when can I climb Mt.Fuji?
when can I climb Mt.Fuji?You can climb Mt.Fuji from the beginning of July to the end of August.
When I climbed Mt.Fuji last year, people in the mountain hut said that they already were closing ther stores in the last week in August because of snow.
It could be dangerous if you climb Mt.Fuji after they closed and there are less/no people. It will be colder and you will not g meet any food. So please avoid clibming Mt.Fuji except for summer. You should b meetter climb Mt.Fuji only when mountain huts are open especially if you are a beginner.
high-altitude disease;(
Climb slowly making sure if you do not have a headache.
If you get tired, just stop climbing and have a rest. basically headache will be gone if you sit down and rest for a while.
You will be able to continue climbing in 20 minites or so again.
But if you do not feel better at all or seriously feel like to throw up, you should b meetter stop climbing and go down.
Don't worry! You can try some other time again!!
It's not a big deal...
manner and moral at Mt.Fuji
As I showed in Mt.Fuji gallery, there are plenty of little pretty flowers, red or black rocks.
But unfortunatelly, you can not take pick those flowers or weeds to protect Mt.Fuji nature. Also you can not take those rocks home to keep the shape of Mt.Fuji.
You might feel like to bring some of them home for good Mt.Fujimory, I understand, but do not do that, please:)
There is no garbage box at Mt.Fuji. There is no garbage on the ground, either
You have to take all garbage home. So if you eat and drink too much, it will be hard to go down carrying garbage.
We did not think about garbage when we climbed, and finally, we got three big barbage bags to carry down. It was a really big labor.
Do not forg meet bringing big garbage bags.
Not only for garbage, but also for your wet clothes and so on.
Garbage bags will help you a lot.
bees;(
It is really hot out there in Japan, but at Mt. Fuji, it is still spring or winter because it is high.
Many bees are flying in this season. Please be careful.
Sometimes they fly following people for manyters, so wear your hat, cover your neck or arms with towels not to touch bees directly.
They are natural creatures and just trying to find some pollen.
They do not intend to stick their needles to you.
So you should not try to attack those bees for no reason. If you surprise them, you might be attacked.
I heard bees love yellow stuffs, including orange and green, so maybe you should not wear clothes in those color.
It is very bad if you are stung. bring antihistaminic steroid ointment just for in case.
General treatment if you are stung by a bee is, pull the poisonous bee's needle out, push the poison out of your skin, wash with some water, and then put antihistaminic steroid ointment on it.
