Will I get lost climbing Mt. Akadake by myself?

Hi Gary, my name is Kristin and I came across your blog while researching hiking Mt. Akadake. I will be in Japan in a few weeks for work and would like to do a two day hike. Initially I wanted to do Mt. Fuji but then I read that you'll be standing in lines to get to the top, which is not really my idea of hiking.

So I found Mt. Akadake instead. The only problem is that there is not a lot of info on the hike. I'm a 32 year old female who doesn't speak Japanese - would I be okay to hike by myself? Is it easy to follow the trail? Mostly I'm nervous about getting lost. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! - Kristin
