How far is it from the Yoshida 10th station to the Fujikan summit mountain hut?

Hi Gary!

Lovely site you have here!

My friends and I are climbing on the 18th of July (Saturday), and I'm so glad to know you stayed at the same hut we were planning to. I was almost worried why the hut doesn't seem to be that popular of a choice (at least from what I gather online) since most people seem to go for the huts at the 8th station.

Anyway, if it's not too much to ask, we were hoping if we can get your advice regarding our itinerary. This would be our first time to climb extensively and we opt to take the Yoshida trail instead because of the direct connection from Shinjuku. We were wondering if, by any chance, you know how long it takes to reach the hut from Yoshida 10th station? And also if there are any things we should take note of if we were to go on with this plan?

All the best,

Karen
