Aokigahara Jukai is renowned as an expansive ancient forest located on the northern side of Mount Fuji. It was established on lava from Mount Fuji in 864 CE. The porous volcanic terrain contributes to an atmosphere of profound tranquility. The early morning and evening are the optimal times to visit, allowing you to run through this distinctive forest while the guide provides insights about the area.
A few kilometers into the run, we will arrive at the Ryuugu Lava Cave.
- The Dragon Cave - This cave was created by volcanic activity and is revered because the deity associated with it is believed to have the power to summon rain. Visitors can enter the cave and offer prayers to the deity.
- Aokigahara Forest - Following the cave visit, we will resume running. Although this segment may be lengthy, the engaging explanations from the guide will make it more enjoyable.
- Saiko Nenba-hama - This is the final destination. It is celebrated as one of the most picturesque viewpoints of Mount Fuji in the region.
After taking in the stunning scenery, we will return to the meeting point by car, which will take about 30 minutes.
