll suggest to prebook taxi as well back to Kawaguchiko stn. in case you reach 5th Station in late hours. You don`t want to wait for the bus in the cold for hours as even catching taxi is really tough esp. a lot of tourists are back.

@KakitaAi Жыл бұрын
Nope, going back down you have to take the path used exclusively for descents. Be careful at 8th station junction (Shita-edoya hut) not to take Subashiri trail. Always check the sign board and follow Yoshida trail. 🎉 ***If you go down the Subashiri Trail by mistake, you cannot get back onto the Yoshida Trail. Also please note that there is no direct bus from the Subashiri Trail 5th Station to the Fuji-Subaru Line 5th Station. If you go down to the Subashiri Trail 5th Station by mistake, you will have to take a bus or a taxi to get back to the Yoshida Trail. The ascending Trail and descending Trail are separated.

@@rrynamariano7826 Taiyokan is not accessible if you are doing Yoshida Trail to ascend. Option is but, I I dont recommend it (if you have ample time) you can go up to 8th Stn. via Yoshida Trail then descend to Subashiri trail (30min~45min) to Taiyokan hut. You can stay and take a rest.
