What The Event Covers

The village describes this as an introductory walking course around Oshino Sengen Shrine rather than a mountain hike. The scheduled duration is about 90 minutes, making it a short local activity for travelers who can comfortably walk outdoors in autumn conditions.

The event is organized by Oshino Village health-promotion volunteers. It is intended to encourage exercise and healthy activity, so visitors should treat it as a guided community walk and follow staff instructions at the meeting point.

Registration and Capacity

The official page lists capacity at approximately 20 people and accepts applications from September 14 through October 16. Registration is available by telephone at 0555-84-7795 or through the application form linked on the village page.

Because the group is small, do not assume that arriving on the day will secure a place. Register in advance and use the official contact number if you need to confirm availability or participation details.

Clothing and Safety

Wear long trousers, comfortable walking shoes and clothing suitable for movement. Bring drinking water, rainwear and insect- and bear-deterrent items, as specified by the village. Autumn mornings near the Fuji Five Lakes can feel cool, so a removable layer is practical even on a clear day.

The official notice does not publish a detailed bad-weather policy. Recheck the village page or contact the Health Promotion Section before departure if rain, strong wind or other difficult conditions are expected.
