When I guide groups up Mt. Fuji, I'm working for Japan Adventures (Kanto Adventures). Dave, who runs the company, is the best in the business. I'm happy and proud to work with and for him at various times through the year.

James will publish his video of the hike sometime in July. I'll link to that in the description as soon as it's up.
Interested in hiking Mt Fuji? If you're in good shape, I recommend beating the crowds and hitting up Dave at Kanto Adventures for a guided hike during the off-season. I love working with him and will be doing guiding Fuji hikes for his company as much as my schedule allows in the next couple years!
Thanks again, Q! This was an amazing day and I can't thank you enough for the experience and guidance! My video is finally live (After some delay from another project) but thanks again for being apart of it!
As a fellow disabled person, it’s always great to see another disabled person included in travel vids :) thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad that you liked it! Thanks!
Thanks for the motivational video! I also have to say that James blows my mind with his navigational skills!
Yeah, it was amazing to see!
High fives for the clear communication between the two of you 🎉
Thanks!
This was really special, thank you for sharing this with us! ❤️
So glad that you enjoyed it!! Thanks!
Really beautiful scenery and the duo of you and James was just super wholesome.
Keep it up with the videos mate, you're doing a great job!
So glad you liked it! Thanks!!
1042 hikes of Mt Fuji? Bloody hell that man can hike
Yeah, Saito-san is a machine!
Thanks again Quinlan for an amazing video. It's great to see all the excitment on James' face as he wa trekkimg and his grit an perserverance.
His experience brings a question to mind, what type of boots are reccommended for a climb up mt. Fuji? From the height you got it looks like an approach boot/bouldering boot would be ideal.
It'd be fun to see a gear breakdown video. Especially differences between different types of climbs, hikes, terrain.
Sure- the type of gear changes with the season, but for boots his problem was that they didn't fit right I think. Also having good wool socks is vital! But yeah- thanks for the the video suggestion, that would be straightforward to make!
@@GoNorthJapan thanks Quinlan! I'll keep an eye out for it!
Quinlan you did a fantastic job guiding him! My uncle is blind, so this episode hits home for me. When my uncle was younger, my mom always had him climbing trees, skiing, hiking, sled riding and so on. Just because he couldn’t see, doesn’t mean he can’t do things. So happy you two had a wonderful hike!!! As always love the channel 😊
So glad you liked it! Fun to imagine your uncle climbing trees and sledding!
There is something rather lovely about all those little conversations and connections you have with the people you encounter on your mountain hikes and how the shared experience brings you all together like that. It was really great watching James get the opportunity to climb mount Fuji and play some Pokémon up there. As someone whose disability (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) has left me housebound over the past 3 years due to effects the pandemic has had on my condition, this video was incredibly moving for me. I'm not currently able to travel to Japan or to climb mountains, indeed at the moment I'm working on the challenging (for me) project of just getting out of the house for some 40 minutes to an hour long walks, but one thing I can say is that I'm super proud to wear my GoNorth Japan tee-shirts whilst doing so, as this channel is always an inspiration for me.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! And thanks so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it! I hope that you are able to make longer and longer excursions outside! Long walks can be great!
Hi Quinlan thank you for sharing this brilliant video, especially getting up at ‘stupid o’clock’!It’s always amazing seeing the differences in the weather as you go up and down a mountain. Meeting new people and making new friends is a fantastic reason for hiking Mt Fuji. I look forward to seeing James release his video of this hike, it’s interesting to see and hear other people’s thoughts of a shared experience. Looking forward to the next adventure, best wishes to you
Thanks! Yeah- I'm really excited to his video of that day as well!
The best hike ever ❤😊
Thanks!!
Rental boots are not a good choice for a good hiking.
Yeah, not ideal..
Loved this video!
Thanks!!
Wow! This is incredible!! What an amazing experience each and every time. Thank you for sharing this with us.
So glad that you liked it! Thanks!
Excellent work getting as high as you did. I assume Pokemon GO has stops or gyms along the trail.
My pronunciation was unclear.. it was an older game called Pokemon GOLD. So I think the last final boss battle had a background that was Mt. Fuji. He did it on some kind of Gameboy Advance or something.
I was never into Pokemon when it was first coming into North America. Saw some of the first TV season (anime) sometime after it had aired in Japan and was dubbed for North America. I remember seeing the ads for the trading card game (TCG) and the earlier games.
Did some quick research. The mountain that appears ingame is called Mt. Silver, which is based on Mt. Fuji. In the Pokemon universe, there is a cave network inside the mountain.
Awesome inspiring video Quinlin. Great job to James in getting as far as he did on that challenging climb!😎👍
He's tough!
This is amazing. I would not even be able to hike it in my current condition and this man just goes up to the top while being blind. Amazing!
Yeah, he really is an amazing guy!
Q dawg is the hero we need ! ❤🔥🏴☠️🌎🌍🌏
lol thx
Thank you so much! This is the video I needed today, completely engaging and deeply moving.
So glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks!!
Seeing these videos about Mt Fuji really gets me pumped to return to Japan and try to hike it, even tho I never hiked any mountain before.
Glad it's got you psyched! But you might want to try a smaller mountain or two as a warm-up first!
I found your channel through Chris's channel, just wanted to say that I'm glad I stumbled on your content, great stuff and thanks for sharing!
Thanks, and welcome! I've been away and swamped with work, so I haven't made a video in a while, but will get back on it soon!
That doesn't look nearly as bad as the in-season videos I've seen of Mt Fuji.
For Dr. Rath all I have to say is NERD! I never wear my MIT jacket in Japan. :)
Ahahaha
What an amazing accomplishment. Well done, you two! 💪👏
Thank you!
What an amazing thing to do, kudos to you both.
Thanks!
Amazing. One day I must do it.
Definitely!
Danke!
Thank you so much!!
Hi. Have you ever been to the northern part of Honshu? Next year I would like to explore it.
That's my home turf!
@@GoNorthJapan wow cool. What do you recommend?
@@livinginthisgalaxy7961 that's what most of my videos are about!
@@GoNorthJapan ok thx. I'll check it out. Greetings from Belgium
