🏔️ My Very Own Mt. Fuji Climb (Last Summer)

🏔️ My Very Own Mt. Fuji Climb (Last Summer)
Last year, I took on the challenge of climbing Japan’s tallest peak — an unforgettable adventure!

Here are a few tips from my experience:
💰 Bring Plenty of Coins
Public restrooms on Mt. Fuji usually require a donation of 200–300 yen per use. You’ll also need coins to buy snacks and drinks at mountain huts. Since there are no currency exchange facilities on the mountain, make sure to prepare enough cash in advance.

🛏️ Book Your Mountain Hut in Advance
If you’re planning an overnight climb (which I highly recommend to help prevent altitude sickness), be sure to reserve your mountain hut early. Huts provide meals and rest, but they fill up quickly during the climbing season. Most reservations can be made through official websites.

🗓️ 2025 Mt. Fuji Climbing Season (5th Station to Summit):
@ Yoshida Trail (Yamanashi side): July 1 (Tue) – September 10 (Wed)
@ Subashiri / Gotemba / Fujinomiya Trails (Shizuoka side): July 10 (Thu) – September 10 (Wed)

🌤️ The season is short, and each trail opens on different dates. Plan early and double-check the latest regulations!

Would you try climbing Mt. Fuji this summer?

☔ Traveling to Japan During the Rainy Season? H

☔ Traveling to Japan During the Rainy Season?
Here’s What You Need to Know!
Japan’s early summer is known for Tsuyu (梅雨) — the rainy season. While the skies may be grey, this time of year offers a peaceful atmosphere and fewer crowds. Don’t let the rain stop you from exploring!

🌧️ What is “Tsuyu”?
“Tsuyu” literally means “plum rain” — as plums ripen in early summer. It refers to a few weeks of frequent rainfall and high humidity, typically in June to mid-July.

🗓️ When is Japan’s Rainy Season?
• Okinawa: May 9 – June 23
• Mainland Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima): June 7 – July 21
• Hokkaido: Rarely has a rainy season — a perfect summer escape!

🌂 Travel Tips for Rainy Days in Japan
· Carry a compact umbrella or a lightweight raincoat
· Wear waterproof shoes or quick-dry sandals
· You can buy waterproof gear from your nearby convenience store!

💦Best Things to Do During Tsuyu
🚃 Ride scenic trains through the misty countryside
🪻 Visit famous hydrangea temples (like Meigetsuin in Kamakura)
♨️ Relax in a hot spring inn while listening to the sound of rain
💌 DM us for personalized rainy day recommendations!
