At Mt.Koma of Ōiso arriving at Tokyo Station from less than an hour by train, you can enjoy 360 ° panorama overlooking Mt.Fuji and you can play at the beautiful beach at the end of the trail.

Hike to Mt.Koma

The 360-degree view from “Shounandai” is really wonderful overlooking Mt. Fuji, the Boso Peninsula and the mountains of Tanzawa.

When you head towards Shonan from Tokyo direction, it is a mountain 165 meters above sea level, located on the east side of Shonandaira which is the green field of Oiso that you can see from the train first.
That is Mt.Koma.
Until the end of the Edo period, this mountain was protected as a spiritual area of the Koma Temple and logging of trees was forbidden, so the rich forest is still protected today.

The Koma Mountain park hiking course has been selected as “Japan’s Forest 100” selected by the Japan Forest Instructor Association, you can observe the original nature of nature.
This trail is a forested area formed by various trees, and you can also see rare fields, wild birds and butterflies in the Mt.Asama area (north of the route along the ridge).

We saw the sunrise at mt.Fuji from yoshida route (2018/08/28)

ACCESS TO MT.FUJI:

Access to the mountain climbing route of Mt. Fuji used a bus terminal “Busta Shinjuku” located at JR Shinjuku station.
From Shinjuku Express Bus Terminal “Basta Shinjuku 4th Floor” to “Mt. Fuji’s fifth station” it usually takes 2 hours 40 minutes.
However, the day we visited it took 3 hours 30 minutes due to traffic congestion.
Reservation is possible from one month in advance. Because it is a very popular means of transportation, I recommend making an early reservation.
The period during which you can climb Mt.Fuji from this course is from July 1st to September 10th.

Click here for Basta Shinjuku’s HP

OVERVIEW OF MT.FUJI HIKING:

Mt.Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan with an altitude of 3776.24 m.
Because of high altitude sudden strong wind and rain may hinder walking, sufficient equipment, food and rest are necessary.
We stayed at mountain hut to do our best.
Even though we stay, we need to eat at 6 pm to see the sunrise, sleep at 7 pm and wake up at 10:30 pm.
By temporarily resting we were able to secure physical strength to climb the mountain road all night.

Click here for the mountain hut we stayed in

I left the mountain hut of the night at 11 o’clock, continued walking for about 6 hours 30 minutes and reached the summit of the mountain.
The morning sun we saw from the summit was the best, but on the other hand it was cold anyway.
If you go, we strongly recommend you to have enough warm clothes.
Also mountain hut is very popular so we recommend you to reserve it from about 2 months ago.
