I am very impressed with you guys, very powerful. Are you a climber? It is very good that you are planning and preparing properly. Please come back to Japan again.

Great video. Thank you. I plan on hiking Fuji in September andnhave been researching which trail to take. I think this one will be the best choice for me.

Hi, brilliant video. I was hoping you can help me with few questions I have. I booked the hut on 6.5 as that was only one available so far is the summit from there. Also the transport getting there how did you book the train and how many days in advance. And the bus. How long did it take you to climb it and down

I really enjoyed your video. It was like being there. We plan to do our climb on 16 July 2024… just around the corner! We have reservations at the hut just below yours, at 3095 meters. I would have liked higher, but they were sold out. A question, please… You checked in to your hut and rested an hour, then took off for the summit. Then you came back to your hut again… did they have any problems with that? Our hut (Taiyokan) says once you check out you can’t come back… Any info would help. We might follow your profile! Thanks for the great video!

How to reserve a room in mountain hut and which station is that?

what brand are the lady's hiking pants? they look very breathable

Last question! Regarding the bus from Gotemba Station to Subashiri 5th Station, do you know if for round trip tickets are you locked in to specific departure times, or can you just get on the next mountain shuttle bus available? Thank you so much!

Thank you for stamp info

I think this is the first video I found here on YT filmed with a camera that shows how steep the climb is.

Planning to visit Fuji next year mid - August. Want to know how much in advance should one make hit reservations ? One month in advance is fine or much earlier?

Is it a direct bus from Gotemba station to the Subashiri trail? I'm climbing mount Fuji in July.
