This is the last entry of the long long Mt Fuji series! I don't think that I will climb Mt Fuji again, but I will list up my equipment list for my memories. I didn't use much of the food I took with me, so if you don't like to carry a heavy bag, I recommend that you buy some instant food and drinks at the mountain huts (but I think they open only in July and August). The prices are as high as Mt Fuji, so you need to take some cash with you. The walking stick costs ¥1,000 and all the stamps for my stick cost ¥3,300. I also spent ¥6,500 to stay at the mountain hut and about ¥1,500 for plastic PET bottles of water and tea.

This is my equipment list:


Food (I marked it "○" for food I had and "X" for food I didn't eat):

○ Evian 500ml, ¥104
○ Pocari Sweat 500ml, ¥104
X Calorie Mate Block
○ Calorie Mate Jelly, ¥165 (I had it at home for breakfast)
○ Dried and pickled plums, brown sugar flavour, ¥104 (I had a few)
X Dried and pickled plums, ¥104
○ AQUARIUS powder (for 750ml of water), ¥104
○ Balance Up Fruit Cream Bran Blueberry Cream, ¥102 (I had only two buiscuits)
○ Balance Up Fruit Cream Bran Strawberry and Raspberry Cream, ¥102 (I had only two buiscuits)
X Snickers
X Tinned cooked sanma fish (I didn't take it because it was heavy)
○ Citric acid lemon flavoured drops, ¥104 (I had one in the bed)
○ Alfort mini chocolate buiscuits, ¥104 (I had a few)
