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.
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.
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.
