8 Hikes In Japan That Are Better Than Mt Fuji



8 Hikes In Japan That Are Better Than Mt Fuji

My hot take is that Fuji is actually one of the most boring hikes you can do in Japan, especially when you compare it any of these! I’ve lived in Japan for over 10yrs now and go hiking every single year – these are my favourites!

    Nice video! I saw several shots with a lot of tents, is it allowed to stay in a tent (e.g. in case a hut is fully booked)?

    Amazing video. I am going to kamikochi this year so it made me so happy to hear your thoughts on it!! I cannot wait to see the area:) I will be there beginning of november though, so I have to skip this hike sadly

    Love your work.
    These are really good choices. 
    I'd also recommend the Tanigawa ⇔ Sennokura traverse. Gorgeous locations, few people but also no services except at the ends.
