Ok so i did this last week. One thing no one mentions is this. I bought my bus ticket from shinjuku station to 5th station with my credit card. I didnt buy a return ticket because i didnt know what time i would be down mountain but the guy said you can just buy ticket back to shinjuku at 5th station bus terminal. When i got back to 5th station I find out they dont take credit card, theres no atms anywhere at 5th station and no money exchange anywhere. So there i was with plenty of us dollars and just a few yen ,not enough to buy bus ticket. It took me and hour walking up to strangers asking to please exchange yen for my us dollars. Half looked at me crazy, i would have too. Finally i found some guy and i gave him a deal i was desperate. $100 usd for 10,000 yen. I lost out on 4,000 yen but i was happy to get outta there. Bring plenty of yen to buy bus ticket back if you dont have one already. Other than that great experience. 🤙🏽

I like your video of your climb up Mt Fugi, it brought back fond memories. I climbed Mt Fugi while I was stationed in Yokota AFB. The year was 1985. I still have my stick with all the stamps and the flag and a pennant from 3100 m. Back then, the stamps where 100 yen. Each station had a fire with a kettle on top. And a branding rod with the stamp on it. If you wanted to rest, it was 2000 yen for 3 hours. You would lay down on a bamboo floor. The bathrooms were out-houses. You can tell your getting close to a resting area when the smell got stronger. I started my climb with 6 other airmen at 9pm and reached the summit at 5:30 am. It was a very rare clear morning. I could see a carnival with a Ferris wheel at the bottom of the mountain. I like your comment on questioning the climb. It seems it took a long time to get back to the main station. Food wise, a small soda cost 100yen at the bottom and 300yen at the summit. At the time you could carry a bicycle to the top and ride it down the gravel slide. The record climb at the time was done by a US Marine in 3 hours. Also, there was a woman who was over 100 yrs. old who did the climb in 3 days. Always keep your stick. The stamps do not fade, nor the memories.

That was an excellent video. Thank you for making that and sharing!

Really enjoyed your hike up Fuji, the vending machine on the top did make me chuckle too. Excellent camera shots throughout this video. Best wishes to all the team

Doing ascent with friends in 3 days, most of info you conveyed nicely. For people considering the climb, do prepare properly. Huts reservation, clothing, gear, food, money, powerbanks etc. We also bought oxygen bottles to aid if anyone develops altitude sickness - nothing like proper oxygen tanks, of course, but better than nothing. Really looking forward the climb. Thanks again for great video on topic! :-) 🎉

probably the most informative video on Mt Fuji I've ever watched. honestly didn't expect to pay for the toilet. 😅
@nolantran1081
climbed it and honestly even tho it was mostly foggy, we had some nice views at night and sunrise. makes it more cool to hike while its thundering.
@OmnipresentOneness
Such a comprehensive guide. Thank you!
@RoyandAimee
What a great experience climbing Mt. Fuji was! We were so lucky with the perfect weather 😊
@nihon-daisuki8673
4:22 that gorgeous, stunning view and sunrise is to die for. Nothing like it in. I can think of a few states in the US that offers something similar to that I would love to see and wale up to.
@canele24
One of my bucket list things to do .. hope one day I can ❤
@mindcontrolhk
I really like your smile! I will go mt fuji next month too, thank you for the tips
@debbiegardner7930
What a great informative video. That sunrise was to die for. This one’s definitely on my bucket list now. Think I will have to “ borrow” those hiking sticks. 🤣
@KenHash
Great video. Very informative.
@jacksonalonzo4903
Here in Washington State we have Mt. St. Helens. Most people that climb that will start in the morning when it's still dark. It's about 8 miles in total. No huts on mt. St. Helens.
@walkseeworld888
Great VDO ❤thx u for all details. Mt Fuji is my next trip.
@nvthevngmailcom
Thanks for your time making this interesting video 🎉
@UncleTravelingMatt2
I’d love to hike Mount Fuji, that’d be wild. I’m from the US and we have lots of tall mountains here. I’ve hiked a lot here in New England which has lots of smaller but challenging mountains.
@lojexpert
Really nice video, I will prepare to go there with you nice tips! Thank you
