Gotemba Route

Very long and uncomfortable!

If you are descending, I don't advise to chose this route! It is more than 8km long and pretty boring! Most of the route is made of volcanic small stones and the shoes are almost sinking into it. ...

I used it on the way down from the top of the mountain. The large sand run on the downhill road is famous, but the zigzag mountain trail up to ８ also serves as a climb, and it is also a garage, so it is easy to deviate, and I think the difficulty of climbing is higher than other routes. There are few people and it is not related to traffic jams even in high season. It can be said that it is a route for experienced and advanced people, including the fact that there are few mountain lodges.

I attached it in the middle of the night, but it was a sunny night, so the stars were beautiful, and the night view including Gotemba City, the headlights of mountain lodges and climbers were beautiful.
