Early Autumn: The autumn leaves are now changing in the higher elevations and the weather has become more stable. Enjoy your time out in the mountains and be careful of the shorter daylight hours.

Youtube Channel: In 2026 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: Mt Fuji is now open.  See my special video about the updated permit system. 

Guidebook: The 2nd edition of our guidebook will be released by Cicerone Press (UK) on November 15, 2026. Pre-order the new book here.
