[@TT-oh5uq]

Solid videos!! Cable cars and buses open all year round? Even mid November? Thanks!!

[@nareshdeora]

Congratulations on tackling another difficult one. Nice report Johnny.

[@JohnHikerDolar]

Hi Naresh! I really wish you and Irina were there. LoL! It was a great mountain and quite scary to be honest. But I loved it. Have you ticked this one out of your list?

[@pegf1304]

Congratulations Johnny! Another great adventure. So beautiful!

[@JohnHikerDolar]

Thank you very much! It was wonderful. 😊

Well done! Went from here to Kamikochi on a 5 day camping trip and thought to do this as a side trip as I looked up at it - glad I didn't now as it looks way harder than I realised.

[@JohnHikerDolar]

Wow that’s is quite a long trip you’ve got there. With a heavy pack Tsurugi can be quite tricky. How was your hike?

[@ichii-ka]

@@JohnHikerDolar Got the route from the Lonely Planet Hiking in Japan book. It was amazing - my best hiking experience in Japan with only one day of foul weather, when I hid in a yamagoya (can't imagine putting my tent up in that weather, I'd probably lose it to the wind). Tsurigi was a bit of a shock since my pack was over 20kg, which made balance very challenging. I never forgot people walking down a smooth slab without trouble before Tsurigi which I was nearly stuck on since 20kg on my back meant my boots did not want to grip, with the sheer cliff drop at the slab bottom - could have done with a small rope to lower my bag ahead of myself. Honestly I said to myself I would not do Tsurigi with a heavy pack again. Hope to go back and do Tate-yama some day.

Hi. Thank you for inspiring to clim mt. Tateyama . Do you have any idea that conduct mountain guide.

[@JohnHikerDolar]

Yes, Tateyama is pretty easy. But Mount Tsurugi is quite difficult. My friend David of Kanto Adventures can guide people up there. Send him a message.

[@SimonFisher-m9e]

[@JohnHikerDolar]

[@erickbautista0]

[@JohnHikerDolar]

Hi! Thank you for your comment. Yes, please. If the weather is great you'll get great views of the northern alps and Tsurugidake. In time, I believe you'll be able to do Tsurugidake just be careful. hehe. If you have question about hiking Tateyama, feel free to reach out.

Is there equipment rental available in the hut?

[@JohnHikerDolar]

Hi!! I believe they have helmets for rent. But I don’t know about harnesses and carabiners.

[@sleepdeprived9181]

Take out the handholds and it's dangerous for sure.

Kua Pwede po magtanung balak po sana namin pumunta dyan magkano po lahat ginastos po ninyo na expenses ng Pag sakay po ng cable car at bus?

[@JohnHikerDolar]

Hi!! Yes, please. Try it next year! Tungkol nman sa ticket price from Ogizawa ~ Murodo, nasa mahigit kumulang 12,000 yen ata. Nakakuha kasi kami ng group discount so 11,000 plus lng un ticket nmin. Round trip ticket na un so wag nyo walain ung ticket.

[@lattechoco524]

thankyou kuya

[@ginamah304]

Do you need a guide to hike up Mt Tsuruki?

[@JohnHikerDolar]

hmmmm… if you’re experienced, with planning and preparation not at all. Although, it’s safer to go with a group. 😉

[@ginamah304]

@@JohnHikerDolar thanks for the info😊
