Youtube Channel: In 2024 I’ll keep adding content to my channel. I plan to create new content monthly, so feel free to subscribe if you’d like some visual information about Japan’s mountains.

Mt Fuji: The climbing season is here. The Yoshida route now requires a climbing permit and will be closed at night.

COVID-19 Update: Japan is filled with record numbers of foreign tourists. Hut reservations are now required for most huts in the Japan Alps.
