Hiking in Japan

Early Summer: The month of May is generally a time of stable weather and clear skies, but this year has been a bit unstable, with cooler temperatures and bouts of rain. Be prepared for sudden changes in the weather during this season.

Youtube Channel: In 2024 I’ll keep adding content to my channel. I plan to create new content monthly, so feel free to subscribe if you’d like some visual information about Japan’s mountains.

Mt Fuji: The climbing season is over and Fuji is still snowcapped. Please wait until early July for your hike.

COVID-19 Update: Japan has reopened to foreign tourists. Hut reservations are now required for most huts in the Japan Alps.

Guidebook: Our new guidebook has been released by Cicerone Press (UK). Despite the pandemic, copies are still available directly through their website for a special discounted price.
