- Konnichiwa, lovely humans!
This time I take you with me on my climb up Mt. Fuji! I apologize for the horrible audio but it was really windy up there! I hope you can still enjoy the video!
We climbed Mt. Fuji during the 2nd last weekend before it closed for the season. Mt. Fuji is only for about 2-3 months every year so it is best to climb it during those months only. Although it's technically open the whole year, the mountain huts are closed. Are any of you guys planning on climbing Mt. Fuji? Let me know in the comments below!
Arigathankyouuuu for watching!

![MOUNT FUJI CLIMB: 🇯🇵HOW WE CLIMB FROM BASE TO SUMMIT!! [VLOG, LODGING, FOOD, SUNRISE AND SUNSET!]](/img/n.gif)
Thank you! This video was the most informative video I have seen about hiking Fuji. Thank you for having so many clips, views and descriptions. I feel more prepared for my upcoming climb. ❤thank you!
I’m really happy I was able to help somehow! ❤️ feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer them!
Thank you for this!!! Super helpful!! Can't wait to climb this July!!!!
Awww glad it was able to help somehow? ☺️ let me know if you have any questions!
the most cute and most aesthetic vlog ❤️. i love this so much🙌🏻💖💖
AYYYYY thank you so much, Ron! Also for the 10 million other comments. lol
Mt Fuji is so beautiful!! Nice video
Mt Fuji really IS so beautiful! ❤️ thank you so much for watching!
you go HANNAH💪💪
So fun, Hannah! I've caught up with your videos na! If I'd stay for a month in Japan, Bri and I might hike to Mt. Fuji. Might! lol We've been into hiking, but just here in California.
Waaah thank you so much!! So sorry for the late reply, haven't been able to catch up with anything on TH-cam! You guys should definitely hike up Mt. Fuji if you come here!
Amazing!! It's incredible to see how international it was up at the summit haha
Right?! I think it was 50% Japanese and 50% people from all over the world. It was my first time climbing a mountain in Japan where I was not the only foreigner around! Hahaha All the other mountains we've climbed in the past, I was either the only one, or there was one other Japanese-speaking foreigner. Hahaha
You have an awesome spirit about you!
Awww thank you so much! I’m glad you think so! 🙏🏼
Thank you for an informative enlightening video. And what a coincidence that you summited on 28th Aug 21 cuz i just did it on 28th Aug 23.. haha 2 years after yours. However my climb was different from yours cox i did a day hike.. from 7am to 5pm. Found it tough difficult and challenging on the way up and strenuous and treacherous on the way down. But i thank God for blessing us with good weather and an injury free climb. What an unforgetable experience!
Wow!! Congratulations on climbing Mt Fuji successfully injury-free and in good weather!! ❤️ and gosh! All in one day? 👏🏼
Crazy that it’s been two years since we climbed Mt Fuji! And an awesome coincidence that you climbed it 2 years later! ☺️ did you take the Yoshida Trail?
Cool!!!!!
Thank youuuu! ☺️
Thanks! Great video! Currently looking into going myself soon (first screeching halt came when I found out the season does not even open until July ... so, I am learning step by step) ... I see your first attempt was Aug 7 last year .. so, still pretty much no tourist .. yet crappy weather ... I am thinking about some time August this year and hope it won't be too crowded yet. After seeing your trip, I am strongly reconsidering doing the other crazy suggestion of 'start going up in the afternoon and hike all night' ... the top hut does look kinda comfy for the night ...
Thank you so much for watching the video! :) You can actually climb in any season(even during winter) but it's not recommended because it's not safe and also the huts will be closed off season! Last year's weather during climbing season was a little strange. It would rain only on weekends and unfortunately weekends are the only days we could climb. I feel like Fuji would be crowded any day you go, sadly...especially if you climb the Yoshida Trail. It's the easiest and most popular one so expect a long line going up to the peak! The huts are definitely cozy though also crowded...hahahaha
Love this ateily!!!! Great job~
Awww yey thank you so much, sisily! Would you climb it?
@@whatchuHANAdo ohh heck yeah! If you’ll help guide me :D
Thanks for sharing your climb. I’ll be in Tokyo in July so I’m thinking about this climb. Very cool!
Oh! You should definitely do it! 🤩 it’s good to climb at least once! Also, thank you so much for watching my video even though it’s super long!
Did you climb up?
@@Buggiy sadly our trip was shortened so we only spent one day in Tokyo. Hopefully next time.
So looking forward to doing this. Although when we did Kinabalu it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. The walk down was sooo tough and we didn’t get back down until 5pm after setting off at 2am. Hoping it won’t be as tough!
Woohoo! Will you be climbing Fuji this year? If you’ve climbed Kinabalu, Mt Fuji (Yoshida Trail) will be a breeze. I promise! Exciting!
@@whatchuHANAdo it will be next year now, as we gotta wait until they allow us in, so booked flights for next January. Hopefully it will be easier as I told myself I would never do another one again, but you can't not with Fuji right?!
@@WylieWestie Yes! You gotta climb Fuji at least once in your life! :)
i would definitely climb fujisan ❤️
Thanks for the video! We did the one day hike so many years ago still got the long souvenir hiking stick with all the stamps plus flag. They sure did improve on the facilities, during my time very few huts going up. Shall I do it again?? I think I will go with the saying "Climb it once your are wise, climb it twice you're a fool" but truthfully I'm just way too old!
Woooow 1 day hike? Must have been tough! Yea there are a lot of huts now and some of them are quite modern! I was surprised! I loved that we could use the toilets hahaha you can climb again if you really want to? BUT there are soooo many other beautiful mountains to climb in Japan! And Mt Fuji IS the view so it would be perfect to climb a different mountain to see the Fooj!
I love that your video is so detailed! I don’t mind the 30-min long video at all :) just curious, how were you informed about the abortion of your ascending plans? I wondered if there were people who extended their stay at the huts to get to the summit!
Oh wow thank you so much! ❤️ a ton of people see 30 minute video and never click…so I really appreciate you!
It was around 1:00AM and we were all awake and the winds were howling and it was raining pretty badly. When we got up to get ready, the staff in the lodge told us it would be too dangerous to summit as we could get blown off. I’m not sure exactly if people extended their stay but no one in our lodge extended.
I think people can extend as long as there’s space in the lodge. Haha
@@whatchuHANAdo I’m planning to climb Fuji this Aug, so your video gave me a taste of what to expect during my climb, including disappointments! Haha
I died when you said smells like tagaytay.
Hahahahaha it really did though! the smell of fresh air + horse manure. You know the smell, right? hahahaha
I would climb Mount Fuji. It’s something I must do. Growing up in Montana, my dad took my brother and I camping in the Rocky Mountains. Plus, I just turned 50 September 15,2022 so I want to achieve a great accomplishment.
Oh wow! Belated happy birthday and congratulations on turning 50! :) Awww climbing Mt. Fuji would be a great accomplishment! I say you can definitely do it! :)
great vvideo thanks I'm going in two weeks and am already nervous...now less so...
I hope you weren't too nervous when you visited? How was Japan? :)
Hi! Your video is inspiring! I am planning to climb Mt Fuji in late August and I would like to book the same lodge that you stayed。May I know did you have to make reservations for the mountain hut in advance?
Awww thank you so much! ❤️ late august would be great! Yes, we had to make reservations in advance. A lot of people want to stay at Goraikokan because of its proximity to the peak. ☺️ I highly recommend making a reservation!
Hannah is it possible for me for book the tomoekan or goraikoukan on the spot ? I love your mt fuji's vlog, it's so detailed
Hello, Ibu! It might be a little difficult to book Tomoekan and Goraikokan on the spot since both are extremely popular mountain huts along the trail. 😔 I highly suggest booking beforehand. Thank you for watching the video! ❤️
When the walk backwards its to shift body weight to slow down. it uses different kinds of muscle and protects your knees.
Oh! Thank you for that! I shall try it next time! :)
Oh eeemmm grabe! No d ko kaya 😂😂 frida will climb daw if we climb together with you. Sabi ko no talaga e. Hahahahaha
Hahahaha I am pretty sure Fridabear can climb it! Kids were faster than me on the hike up. Lol
Hi, thanks for sharing this. One of the most detailed mt Fuji hikes. Do you mind asking? Coz Im planning to solo climb this on August on my birthday. My last trek was 2018, and im already mid-30s. Do you think i should join a group, or is this manageable solo hike? Also, do you recommend getting a hut reservation or just taking rest outside the hut is doable?
PS ps, been to mt. Pulag twice, and some other rizal mountains. Thank you for answering. 😊
Hello GGTP! ☺️ if you’re taking the Yoshida Route(like the one we took), it’s a manageable solo hike. Lots of people will be climbing as well so you won’t feel too lonely…BUT if you want to make new friends and have a group to guide you, then you should join a tour/group! 😊 I’m in my 30’s too and didn’t think Mt Fuji was super difficult. I do suggest exercising and all before going on your hike.
I highly recommend getting a hut reservation! The weather on Fuji can get quite erratic and I wouldn’t want you getting caught in the winds or rain! We heard someone begging for a spot inside our hut during our first hike up and that was painful to hear. 😔
Nice!! I’ve always wanted to climb Pulag!! It’s on my bucket list!
@WHATchuHANAdo appreciate your fast revert. Will take note of your suggestion. Thank you again :)
How many stamps would you say will fit on the small stick? 😃
I'll be starting from the 5th station in the Yoshida trail. I just want to plan ahead so I can fit at least 1 stamp from each station. I don't want to have the problem of running out of space when I reach the summit. I understand there are multiple huts per station and no hut on the 9th station. (Unless you count Goraikoukan in station 8.5) Thanks!
Hello, Jericko! ☺️ I am currently in Manila so I can’t count the number of stamps on the small stick but I do remember not being able to fit everything in one. I have two of the small sticks and I think I missed 1 stamp. ☺️
Still pondering to go up, seems heavily overbuild and overcrowded, have you tried the other trails up? Are they less crowded? Or does it make sense to ascent over night and just descent in the morning without overnight stay?
There is quite a massive crowd but I guess it depends on if you like that or not. Some people make friends while climbing Fuji! I say it's a cool experience to climb with other people and wait for the sunrise, but if you want to avoid that, other trails will have less people. Other trails are a little harder and there will be less mountain huts meaning less toilets. Haha If you are super fit, you can go without the overnight stay!
needed a trigger warning for that rooster, tho. ^_^ thank you so much for this!!
Oh no! Haha I hope I didn’t give you too much of a mini heart attack because of it! 😳
Just want to know how to book a room or capsule on station 5?
Great video. I plan on doing this in july. Can I ask you some questions if you have time. Thx
Sure! You can send me a direct message on my Instagram! :) @whatchuhanado
Which water bladder and water pipe are you using? Seems like it’s good quality. I’m thinking of buying
Hello! I was using an Osprey Kyte 46 with an Osprey 1.5L bladder! :) I switch up my bags whenever we hike but I always use the osprey bladder. It comes with the pipe when you buy the bladder. :)
Hi, I would like to ask if the short stick is enough for all the stamps to collect?
Hello! Unfortunately not, I brought one short stick up the 1st time I climbed Fuji, and brought another short one to complete the rest. If you don’t want to get a long stick, 2-3 short ones will do. I just chose which ones I wanted. :)
Hy Hanna..! How much time it took to came back from top to 5th station? Is it possible to do it all in one day?
Hello, Naveed! It took us around 3 and a half hours, but that’s because I’m quite slow going down and we were also filming and taking photos! Haha
Some people bullet climb My Fuji and yes it’s possible to climb in one day depending on your fitness level!
Hi wondering if there is any scary dangerous parts of the track? I'm thinking of doing it but really scared of narrow edges with big drops or high areas where you can slip and fall a long way
For me, there are none…but it’s always best to be cautious. There’s an area between before the 7th to the 8th station where it gets pretty rocky. If you slip off, you won’t fall a long way but you will get lots of wounds and bruises, and possible get hurt badly. Some of the rocks around that area are quite sharp.
There are narrow areas near the summit but if you stay within the barriers, you should be fine. Always just be aware of your surroundings. ☺️
@@whatchuHANAdo thanks for that info
Hello Maam, i just want to ask if you need reservation for the lodge where you stay in overnight, or when you arrived at the lodge/hut you can just walk in and pay for overnight?
Hello Shukran! I think you can just walk in, but during climbing season, the lodges can get super packed, especially the ones nearer the peak. And the lodges are quite small too. I strongly recommend making a reservation to secure a slot! :)
@@whatchuHANAdo noted Maam, thank you so much for the response :) God Bless
God bless you too! ☺️
rename the video to ' no no no not complaining I love the weather'🤣🤣
HAHAHAHAHA RON!!!! Yes maybe I should? I was so afraid I would jinx the weather if I said anything and it was really the 1st time we climbed this year in extremely good weather!
hi Hanna, how much did it cost you for the mt Fuji accommodations? tnx
Hello, Foserran! It cost a little over ¥13,000++ ($98USD) for a night with dinner and breakfast! Here’s their official website: www.goraikoukan.jp/ ☺️
@@whatchuHANAdo got it Hanna san. save ko itong link para sa next year reference. thank you. cheers!
At what time did you start the hike?
Hello! :) We started around 10:00 A.M.!
When did you climb it?
The first time we climbed it, it was August 7, 2021, but since the weather was bad, we weren’t able to summit. The second time we climbed it was 3 weeks later August 28, 2021 and we were able to summit! :)
What time did you start?
Hello! On Day 1 from 5th Station we started our hike at around 10:00AM. On the 2nd day from the mountain lodge to the summit, it was a little before 3:00AM. :)
@@whatchuHANAdo Thank you for posting this video! Very helpful! Would you hike it in the same timeframe if you did it all over again (get there by sunset, see the sunrise the next day)?
@@paigestieneke1692 Hello, Paige! Thank you so much for watching our video!
“Smells like tagaytay” 🤣🐴
Hahahahah if you know what Tagaytay smells like, BOOM 4D experience! hahahaha
I wish to climb mt Fuji, but the hordes of ppl are putting me off.
Awww you should still do it though! To avoid the hordes of people, you can climb it at a different time like not climbing to the peak for sunrise OR take a different route like Subashiri Trail or Gotemba Trail(least crowded but lesser facilities along the way). They’re a little more advanced than the Yoshida Trail but you’ll definitely avoid the crowd!
