Japan hiking map, trailhead access and mountain webcams

Find a hiking starting point in Japan

Choose a starting point before planning your climb. These 9 source-checked locations appear alongside cameras under the map’s Mountains tab. This is not a complete trailhead directory for Japan’s 100 famous mountains.

Pins mark trailhead areas or starting facilities, not live access status or hiking routes. Check official closures and weather before setting out. A webcam cannot establish whether a trail is safe.

• Mount Fuji — Yoshida Fifth Station management center

  Trailhead / access base · 100 Famous Mountains

  This pin marks the management center at the Yoshida Route’s Fifth Station, not the summit or any of Fuji’s other three trailheads. Access to the Fifth Station does not mean the summit trail is open. Check climbing-season dates, entry procedures and restrictions.

  Upper mountain base · 100 Famous Mountains

  This is the Senjojiki starting area reached by bus and ropeway. A walk around the cirque is not the same as a climb of Kisokomagatake. Check alpine equipment needs, trail conditions and ropeway operation before travelling.
