Choose the Day and Distance

On November 14, the organizer lists a 30 km route starting at 8:00, a 20 km route at 8:30, a 10 km route at 9:00 and a 5 km route at 9:30. The named route takes in the Fuji foothills, Hana no Miyako and Oshino Hakkai area. The exact course map should be checked with the organizer before setting off.

On November 15, the Lake Kawaguchiko courses are 20 km at 8:30, 10 km at 9:00 and 5 km at 9:30. These are organized walks, not a casual drop-in foliage tour. Choose a distance that fits your ability, weather and onward transport.

Registration and Arrival at Oike Park

The town says registration at Oike Park begins 30 minutes before each start and also lists a Friday, November 13 pre-event reception from 14:00 to 16:00. Its page lists same-day entry, while the organizer’s page says advance registration has ended. Because same-day participation and event materials can depend on availability, check with the organizer before making a special trip.

Oike Park and nearby parking are listed for the event. Follow parking attendants, and do not park on nearby streets. If you plan to arrive by public transport, confirm your own connection from Kawaguchiko Station to the park; the organizer describes station access by car, not a confirmed shuttle service.

What to Bring and What the Image Shows

The town asks walkers to bring lunch, drinking water, rain gear, a hat, a copy of a health-insurance card and a personal cup. Dress for a long outdoor walk and check the weather close to departure.
