Has anyone done the full climb? I am aware that we can start at a 5th station, but I am really more interested in doing the full 19km. I have heard conflicting reports as to just how difficult this is.

I am also curious about the times. When did you start your hike? Did you stay in a hut? How long did it take and was it worth it to start at the bottom.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure you don't go anytime around Obon, summer vacation in Japan. You will be climbing alright, over the mountains of people. I don't know when it is this summer, but it is usually in August for one week.

Thanks, I've heard of that madness. We'll be heading up in a few weeks. Should still be crowded, but not as bad as it will get.
