About a 30-minute drive from Koan Campground

It took about 30 minutes by car from Koan Campground.

You pass through Asagiri Highland, so if you plan to stop at Michi-no-Eki Asagiri Highland along the way, you may want to allow a bit more time.

How to get to Fumotoppara Campground by walking, train and bus

Going by car is recommended, but it’s also possible to get there by taking trains and buses.

In that case, take the Fujikyuko Bus from Kawaguchiko Station or Fujinomiya Station. Get off at the “Asagiri Green Park” bus stop and walk to Fumotoppara Campground.

There is some distance from the bus stop to the entrance of Fumotoppara Campground. It’s a 2 km walk of about 30 minutes.

Elevation & Climate

Fumotoppara Campground is located at an elevation of 830m.

Due to the high elevation, a bit of caution is needed regarding temperatures. When I visited, it was like this:

Late March
During the day in the sun, the thermometer showed around 20°C, but the wind was chilly.
It was still cold enough to need the same gear as winter.
Late July
During the day when the sun was out, it was very hot in the sun
In the shade the breeze was cool
From evening on when the sun went down, it was cool
Mid-September
Even during the day, it’s good to have an extra layer just in case
From evening on the temperature drops, so a T-shirt alone is too cold

Fumotoppara is very wide open with nothing blocking the wind in any direction, so the wind is strong. Keep this in mind when preparing clothes too.
