Vollständige Beschreibung

Aokigahara ist ein Wald mit einem Geburtsdatum. Im Jahr 864 schickte ein Ausbruch an der Nordwestflanke des Fuji den Jogan-Lavastrom ueber die Ebene darunter, und alles, was Sie hier durchwandern, ist seitdem auf diesem Gestein gewachsen. Dreitausend Hektar heute, dicht und gruen und erst etwa zwoelf Jahrhunderte alt, was in Waldbegriffen jung ist. Diese eine Tatsache erklaert fast alles Seltsame an diesem Ort, und ein guter Fuehrer verbringt die Wanderung damit, es zu erklaeren.

Der Boden ueber der Lava ist duenn, manchmal nur wenige Zentimeter tief, sodass Baeume ihre Wurzeln nicht auf gewohnliche Weise nach unten treiben koennen. Stattdessen breiten sie sie seitlich aus, und der Waldboden ist ein Gewirr von Wurzeln, die ueber moosbedecktem Basalt kriechen und sich wie Finger am Gestein festhalten. Wo ein Lavastrom dick war, ist der Boden kahl und hart und nur bestimmte Arten setzen sich durch; wo er sich verduennte oder spaltete, erlaubten tiefere Bodentaschen alten Riesen zu ueberleben. Das Ergebnis ist ein Mosaik aus deutlich unterschiedlichen Vegetationszonen nebeneinander, mit isolierten grossen Baeumen auf Boden, wo eigentlich nichts dergleichen wachsen sollte. Einmal darauf hingewiesen, kann man die Form des Ausbruchs in den Baeumen lesen.

Der Fuehrer bearbeitet den Wald auf drei Ebenen. Ueber Ihrem Kopf das Blaetterdach und das Licht, das es durchlaesst. Zu Ihren Fuessen die Lavaoberflaeche, das Moos, die Wurzelsysteme und die kleine Oekologie, die in den Spalten lebt. Unter beidem der Untergrund: Lavaroehren und Hoehlen, die entstanden, als die Aussenseite eines Stroms abkuehlte und erhaertete, waehrend geschmolzenes Gestein weiter von innen floss und hohle Gaenge zuruecklie, die bis weit in den Sommer hinein kalt genug bleiben, um Eis zu halten. Die Hoehlen von Aokigahara und der weitere Wald tragen den Status nationaler Naturdenkmaeler, und das gesamte Gebiet liegt im Fuji-Hakone-Izu-Nationalpark und innerhalb der Fujisan-Weltkulturerbe-Stätte, die der Fuji 2013 fuer seinen Platz in japanischer Kunst und Pilgerfahrt erhielt.

Die Kompasse, nebenbei bemerkt, verhalten sich tatsaechlich seltsam. Der Basalt des Fuji ist ungewoehnlich eisenreich und magnetisiert, sodass eine nahe am Boden gehaltene Nadel um mehrere Grad ausschlagen kann. Es ist eine echte geologische Kuriositaet und einer der Gruende, warum das Wandern hier mit jemandem, der den Wald kennt, mehr zaehlt als anderswo: die Pfade sind subtil, das Gelaende sieht in jede Richtung gleich aus, und die interessanten Teile liegen abseits der offensichtlichen Linien.

Praktisch ist dies eine leichte Wanderung, keine Bergtour, und sie beginnt ab drei Stunden. Der Boden ist unebene Lava mit Wurzeln und niedrigen Felsstufen, daher sind sicherer Tritt und gutes Schuhwerk notwendig, aber es gibt kein Klettern und wenig Hoehengewinn. Sie treffen sich am Bahnhof Fujisan in Fujiyoshida, und der private Transport zum und vom Wald ist Teil der Tour. Die Buchung ist privat fuer bis zu sechs Personen, und der Preis gilt fuer die gesamte Gruppe statt pro Person, sodass eine fuenfkoepfige Familie denselben Preis zahlt wie ein Paar. Nur persoenliche Ausgaben wie Essen, Getraenke und Souvenirs sind ausgeschlossen. Es laesst sich gut mit einem Aufenthalt in Kawaguchiko oder Fujiyoshida kombinieren und funktioniert fast das ganze Jahr, obwohl der Wald in den gruenen Monaten und nach Regen am schoensten ist, wenn das Moos voll erwacht ist.

Ablauf

Itineraries are customisable as per your request

The schedule below is a suggested plan and can be adjusted to suit your preferences.

Start

Meet at Fujisan Station

Meet your guide in Fujiyoshida and travel to the forest by private vehicle.

Early

Into the lava forest

An introduction to the 864 lava flow that the whole forest grew on, and how to read it in the ground.

Middle

The forest floor

Moss-covered basalt, roots crawling over rock, and the sharp boundaries between vegetation zones.

Later

Lava caves

The underground level: tubes left behind when molten rock drained out of a cooled lava crust.

End

Return to Fujisan Station

Private transport back to the meeting point.

Detaillierter Ablauf

00:00

Meet at Fujisan Station, Fujiyoshida

Your guide meets the party at the station in Yamanashi and explains the plan for the walk.

00:15

Private transfer to the forest

A short drive to the trailhead on Fuji's northwest flank, included in the tour.

00:40

First look at the lava flow

An introduction to the 864 Jogan eruption and the rock beneath your boots, which sets up everything you see afterwards.

01:00

Roots on bare rock

Walk among trees whose roots spread sideways across the basalt because the soil is only centimetres deep, gripping the surface instead of sinking.

01:30

Reading the vegetation zones

The guide shows where a thick flow left hard, bare ground and where a thinner one allowed deeper soil, producing abruptly different plant communities and isolated giant trees.

02:00

Moss, ferns and the small ecology

Close attention to the ground layer: moss beds, ferns and the life in the crevices of the lava.

02:20

Lava caves

The underground level. Tubes formed when the outer crust of a flow hardened and molten rock kept running out from within, leaving cold hollow passages.

02:45

Magnetic curiosities

A word on the iron-rich basalt that makes compass needles wander here, and why local knowledge matters on paths that all look alike.

03:00

Return to Fujisan Station

Private transport returns the party to the meeting point. Longer walks can be arranged.

Häufige Fragen

Fujisan Station, Fujiyoshida city, Yamanashi. Round-trip private transport from the meeting point to the forest is included.
The price does not cover personal expenses (food, drinks, souvenirs). Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Expect uneven ground and some climbing, and mud after rain. Trainers with grip are the minimum and proper shoes are better. The pace follows the group, so tell your guide early if you want it slower rather than at the point you are struggling.
Fujisan Curator. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Only during the official season, roughly early July to early September — exact dates are announced each year per route. Outside it the mountain huts close, and climbing becomes a serious mountaineering proposition rather than a hike. A mandatory climbing fee and a daily cap now apply on the Yoshida route, with the other routes following. Full detail in our guide to climbing Mount Fuji.
Counterintuitively, winter — the cold, dry air gives the clearest views, while humid summer haze often hides the mountain entirely. That means the climbing season is also the worst viewing season. Where and when to look is covered in our Mount Fuji viewpoints guide.
An Odakyu pass covering the whole Hakone loop — Tozan railway, cable car, ropeway, Lake Ashi boats and buses — for less than buying the legs separately. How the loop works and which direction to travel it is in getting around Hakone.
It varies. Many traditional baths still refuse tattoos, some now allow them with cover stickers, and a private bath (kashikiri) is the reliable workaround. Bathing etiquette and how to find tattoo-friendly options are in our Hakone onsen guide.
It was listed in 2013 for its influence on art, literature and pilgrimage — not for its geology. That is why the listing includes places like Oshino Hakkai and the Sengen shrines, not just the peak itself. Background in our climbing Mount Fuji guide.
Two days lets you do the loop without rushing and still soak properly in an onsen — a single day works but means moving constantly. Our Hakone 2-day itinerary maps it out hour by hour.
Most Hakone and Mt. Fuji private tours here are priced for the whole party, not per traveller — the operator is providing a vehicle and a guide, so a group of four pays the same as a couple. The exceptions are the group summit climbs, which are genuinely per person. Each tour page states which model applies.
