Konnichiwa, lovely humans!
This time I take you with me on my climb up Mt. Fuji! I apologize for the horrible audio but it was really windy up there! I hope you can still enjoy the video!
We climbed Mt. Fuji during the 2nd last weekend before it closed for the season. Mt. Fuji is only for about 2-3 months every year so it is best to climb it during those months only. Although it's technically open the whole year, the mountain huts are closed. Are any of you guys planning on climbing Mt. Fuji? Let me know in the comments below!
Arigathankyouuuu for watching!

@peternacken4730 2 года назад

Thanks! Great video! Currently looking into going myself soon (first screeching halt came when I found out the season does not even open until July ... so, I am learning step by step) ... I see your first attempt was Aug 7 last year .. so, still pretty much no tourist .. yet crappy weather ... I am thinking about some time August this year and hope it won't be too crowded yet. After seeing your trip, I am strongly reconsidering doing the other crazy suggestion of 'start going up in the afternoon and hike all night' ... the top hut does look kinda comfy for the night ...

@whatchuHANAdo 2 года назад

Thank you so much for watching the video! :) You can actually climb in any season(even during winter) but it's not recommended because it's not safe and also the huts will be closed off season! Last year's weather during climbing season was a little strange. It would rain only on weekends and unfortunately weekends are the only days we could climb. I feel like Fuji would be crowded any day you go, sadly...especially if you climb the Yoshida Trail. It's the easiest and most popular one so expect a long line going up to the peak! The huts are definitely cozy though also crowded...hahahaha

Thanks for the video! We did the one day hike so many years ago still got the long souvenir hiking stick with all the stamps plus flag. They sure did improve on the facilities, during my time very few huts going up. Shall I do it again?? I think I will go with the saying "Climb it once your are wise, climb it twice you're a fool" but truthfully I'm just way too old!

@whatchuHANAdo Год назад

Woooow 1 day hike? Must have been tough! Yea there are a lot of huts now and some of them are quite modern! I was surprised! I loved that we could use the toilets hahaha you can climb again if you really want to? BUT there are soooo many other beautiful mountains to climb in Japan! And Mt Fuji IS the view so it would be perfect to climb a different mountain to see the Fooj!

@ThePakiewayay Год назад

I love that your video is so detailed! I don’t mind the 30-min long video at all :) just curious, how were you informed about the abortion of your ascending plans? I wondered if there were people who extended their stay at the huts to get to the summit!

@whatchuHANAdo Год назад

Oh wow thank you so much! ❤️ a ton of people see 30 minute video and never click…so I really appreciate you! It was around 1:00AM and we were all awake and the winds were howling and it was raining pretty badly. When we got up to get ready, the staff in the lodge told us it would be too dangerous to summit as we could get blown off. I’m not sure exactly if people extended their stay but no one in our lodge extended. I think people can extend as long as there’s space in the lodge. Haha

Awww thank you so much! ❤️ late august would be great! Yes, we had to make reservations in advance. A lot of people want to stay at Goraikokan because of its proximity to the peak. ☺️ I highly recommend making a reservation!

@jerickoramos9076 Год назад

How many stamps would you say will fit on the small stick? 😃 I'll be starting from the 5th station in the Yoshida trail. I just want to plan ahead so I can fit at least 1 stamp from each station. I don't want to have the problem of running out of space when I reach the summit. I understand there are multiple huts per station and no hut on the 9th station. (Unless you count Goraikoukan in station 8.5) Thanks!

@whatchuHANAdo Год назад

Hello, Jericko! ☺️ I am currently in Manila so I can’t count the number of stamps on the small stick but I do remember not being able to fit everything in one. I have two of the small sticks and I think I missed 1 stamp. ☺️

@jenshoefer7944 Год назад

Still pondering to go up, seems heavily overbuild and overcrowded, have you tried the other trails up? Are they less crowded? Or does it make sense to ascent over night and just descent in the morning without overnight stay?

@whatchuHANAdo Год назад

There is quite a massive crowd but I guess it depends on if you like that or not. Some people make friends while climbing Fuji! I say it's a cool experience to climb with other people and wait for the sunrise, but if you want to avoid that, other trails will have less people. Other trails are a little harder and there will be less mountain huts meaning less toilets. Haha If you are super fit, you can go without the overnight stay!

@biglittlebirdie450 Месяц назад

Great video. Do you think you over packed ? Your bag seemed quite heavy and given how many stations there are seems like you can buy water etc without having to carry anything. And do you think the sunset would have been as impressive. It seems there is a massive queue to get there for sunrise but not seen any videos of people going to top for sunset

@whatchuHANAdo Месяц назад

Hello! Thank you for watching! :) No, we didn’t overpack, my bag just looked really big. Haha it was mostly just snacks(which can get quite expensive on Mt Fuji), a change of clothes(ready for any weather), and a water bladder. That’s all. :) There was a massive queue to get to the peak right before sunrise. Personally, it was great to experience once. You can see the sunrise from any point on the Yoshida Trail, but the anticipation with the rest of the people who were at the peak before sunrise made the experience worth it. The collective gasps when the sun came out. Haha

Hi, thanks for sharing this. One of the most detailed mt Fuji hikes. Do you mind asking? Coz Im planning to solo climb this on August on my birthday. My last trek was 2018, and im already mid-30s. Do you think i should join a group, or is this manageable solo hike? Also, do you recommend getting a hut reservation or just taking rest outside the hut is doable? PS ps, been to mt. Pulag twice, and some other rizal mountains. Thank you for answering. 😊

@whatchuHANAdo Год назад

Hello GGTP! ☺️ if you’re taking the Yoshida Route(like the one we took), it’s a manageable solo hike. Lots of people will be climbing as well so you won’t feel too lonely…BUT if you want to make new friends and have a group to guide you, then you should join a tour/group! 😊 I’m in my 30’s too and didn’t think Mt Fuji was super difficult. I do suggest exercising and all before going on your hike. I highly recommend getting a hut reservation! The weather on Fuji can get quite erratic and I wouldn’t want you getting caught in the winds or rain! We heard someone begging for a spot inside our hut during our first hike up and that was painful to hear. 😔 Nice!! I’ve always wanted to climb Pulag!! It’s on my bucket list!

@withinjapan2024 Год назад

Hi wondering if there is any scary dangerous parts of the track? I'm thinking of doing it but really scared of narrow edges with big drops or high areas where you can slip and fall a long way

@whatchuHANAdo Год назад

For me, there are none…but it’s always best to be cautious. There’s an area between before the 7th to the 8th station where it gets pretty rocky. If you slip off, you won’t fall a long way but you will get lots of wounds and bruises, and possible get hurt badly. Some of the rocks around that area are quite sharp. There are narrow areas near the summit but if you stay within the barriers, you should be fine. Always just be aware of your surroundings. ☺️

To avoid the hordes of people, you can climb it at a different time like not climbing to the peak for sunrise OR take a different route like Subashiri Trail or Gotemba Trail(least crowded but lesser facilities along the way). They’re a little more advanced than the Yoshida Trail but you’ll definitely avoid the crowd!
