Climbing MOUNT FUJI in One Day | Yoshida Trail (富士山: 吉田ルート)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- I 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. :)

Absolutely incredible videography and story telling.this is just too much well done on your amazing cinematography skills❣❣．Thank you so much for making these video. どうもありがとう😉
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! 🙌🏻🥳✨
Absolutely mind blowing. I will be doing this in 2 weeks from now. Too excited now
Wow! Have fun and be safe! Dont forget your water! 🙏🏻😍🇯🇵
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.
I loved your video. Sending my best from California, USA.

wow.....how many people together did clinb at that moment ?
Shout out to the dog which climbed Mt Fuji at 3:09. Good job, buddy! And nice video, Kabayan! I am a new subscriber, hope to see more of your adventures.
Thanks for subbing Kabayan! :) Hopefully I can upload more videos of my outdoor activities/adventures! Cheers! 😍
I did this climb when I was 17. I want to do it again. It was so hard but so rewarding. ❤
Indeed! I`d love to do it again as well, taking the Subashiri Trail! 😊
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.
im 17 this year and planning to do it in july, very excited
I climbed Mt. Fuji in August this year! Unfortunately, the shops at the summit were closed and I couldn't get my final stamp. I think they were doing construction. Were they open for you? Congrats on doing the bullet climb! =D
What’s the earliest you can start the hike?
You are powerful. My Son gets this opportunity,next year 2024 through the US Navy how exciting.
I love your video. What is the earliest you can get from kawaguchiko to 5th station using public transport? What is the latest public transportation from 5th station to kawaguchiko? 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?
Hi, sorry but you can check the Bus Timetables: Mount Fuji (Climbing Season) here: www.japan-guide.com/bus/fuji_season.html
Awesome stuff! We are planning a bullet climb in a few weeks, and this is inspiration to go through with it 😅
Wow! Thank you and enjoy the climb! Ganbatte ne! 🙏🏻👏🏻♥️
Hi there , great video !! I am planning to hike on 25 th this month . Solo hike ! My bus is ti yoshida trail fifth station but my accommodation is Taiyokan hut on 7th station . Do you this is a good idea to proceed? Thanks in advance
Hi Devon, good day! Taiyokan hut is in Subashiri Trail which is out of the Yoshida Trail from Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station.
Please check map on the link below. There are numbers of mountain huts along Yoshida route. I hope you can book on your hiking day.

Enjoy and hike safely! 🙏🏻♥️
Can share transport. Thanks
Hi, thanks for the great video. I want to do a 2 day hike trip with hut reservation but since all of them seem to be full I am planning to do a day trip. What time do I need to descend to catch a cab or bus back to nearby town(don't have to be tokyo)
I wish I knew about this when I was younger. At 65 I think it would be a bit too much for me to do.
Hi thank you for the wonderful sharing. It is always good to take reference from your channel. Perhaps just one comment about the colour grading used in most of your videos. It make the footages very dark whereby perhaps it is best to shown the nature best in its most vibrant colour. Anyway keep up the good work. Cheers..
Great Tip! That's a great idea! ;) Really appreciate it! Cheers!...
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! ❤🎉😊
Thanks so much for the info! I was also wondering if you knew when the last bus tends to leave during the climbing season from the 5th station? I just don't know what time we need to make sure we are back down by. I've searched many sites some say as early as 5 others say as late as 8
Are there any hotels in fifth station ? I am planning to do it this month 26 th and want to do it in a day . But doubt about to get a room in fifth station in case
We plan to climb mt. Fuji on the 10. of semptember. I understand that this is the last day of the climbing season. Are the stations still open that day?
Thanks for dropping by, I believe you meant trail stations/mountain huts. It is still open on Sept. 10 and the descending trail will remain open until Septerber 11 morning. Keep safe and enjoy! :)
Your editing is insane
Thank you 🙏 🤩 ☺
Wow there are buildings on top, a store? Wow and railings too, here in the Philippines, we usually camp before climbing the summit the next day.
Hey! Kabayan! Thanks for dropping by! Filipina here and I just love hiking in Japan. Hope you can experience the mountains of Japan as well! Salamat po.
Hello! How many hours before you reach the summit? Is it possible to start early? Like 6am? Or 9am is the standard time?
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! ✨♥️
How did you get to the 5th station from Tokyo for 9am? I really want to try and do this in one day also but don't know which transport to get to get there?
Hi, we left from Shinjuku night before our planned hiking day. We stayed at ryokan nearby Fuji-kawaguchiko station. Took taxi the next morning from Fuji-kawaguchiko to 5th station since we cannot make if we're going to wait for the bus.
Don’t eat Pringles when you’re doing stuff like hiking and marathon running 🤦♂️ it’s full of fat and has no nutrition
Oh nooo, not my mini Pringles haha!☺😊never had a junk food for a while. It's acceptable to eat something that isn't good for you as long as you only eat a small amount and not very often. Thank you! 😉
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
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.
This is amazing!❤ can you confirm that there was no rock scramble on this hike?
Thank you, the ascent to the top is relatively easy. There are a few challenging parts which are steep and rocky but they are not frequent and no rock scrambling. Have fun!
soundtrack name at the beginning plz?
♥️

Artist: Zorro, Ooyy
Did you start from the bottom or start at station 5?
Hi! We started the climb from and back to 5th Station! 🎉😊
Did you guys experience altitude sickness?
I had it at 9th station. Felt dizzy and had headaches as it's gets really cold even during daytime (12noon~1pm) and air getting thinner and oxygen level decreases. Enjoy! ♥️
hello thankyou for the vid. do we need a reservation?
Hi Dewi, no need to reserve you just need Climbing registration which includes information such as a name, address, or the emergency contact info of the climber. Have fun! 😍
Amazing vid! Thank you. We plan to hike on Sept 2nd this year. This vid helps us get ready and know what we're up against. Thank you so much!!! Do you know if early Sept is rainy already? TIA
Glad it was helpful! Yeah, Sept. 2nd is perfect and it still within the summer hiking season so should be fine. Goodluck! :)
Great video. Where did you stay the night before and how did you go to the trailhead from your hotel? Going in July and all the huts are fully booked :(
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! ☺️
Thank you for the information. How did you hire the taxi? Is it pre scheduled like Uber?
@@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 Thank you so much for the information! Those are all great information :)
😷😷😷 🇷🇷 😮
Is the trail mostly rocky?
Hi Lydia, yes the paths are mostly rock and gravel. I would suggest bring trekking poles to save your knees while hiking. 👌🏻🤍
😟😟🆗🆗🆗
😉😉😉
💢💢💢 😊
😉😉😉
Is yoshida trail has the same trail going up and down? Thanks
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.
Thank you! Will take note of that and be mindful on the sign.
Do you any idea what station is the wooden pole? And the stamp will start? Thanks
@@rrynamariano7826 you can buy the wooden sticks before your start climbing (5th Station | Fuji Subaru Line) and then you can get the stamps at stations along the way as you make your way to the summit.
Sorry. Question again hehe
Is the taiyokan hut located at 7th station via subashiri trail is also accessible if I am doing Yoshida trail? The hut avail in the website is only Subashiri trail
@@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.
