Are the stamps on the walking sticks different for each Mt. Fuji trail?

by Austin Klotz
(Buda, Texas, USA)

My parents climbed Mt. Fuji for their honeymoon in 1957. Our dad can’t remember which path they took and we were curious if we could tell based on the stamps on their sticks. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Yes, they're unique to each mountain hut.
by: Gary Wolff

Austin, this page (https://www.clubgets.com/fujitozan/stamp/) has a lot of the stamps you can get on the main Yoshida trail, the most popular Mt. Fuji trail used by folks from Tokyo as well as foreign tourists, and which accounts for over 60% of all Mt. Fuji climbing traffic.

So there’s a good chance your parents climbed on the Yoshida Trail, and you might be able to find their stamps on that page. As you can see, the stamps also usually include the name of the mountain hut, a list of which you can find on this page: https://www.garyjwolff.com/mt-fuji-mountain-huts.html.

You might also want to keep an eye out on this page (https://www.worthpoint.com/inventory/search?query=mt.+fuji+walking+stick), which has some old vintage Mt. Fuji walking sticks from the 50s. You might want to click open some of those pics and check out those stamps as well.

You might also trying searching eBay for "Mt. Fuji walking sticks," which in years past has had a few for sale there...

Best wishes,
Gary

p.s. So how cool is it to be named Austin and live in Buda, Texas?! :-) I still have very fond memories of my college days at UT Austin, canoeing down Onion Creek near McKinney Falls State Park, catching HUGE bass. In those days, we used a lure called "hellbender," and after the many blue moons that've passed since then, I often reflect back wondering whether the hellbender still works there... :-)
