Tips
Payment
Cash (Japanese Yen) is highly recommended. Many mountain huts and small facilities do not accept credit cards.
English Support
While major facilities have English signage, English-speaking staff may be limited at smaller mountain huts or remote areas.
Reservations
No reservation is required for hiking, but it is recommended to check official websites if you plan to use specific tour programs or services.
Clothing & Gear
Proper hiking boots are essential for all trails. Because weather changes rapidly, always carry rainwear and warm layers.
Etiquette
Do not pick plants or disturb the natural environment. Stay on designated paths to avoid volcanic gases and unstable terrain.
Accessibility
While ropeway areas are relatively well-maintained, many hiking trails involve steep inclines and uneven steps.
