Points to be aware of during mountain climbing

  • The restrooms on the hiking path do not provide refill service or exchange machines, and the mountain hut stores may not provide change services, because the stores hope that everyone will spend more.
    **So prepare enough 100 yen coins (about 20) before departure. **
  • All the above fees can only be usedcashFor payment (except for booking mountain huts before departure), ATM cards/credit cards cannot be used in stores on the hiking trails.
  • It’s okay to bring a little more cash (about ¥10,000 per person). It was originally when the weather or physical problems failed to climb to the predetermined height, and it was necessary to temporarily change to another mountain hut, or when there was a mountain reaction , and when an oxygen machine is needed, there are sufficient funds to meet sudden needs.

Sorry for the late reply.
Basically, there are no specific hot springs. Depending on your itinerary, you can also stay at a hot spring hotel in Lake Kawaguchi and rest for a night before continuing your journey.
Information on hot spring hotels in Lake Huguchi: https://rakurakujp.com/%E6%B2%B3%E5%8F%A3%E6%B9%96%E8%87%AA%E7%94%B1%E8%A1%8C-%E6%B2%B3%E5%8F%A3%E6%B9%96%E5%91%A8%E9%82%8A-%E6%BA%AB%E6%B3%89%E6%97%85%E9%A4%A8-%E5%83%B9%E6%A0%BC%E6%AF%94%E8%BC%83/

However, ふじやま in Rigui Hot Spring can also be considered, because the price is not too high, and there are restaurants, you can decide whether to stay or not according to the itinerary.
