“Fuji Autumn Foliage Trekking” : Enjoy the Spectacular Autumn Scenery of Mt. Fuji

-
HOSHINOYA, a collection of unique accommodations offering extraordinary experiences, is pleased to announce the "Fuji Autumn Foliage Trekking" program at HOSHINOYA Fuji, Japan's first glamping resort. From October 25th to November 30th, 2024, guests can enjoy the breathtaking autumn scenery of Mt. Fuji. This special 2-night, 3-day program, available only during this season, allows guests to trek near the tree line (*1) of Mt. Fuji's 5th Station with a Glamping Master, while admiring the golden foliage. During the trek, guests will enjoy coffee and snacks in an elegant setting surrounded by autumn leaves.
*1: The tree line is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. It is found at high elevations and high latitudes.

Mt. Fuji celebrated its 10th anniversary as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2023. While its beauty and status as a symbol of Japan attract many people, overtourism has become a problem in recent years, especially during the summer climbing season. Although Mt. Fuji is often associated with mountain climbing, it is also registered as a World Cultural Heritage site as a "source of culture and art." It possesses ever-changing expressions and seasonal beauty, captivating visitors with its mystical charm. HOSHINOYA Fuji, a glamping resort located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, developed this program to showcase the diverse appeal of Mt. Fuji from a unique perspective.

Features

1Autumn Foliage Trekking on Japan's Highest Mountain

The stage for the autumn foliage trekking is a course around the “Ochudo” trail, which extends from the 5th Station of Mt. Fuji. The 5th Station is considered the boundary between heaven and earth, and the Ochudo was a special path that only those who had climbed Mt. Fuji three times were allowed to walk in the era when Mt. Fuji worship was popular. With the summit of Mt. Fuji towering above and clouds and the Fuji Five Lakes spreading below, you can see the breathtakingly beautiful autumn leaves woven by the strong plants that survive in the harsh environment of the tree line.

2Elegant Energy Recharge Surrounded by Autumn Leaves

This program also offers an elegant way to recharge during the trek. The area around the 5th Station of Mt. Fuji, where the trekking takes place, is at an altitude of about 2,300 meters, which can be physically demanding. Therefore, frequent nourishment is essential. During the trek, guests will enjoy freshly brewed coffee and snacks at a spot with a view of the autumn leaves and Mt. Fuji. The coffee cups are original wooden cups that guests will shape to their liking the day before the trek. It will be an elegant moment to rest tired bodies while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

3Support from Glamping Masters

To make this program even more memorable, Glamping Masters from HOSHINOYA Fuji will provide support. In addition to viewing the beautiful autumn leaves, guests can learn about the unique flora and fauna of Mt. Fuji, as well as its history and culture, from the Glamping Masters who guide the trek. They will also take commemorative photos at spots with golden leaves, which will be compiled into an album for guests to take home as a memento of the trek.
