Preparation in Mount Fuji
Preparation in Mount Fuji
An absolute minimum set of clothing for climbing Fuji would be:
sturdy shoes (hiking boots if possible)
rain-proof clothing
head cover
Take it from someone who's climbed Fuji-san, do NOT wear shorts. Such a bad idea.
Gloves and warm, layered clothing are also strongly recommended. Other supplies you will need are:
flashlight and spare batteries (if climbing at night)
sunglasses and sunscreen (which will most likely be needed during the descent even if you climb at night)
toilet paper
Japanese 100-yen coins, as the toilets are pay-per-use and cost either 100 or 200 yen
plastic bags to carry garbage and keep off the damp floor.
a poncho in case of rain (beware: many of the cheap ponchos sold around Tokyo will tear under moderate use)
your camera for the spectacular views!
Also bring along at least 1 litre of water per person, preferably 2. High-energy snacks (Calorie Mate) as well as a more substantial fare (rice balls and such) will also come in very handy.
