Hiji Falls


My girlfriends Gina Higgins and Lindsey Borjas hiked Hiji Falls with me this morning in preparation for our trip to climb Mt. Fuji next week. After leaving Camp Foster around 8 am, and mostly driving the speed limit on the expressway, we were able to make it to Hiji around 9:45. It took us approximately 75 minutes to hike to the falls(taking pictures all the while), and after relaxing for 15 minutes by the water, it took 35 minutes to hike back to the car. We ate lunch at Okuma's Surfside restaurant and after a leisurely trip back to base (we stopped at one of three fruitstands they had on the side of the road on the route we took up to Nago), made it home by 4pm.


Hiji Falls is open from 9am-4pm and it costs 300yen per adult and 200 yen per child. Children under 3 yrs old are FREE.
