Itinerary description
Overnight stay in the not managed mountain hut between Yakeyama and Himetsugi (can’t read the name due to complicated Kanji); please note that the recorded altitude is not correct (I don’t know why Wikiloc didn’t record it properly), the highest point was 1,673 m, so add approx. 500 m to the displayed numbers; the trail: very scenic, especially the part between Himetsugi and Tonodake, however, this part is also very touristic, and therefore, far too many stairs for my taste have been installed, and there where quite many workers who seem to make more of them (hope they won’t install escalators like in a shopping center); but the view really compensates everything, you can see Mt. Fuji almost the whole trail between Hirugatake and Tanzawasan; important: Please bring enough water as there are not many water sources; of course, you can buy for a bunch of money at the mountain huts, though

Surprisingly, there is really a water source, However, if it supplies water all year long I don’t know.
