Itinerary description
|
Mount Fuji (Fuji-san) with its 3776m high is the highest mountain in Japan. It is an active volcano with little risk of eruption (last eruption dates from the year 1707). This mountain is sacred and venerated by the Japanese and Buddhism. This has led to an avalanche of pilgrimage by the Japanese, as if it were Mecca, where at least once in life they have to go up, yes or no, to their peak.
Recently Unesco Heritage has been declared since 2013 as a "cultural" heritage that is not "Natural", since Mount Fuji has inspired artists and poets for centuries to be the subject of pilgrimage from ancestral years.
Located about 100km south-west of Tokyo, it is well connected by bus. Its official opening of ascent is from 1 July to 7-10 September according to the year. Within this period a large number of establishments are open throughout the entire route to the top in order to rest, sleep and take some warmth to comfort yourself. That yes, at no economic prices.
The summit has no alpinistic interest since the Japanese have turned it into a well-defined "circuit" with a multitude of establishments along the entire route and with no possibility to get out of the established path. Now, the beauty of its sunrise is absolutely incomparable with whatever else you have seen. That yes, avoid getting on the weekend or the central weeks of August, because if you do not know that it is the agglomeration in a summit ... you will discover it!

Com ho veus de dificultat per persones que només han pujat pics tipus turó de l’home, matagalls, les agudes, etc. Es factible?
Bona Nit, Irene!
Sobre el comentari per pujar al Mont Fuji et comento:
La dificultat tècnica és ZERO. Sempre per camí marcat i ben definit. Ara bé, has de pensar que és un 3700m. Abans de fer-ho t'aconsellaria fer algun 3000 facilet per veure com us va caminar en alçada. Intentar fer un cim tan alt és un xic agoserat si no has fet mai cap cim per sobre de 2800m. També pensa en dur roba d'abric, doncs en alçada (encara que al Japó a l'estiu la calor és asfixiant) fa molt de fred.
Ara bé, si fas un bon entrenament i esteu en un estat de forma acceptable, és una experiència MOOOOLT recomanable.
Bon dia! Gràcies per l'explicació!
Nosaltres hi anirem aquest estiu i et voldria preguntar si t'has hagut d'afegir algun mapa al GPS o el que porten per defecte et val. (Jo tinc un Garmin etrex-20)
Moltes gràcies
Bona Tarda, Jordi!
Difícilment tindràs el mapa en el teu Garmin, ja que normalment per defecte crec que no et vé cap mapa mundial. Jo tinc un Garmin i no tinc mapes fora d'Europa. Jo vaig dur el meu Garmin i vaig descarregar el Track per guiar-me per la ruta marcada (per seguretat) però sense suport de mapa al darrera (sols la línia del Track).
Però si pujes al Fuji, tranquil que el camí no té pèrdua alguna (ni de nit). Sempre ample, marcat i sense senders alternatius que et puguin fer dubtar. Els Japonesos són excessivament prudents i molt meticulosos (per no parlar de que és quasi impossible que et trobis sol per la quantitat de gent que puja).
Moltes gràcies. De fet tinc clar que no ens perdrem, però és que m'agrada mirar mapes...

Ho fatto questo percorso fuori stagione (out of season) il 1/2/06/2018. Utilizzato i ramponi per gli ultimi 200/250 m.

Fantàstiques explicacions onofregs . Ens han ajudat a preparar bé la ruta que hem fet aquest 2018 https://ca.wikiloc.com/rutes-senderisme/mont-fuji-2018-07-30-22-24-27792991 . Amb bon temps a dalt estava ple de caminants, però també té el seu encant ;-)
Salut i Cames!!
