Your Ultimate Authority for Conquering Japan's Legendary Peaks - With Confidence, Clarity & Awe

Dreaming of sunrise above the clouds from Mount Fuji's summit?
Curious if the Japanese Alps are too wild for a first-timer like you?
Worried you'll miss key permits, safety tips, or waste money on bad planning?

You're not alone. When I first set foot in Japan with a pack on my back and a dream in my chest, I was overwhelmed by questions, unsure of routes, and desperately hunting for a guidebook that actually answered the real concerns hikers face on these mountains. I didn't find one-so I wrote this one for you.

Hi, I'm Mary D. Smith, and I've hiked every route on Mount Fuji and trekked deep into the heart of the North, Central, and South Japanese Alps. This 2025 Hiking Guide is your real-world companion-not just a bunch of trail names, but a step-by-step, emotionally intelligent, and practically powerful guide built from firsthand experience.

Inside, you'll find:

• Exact climbing fees, permit steps, and trail breakdowns

• Packing lists for every type of hike-day, overnight, or multi-day

• Safety measures, emergency plans, and altitude prep

• Top hidden trails, scenic sunrise spots, and post-hike onsen
