If you haven't been climbing stairs to your 30th floor apartment inside a warm building, what makes you think you can climb Mt. Fuji while being exposed to cold weather? 😅
Dunning-Krueger effect. LOL
Yep. Mountains are not a joke. I climbed this one off season in june and I checked the forecast thoroughly. Not even mentioning the cardio preps.
As I understood these bullet guys climb at night. Even though Fuji in particular is quite "civilized" and has an easy road you just gotta follow, it is still a very bad idea to go up/down the slope in the dark cuz the risk of accidents rises dramatically. One slip, one injury and you may not be able to proceed and be exposed to the elements...
Going up any mountain in the dark is risky
In the wet season it is very cold on the Mountain, even snow.
Too many people, especially tourists go to challenging places without proper preparation or research, as if taking a day trip to the amusement park. Plus, they trash the place while they're at it.
The trash problem and toilets are serious. People put trash everywhere with impunity.
Volunteers come down with trash on their backs.
Seems to happen so many places now 😢
We had the same problem in Australia where literally every tourist who climbed Ayres Rock, pissed on it. So now it’s closed.
Just like Asia, we don’t want tourists here either. We don’t want or need their money and their cultural practices are disgusting. 😐
I actually hiked every other week to prep for Mt. Fuji. The highest peak before tackling it was 10k feet. Even though the day time was perfect, the winds at night and drop in temp, along with a lightning storm that started in the early evening, was a challenge. Thankfully, I packed for the unexpected. I was lucky enough to see Fuji-san’s shadow and watch the sunrise at the peak. Following the rules and respecting my environment I also carried my trash with me back down the mountain.
Mt Fuji is beautiful and amazing to view and see, but do not underestimate the beautifully changeable nature and weather of it.
They underestimated Mt.Fuji
Thise tourists overestimated their abilities.
Another Hong Kong man (age 58) died on Mt Fuji on Jul 8th, 2024 just a bit earlier than this video. Glad he didn't become the 2nd this year. Thank you to all the rescuers/helpers braving the harsh weather conditions to save him. I hope he will bring a message home to remind everyone that climbing a 900m tall mountain in Hong Kong is not the same as attempting a bullet ascent to the top of Mt Fuji even during the summer.
@@bugsflowers There are actually 2 deaths on Fuji already this year.
Too many foolish people taking a "tour" of the mountain without adequate training and preparation. This disrespects the mountain. I never liked Mt Fuji not because of the mountain but the people - too many people with traffic jams it does not feel like being in nature. I am a mountaineering guide.
Fuji San will not tolerate disrespect

No, it's "Fujisan", not "Fuji sama" 🤦♀️
Mount Fuji is the sacred mountain of Japan.
This is only a hypothesis, but travel agencies in foreign countries outside of Japan might not be giving tourists the best information in regards to tackling Mt. Fuji. The flood of cheap tourism is creating issues in unexpected ways.
True. Travel agencies should educate would-be tourists before they travel. Even the simple treatment of cherry blossoms in the spring is such a disgrace. Tourists break off flowers and even branches of the tree! Traveling is a right but it shouldnt be an excuse for ignorance much more stupidity.
Nope. There are a ton of information about tackling Mount Fuji online. HK will have all the information he would need if he looked.
Tourists following tourist agencies seldom went climbing up mountains, as they would be on a tight schedule. Unless they hire a specific agency that specializes on extreme activities. Lots of people travel without a travel agents' help. Regardless which type of tourists you are, it is your responsibility to read/study about the places you are going to, especially if you are climbing up mountains
@@bellicose76 Definitely. It's each person's responsibility.
There are Japanese citizens hiking up there and dying too. This trail is just a death magnet.
It's sad to see Mt Fuji, the dwelling place of gods and spirits being treated as if it is nothing but a carnival attraction. It deserves so much more respect.
Glad I climbed it in 2006. Its nothing but a mountain, Marines do live fires there, CAMP FUJISan.😊
@@buzz5969 I don't know what it was like in 2006, but it couldn't have been as overcrowded with tourist as it is today. Not sure exactly how you really mean "it's just a mountain." and that is not untrue, but for thousands of years and even today it has very deep spiritual and national value.
@@Montana_horseman Japanese used the forest below it as a cermonial suicide site. So guess it does have some spiritual influence.
@@buzz5969 True, that would be Aokigahara or the sea of trees. Here, not far from me is a place we call the forest of doom. It also is so dense with trees that it has a naturally very eerie vibe to it. The doom part is because there are so many bears there and when riding horses through it.. there is no way to ride fast enough to get away from them if they should take offense at your presence. 😅
You talk spooky nonsense
I will be visiting Mt. Fuji on Saturday, August 10. I have done my research. I will climb as far as my body tells me I can climb and no further. Of course, I will also listen to the weather around me. I will not test the elements.
The best of luck to you
Good luck!
God bless!
You got research, what about training? It takes at least months of training before climbing any mountain, summit or not.
Alot of dumb tourists are hiking Fuji in shorts and tank tops not realising its cold asf up the top.
Actually not all climbers are aiming for summit. So it is not necessary for them to go full gear.
Summit or not, you have to be a special kind of stupid to go up Mt. Fuji unprepared.
@@WhatIsMatter101 not unprepared actually. If you are just going to 6th or 7th station to eat some ramen and then coming down in a day trip. The temperature at those altitude doesn't require any cold gears. It is also very hot in their summer so t-shirt and shorts are perfectly fine.
@@PhsykoOmen another thing is they can carry the jackets and long pants in their backpacks. And layer up as they ascend. In fact, that is usually how climbers do it for a mountain of Fuji height.
Pack out your trash for goodness sake. Have respect for the mauna.
Trash cultures allow their people to litter like that, this is the by-product
Are you ok? Who are you talking to?
Isn't that common practice in Japan to pack out trash from any place?
@@andromedaspark2241 picking up trash from trash people should be their job?
@@andromedaspark2241
Mt Fuji is covered in trash unfortunately.
Common sense is lacking worldwide, isn't it?
unfortunately that software is not installed in most of the population
There are a lot of people who do really stupid things everyday. I come across them almost every day.
The world is on its way to the one described in Idiocracy.
Yeah, I have climbed Fuji three times. Climbed Yoshida Trail on my second to last ascent with my three oldest children with the youngest being 10 years old. Last one was up Fujinomiya Trail with my four oldest children with the youngest being 9 years old. We made it up Fujinomiya in stormy weather. If you do a couple preparatory climbs up smaller mountains with advanced trails, climbing Fuji during the regular climbing season is not a big deal provided you rent out a hut for an overnight stay. Applied common sense; set ground rules like no running, staying hydrated, and all that.
I prefer wilderness areas with no crowds we get enough of that in the city
This is Japan's version of what you describe. No tall buildings, no trains, no cars, no delivery trucks, no neon, few vending machines, the sidewalk literally ends and it gets dark after sunset.
right?! these tourist hotspots are no place to enjoy nature or free time!
Never underestimate Mt. Fuji tourist or not…
I had climbed Mt Fuji twice years ago and both times my group did it at night. At that time I didn't know that was called 'Bullet climbing' and hikers were discouraged to do so. The mountain trail was packed with people as the different routes eventually merge nearing the summit. When you look up you'll see thousand flashing lights lit up the mountain like a Christmas tree. It's very fascinating and impressive. Btw most of the hikers I saw doing the hiking at night were Japanese, so this practice definitely isn't a 'only-tourists-do-it' thingy
We climbed in 2007 and had a very similar experience. We actually started at station 1 instead of 5. The only non-Japanese people we came across were a small group of barefoot runners 😂. The majority were "bullet climbing" Japanese climbers, which was seen as the best way to see the sunrise from the summit. I distinctly remember old Japanese uncles yelling out inspirational speeches at the top to get the line moving 😊
You don't go scale a mountain as if it's another day trip. Months of preparations are necessary.
Rip to all .
Rip to all? To who exactly? This must be a bot comment, or just some schmuck who saw the photo but didn't actually watch the video.
Spoiler: This video didn't report any deaths.
@@jtomyhope575 i dunno what made you got so triggered with my comment. Rude and petty too.
My comment is as general as possible, and it's a fact a lot people died while scaling a mountain.
@@myeongwol It's a fact that a lot of people died while scaling mountain, but no one in this video died. Your comment generalizing too much it's out of the context. Maybe next time give a comment that relevant with the content.
The same thing is happening in Nepal, ppl try climbing Mt. Everest and die doing so without having proper training. Over crowded and disrespectful to the mountain, leaving trash and poop everywhere.
if you are talking about Everest Base Camp, then you should say that. because everyone who climbs to the peak of Mount Everest has to pay a lot of money and definitely prepares for it. and trash is the least of their problems
Not sure why anyone would want to go there with crowds like that. Mauna Loa here on The Big Island of Hawaii is a climb too many underestimate. Especially the north route. The 2022 eruption wiped out that trail and access road.
Its called group su!c!de.
Its quite popular in the nearby Su!c!de Forest.
Mountains are special places and holy mountains even more sacred. Too many young Asian tourists armed with modern education are not wary nor respectful of the other realms. It is favoursome when even passing a cemetery to address those before us and offer prayers of goodwill.
I have no sympathy for these stupid tourists, they think climbing Mt. Fuji is a day trip, a leisurely stroll in a park, not knowing they need to be
educated and well-prepared for it.
There are stupid people taking unnecessary chances everywhere, not just tourists. Just look around.

Want to pet a Buffalo?
Some Ppl think the outdoor world is a giant theme park. Then when something happens they blame nature for being dangerous...
In Central Australia we have Uluṟu (rock) which started it’s formation 550 million years ago. It is a sacred site which, since 2019, is not permitted to be climbed. We respect the wishes of the traditional owners of this land. Indigenous Australians have lived, hunted and cultivated the holy land since the Dreamtime. Fujisan was added to the World Heritage List as a Cultural Site, it deserves more respect.
I once climbed a mountain straight up without any safety gear and it didn’t have much walking trails. It was really natural with some ropes and local villagers who helped out. This was in the Philippines and the mountain wasn’t as big as Mt. Fuji. But we spent about 8 hours from 3 AM to about 1O PM - 1 PM. I was in a tour group with experienced climbers but so many were first timers and some were even really old. I walked up so much I lost weight, strength and a bit of sanity. I climbed 5-8 floors in my university regularly (the elevator sucks) but even that stamina is not enough. The guide said this isn’t for the weak because some in the past actually slipped and fell by accident especially if it rained. Thankfully it didn’t rain til the afternoon. Mountain climbing is no joke. The view is nice at the top but the journey to go up is not for the weak especially the elderly. We actually stayed longer than expected because some of the old people had to take breaks. Tourists who go to a big mountain in bad weather even with dedicated trails and stairs are dumb.
When you are climbing a mountain, remember that you also need to descend carefully. I remember climbing once, it was so hard that both of my legs felt sore the next day.
go prepared … i trained for months prior to going it was an awesome experience … good luck and take ur trash with u don’t ruin the beauty
We did it for CHIEFS INITIATION, not a single day of training prior too. Think everyone made it, most The CHIEFS were either hungover or still drunk lol🇺🇸✌🏻🍻. GO NAVY!⚓️
Japan should change all penalties to be stricter. These people are comfortable breaking rules. Because they are insulting the Japanese people.
Most "bullet climbers" are Japanese. And have been for decades. Stop blaming foreigners.
Climbers should be required to pack out all their trash and refuse.
I prefer enjoying beautiful nature from a distance instead of trying to conquer it.
I climbed mt fuji last year, and man, the difference in volume of people from last year to what im seeing this year is insane!
準備などせずに登れば遭難します、救助も命懸け❗️
富士山はテーマパークじゃないから
For someone that lives in Sweden, seeing all this makes my skin crawl.
Same with Mount Everest. Leave all the mountains alone!
Thank you very much for saving his life!
I once had a study tour of going up the mountain where you can find ancient human village. It has staircase with thousand steps completely carved from mountain dirt and rocks.... I cannot complete the climb at all because I'm suck at physical strength. And people left me alone. My leg were shaking like crazy so I quit and going back down as hard as possible. I almost die. I will never climb any mountain again.
It's not a shopping place😂 can't go with weak body.
Weak body definitely can, but have to leave huge ego at home.
@@KayELStanbryd some murder him just because of his ego?
Too overcrowded, like Everest. It's dangerous.
Fuji- san debe ser respetado como símbolo de la humanidad, pero sobre todas las cosas porque es Sagrado para Japón. No debemos ir y ser irrespetuosos ni con Fuji-san ni con Japón.
Been to somewhere else in nagano. Have to share 6 tatami room with no shower. Never go again
登山や冬の経験が必要. This is not just a regular tourist spot. Near the top of Mt. Fuji, temperatures are in freezing negative degrees.
富士山は笠雲かかること多く、山頂の晴天率は50％以下。
山道は高山植物などなく、眺望は肝となるが、それを満足に得られればかなり幸運だと思う。
登山の道中なども楽しみにされるなら、鳥海山や白馬岳にいらっしゃいよ。
What is the elevation gain most people do for the hike? I've read 5800 feet.
Please people, Mt. Fuji is not a easy climbing mountain.
Before you climb, please book a place to stay.
Wear proper clothes and bring proper equipments.
No bon fire,don't take anything home!!!!!
I watched a topic regarding this on NHK. Many people don't care about their own safety.
多くの日本人は怒っている。
Tourists are fooling around with the nature of Mt. Fuji.
There is absolutely no way to wear shorts and light clothing. You will be surprised when you see them.
You are not allowed to climb the mountain dressed like that.
The mountain itself is sacred.
I didn't know Mt. Fuji is like this, I thought it is easy to climb up there 😨
climbers should have a tracker on them, it should be a requirement,
Why the blur?
You have to train for years to hike up 1000 ft.
People been treating Everest like this too. I can't even feel bad when one of the mountains take a sacrifice or two. Disrespect a mountain and it'll disrespect you. 🤷♀️
Don’t open. Look at Everest, now a garbage dump.
2:43 Ants on a chocolate cake. 🤣🤣🤣🎂
you allow so many climbers to climb, but you can't provide warm rooms for emergencies
Closed the mount to all visitors
People do a thorough research before going somewhere…ask someone for details who has went before. Find out the risks of danger when climbing. Find out the proper gear and clothing. Research …Research because it can SAVE YOUR LIFE. 🤦🏻♀️ BE FULLY PREPARED.
I guess I won't be able to climb the mountain anymore because it's too high.
seems, as usual, that money is more spiritual than a holy mountain 🏔️. Humans.
Climb a teletubbies hill first bruh.
Completely unprepared for the task.
This is the downside of making a strict permit system: People feel that if they don't push to go on the day they got the permit, they will have to wait another year to try to climb. So they take risks such as this, instead of waiting until another clear day.
Don't blame the permits. There are many idiots who push themselves even when there are no permit required. Plus he went from Hong Kong, if he is spending on flight and all for the trip, he is going to push himself even if no permit is required. More then that, he should have either trained properly for this activity or recognize that he cannot do it and not partake in it.
I just don’t understand what is so special about Mt Fuji or any other mountains to risk your life over.
They misread the map and thought Suicide Forest was inside Mt. Fuji.
Japan is slowly learning the ugly side of globalisation...... 😩
chinese. of course.
Japanese also bro
It's all Chris's fault!
don't mess with Mt.Fuji San 🙅🙅🙅
Mother nature’s way of elimination.
Really..... If there's some climbers that got a death wish might just go to the Aokigahara Forest with putting to much stress the people who wishes to visit Mt. Fuji....
yeeah well, mountain climbing isnt hiking! specially in "bad" weather like this!
you need to be very fit & well prepared, otherwise, its a darwin award in the making =/
They need to stop this before it comes another everest ,they show no respect for this mountain
Awful. People want to climb and have no respect to the rules and trashing poor Mt. Fuji. Shameless people.
The result of a diminishing atmosphere from over consumption of molecular oxygen by burning hydrocarbons.
This happened because people don’t respect the mountain, the climate to conquer it, and that is not respect
What the fuck! Isn't that kind of over populated? Don't they limit the number of hikers for safety?
japanese government think only money🫡
@@prempun1049 But they don't charge for climbing permits or at least not charging much. They are not making a lot of money. They should charge for permits and make it more expensive.
They said they started
fluji you got cold up there.
I'll take a view from the bottom 😅
They have not wear the right gears nor accurate equipment
If you don’t want to die on a Volcano then don’t go up it.
The same as if you don’t want to get hit by a car don’t play on Highways.
Risk,,,it’s plain and simple.
People forget nature is unpredictable and can bite you in the arse at any moment,,so maybe show it a little respect.
If not don’t blame the Gods if something happens.
Tourists: STOP CLIMBING MT FUJI
It isn't climbing, it is purely hiking. How hard can it be? Just dress appropriately for changing weather. Common sense.
Well, it's no sloped roof, anyway.....
domo arigato gozaimasu.
just china people being china.
Raise the admissions cost for tourists by a lot and set a quota.
I have no sympathy for these people.
it should not be open in cold weather.
Light weight alpine climbing is all about speed. I think the main problem here is Poorly equipped people without the necessary skill sets.
Take away all the shops/huts/and viewing platforms and return the mountain to its natural state.
I could think of nothing worse that topping out with thousands of other people
Play stupid games...
I had NO IDEA this goes on! Who would want to go trekking with hundreds of other people? Sorry, does NOT look fun! 😮
Many blaming foreign tourists when it's actual Japanese getting in predicaments.
This trail is cursed.
Wear high heels to climb or don't try.
Provide trash bins. For a rich country, it isn't difficult.
Darwin award going to...
Chinese moment ~
Why not just present a blank screen instead of blanking all the faces!
Expect strong winds until I leave criminal America honest and happy. #Whitehouse tell the Truth #mountain #Fbi #noaa #Fox 🙏 💪 free Goku'' 👑#wikileaks
Hong Kong people should stay in harajuku and talk loudly there like what they are known for and not try to gung ho and disrespect the mountain and cause nuisance for others.
Tourists! 🙄
