I climbed Fuji San at 26 years old, and again at 50. The first time was easy. The second time I snapped a ligament in my leg. I made it to the summit, and down again, but it took so long to finish.
I fully agree that this is THE BEST video I have seen - VERY comprehensive - describing the start AND end of the journey up and down Mt Fuji. Often people show the ascend but not the descent. KUODS and thank you
In 1976-77, I was stationed at Marine Corps Camp Fuji base. I was there from November 76 to Jan 1978. I can tell you back then the Gotemba trail was straight up, until you came alone side the pressure vent before seeing any switchbacks up further. It took me and another marine 7 1/2 hours to reach the summit one Sunday. The first of 4 climbs that year. The first time up its was a total whiteout. We couldn't see the crater, but just a small shack for souvenirs, food etc. Still a lot of snow and ice were everywhere the last 1000ft. sometime in June, I believe. There was no one else on that trail when we climb Fuji. The second attempt failed due to blizzard conditions hitting our group on the southern Fujinmoiya trail. My 3rd attempt was again with the Gotemba trail with another friend to do a sleep over and see the sunrise. Last was on the Subashiri trail making it to the top in 5 1/2 hours. I was young and in great shape, though the hiking at times was grueling, but I was determined. Reaching the summit that day, the weather finally cooperated to see the crater. That was unbelievable how deep and seeing how wide the crater was back then. I still have my Fuji rock from the top with me all these years!! Japan has a special place in my heart for the people and for Mt. Fuji!
A treat for your fans -- thank you! I've only seen Mt. Fuji once from the air, long ago, and I'd always wished to visit up close. I hope your thumb is recovering well.
@@ITSUKAJAPANTRAVEL Still purple? Oh no! I hope there won’t be permanent damage to this cultural treasure! Please take a rest to recover after wearing yourself out for us!
This is one of the best POV travel videos I've ever seen. Well done! If I might be permitted to make one suggestion. The vehicles that are used to move supplies and equipment up and down the mountain are called track trucks. I'll be relocating to Osaka permanently at the end of 2022 and I'm looking forward to trekking in the mountains of Japan. Thank you for making this video!
Wow, you did amazing. You showed such courage to go alone and make the climb by yourself. I admire you! Thanks for sharing such an a wonderful opportunity!
My family and I were stationed in Iwakuni, Japan when I was 6 years old. My father was in his early 30's at the time and was a very strong Navy man. He climbed Mt.Fuji either for military training or with friends I forgot, but even he said it was a very hike. He still has the stick with all the stamps on it. Wish I was older at the time so I could've gone with! Beautiful video thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your difficult climb, we enjoyed you sharing your experience. Many happy anniversaries on your following climbs. The meals and chips looked tasty! Thank you.
Itsuka-san, this is by far one of the best videos I've ever seen from you! Although you noted that more people are climbing Japan's iconic mountain, still from the looks of what I've seen here, Fuji-san is definitely not for the weak-hearted. Hats off to you for your supreme effort to share us this vlog.
I am SO impressed that you attempted and completed this climb!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I am in the United States and will most likely never make it to Japan. I enjoy all your videos and again want to thank you for sharing! Many blessings to you.
the climb was a challenge but your effort was rewarded with a beautiful sunrise and a beautiful view from Mount Fuji, also im so glad this video got recommended to me back on February 28, 2023. watched the whole video today coz im free at the moment and watching the whole video from start to finish was worth it! i should try climbing Mount Fuji too when i have the chance to go to japan one day!
From someone who would never get the chance to do this climb, I think you did a wonderful job in capturing not only the breathtaking mountain scape but all of the other aspects of what this climb entails. Thank you for such a excellent video!
Wow! Amazing video and absolutely beautiful filming. I climbed Mt. Fuji about 10 years ago and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done! Great work and congratulations on your successful ascent! Thank you so much for sharing this incredible video!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience, Itsukaさん. Whenever I see Mt.Fuji during my flights between Seoul and Tokyo, I always dream about climbing Mt. Fuji. But actually I didn't feel confidence about it. However I am encouraged by this your wonderful video. I'll try to climb Mr.Fuji in summer next year! Thank you so much again for your great video.😊 Can't wait to climb it. ありがとうございます。
Thank you so much for filming your climb! You did very well and Mount Fuji is stunning as ever. I’m definitely inspired to do the climb when I visit Japan.
I am Japanese and have been climbing for over 10 years. This video is best for beginners. I hope many tourists will refer to the video to reduce accidents.
I watched the mountain with awe from afar and pondering am I capable to climb that majestic mountain ? After watching this video the answer is or should be YES !
Thanks this was beautiful to watch. I’m amazed at the number workers who staff the stations so warm meals, restrooms and souvenirs are available to climbers.
I came accross you're video's and watching this one right now, what an amazing climb and the view, wow breathtaking, greetings from the tiny country of The Netherlands
You should be proud that you made to top the highest Mountain Fuji and even video share to people around the world . Now we all knew how well Japanese government organized prepaid at each level stop by , from food , little camping place sleep , gift shop . Thank you to all of your hard work. God bless from the US Arigatōgozaimashita.
WOW this is one of the best vids that I have seen lately! thanks a lot for sharing this with us. You are so strong and brave! I think I found a really good channel to prepare my trip to japan. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
I climbed Mt Fuji in July of this year! Went up the Subashiri trail and stayed at a hut around 7.5 station. One of the most physically taxing things I've ever done. Rained the entire way up but sunny all the way donw. I plan to be the crazy person and climb again next year for that beautiful hiking experience. Watching this video is surreal cause I still can't believe I did it.
My son and late daughter (covid) made this journey, same route and stops exactly. Thank you so much for letting me go with them by means of your report.🙇♀🙇♀🙇♀
Thank you so much for sharing such detailed account of your hiking journey to Fuji san. It’s as though I’m there myself. Wishing you many more beautiful journeys ! 🙏🤗
Wow! Loved the video, looks absolutely incredible! Well done for making it to the top too 😊 Climbing Mt. Fuji is definitely added to my bucket list now 😎
I just got back from Japan 2 days ago. During my trip to Kyoto, I saw the beautiful sight of Mt.Fuji through shinkansen and my curiosity about the mountain has been growing ever since. I am really curious about the view from up there. I have never climbed any mountain before and I don't think I ever will in the future but thanks to your video, I now know what it's like to be on top of the mountain. Hope you had a great time at Mt.Fuji ⭐️
Thank you for sharing this! I hope to do this soon! It was very useful to see what is available and how much things cost, and very reassuring to see that even when the weather isn't ideal, it still offers beautiful views.
Thank you for bringing such a Great video. You are really powerful. You can conquer Mount Fuji. I should not have that kind of physical strength and fighting spirit.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Looks very challenging just by watching but I am so glad to see you made it till the end. Your video encourages me to climb this iconic mountain! Hopefully really soon.
All I can say is "KUDOS" young lady for doing this!! It reminds me of when I climbed up Masada back in 1990, up what I call the goat-trail. It was a trail that took you from well below sea-level to above sea-level. It was nasty and very demanding on the body, sorry but I chicken out coming back down so I took the sky-tram. But my husband and a friend ran down it. He was in pain for two days later.

Thank you! I know I’ll never climb a mountain at my age and ability but I’m happy there are people like you willing to share the adventure with us!
Me too, at nearly 80, that sun has set!

Glad Japan is finally reopening. Plan to make this hike in summer 2023, but hiking it in a single day.
One of the most beautiful travel logs, I've ever seen on YT!!! Best wishes from the UK!
富士山はテレビでしか見たことないけど綺麗で感動しました！あの空の青さと雲のコントラスト幻想的でした🥹長編で見応えありました！おつかれさまでした！いつもありがとうございます😊

いろいろな人が関わって、富士山という１つの世界が成り立っているのだな、と感じました😊。
What a view, especially with the cumulonimbus clouds in the background during sunset, then You see how tall this Beautiful mountain is.
Thank you for showing the beautiful Mount Fuji and your admirable effort in making to the top …
Thanks

ずっと迷っていたのですが、チャレンジする決心がつきました。
思い出しながら楽しく見ました。私は弾丸登山ばかりだったので、今度は一泊二日で登りたいと思います。登ってる時は何度行ってもキツイですが、頂上でのご来光と景色を見ると感激と充実感ですね。下りも長いので最後の方は結構みんなバテてますね。お疲れ様でした。
A treat for your fans -- thank you! I've only seen Mt. Fuji once from the air, long ago, and I'd always wished to visit up close. I hope your thumb is recovering well.
Thank you very much. Fuji might just be better to see from an airplane than to climb it 😆 I hope my thumb heals quickly. It's still purple😭

お疲れ様です〜険しい登山の様子がよく分かりました。今回も富士山登山に連れて行ってもらってありがとうございました。次回も楽しみに待ってま〜す。
