All Kanto Adventures trips and events are canceled from March 28th until June 19th.
From June 20th we are planning to restart our weekend group trips with some temporary changes to how we run these events
while Covid-19 remains a threat. Private trips are also available from June 1st. There are a number of mountain huts and camping sites that will have temporary or long term closures, so the availability of locations for overnight trips will be reduced. We also will not be running any trips that involve mountain hut stays due to the difficulty of maintaining social distancing in these environments. Overnight trips will involve camping or hotel lodging only.
We care about health and safety and are implementing the following policies for our trips and will update things based on government and industry standard updates.
All gear and vehicle surfaces will be sanitized after each trip, and we will constantly monitor staff health and will cancel trips if the state of emergency in Japan is resumed.
From July 1st we are planning to resume normal trip operations but with the below precautions still in place but trip participant numbers will be returned to 9 people. Onsen visits will also be resumed if the local facilities are happy to accept out of town customers.
If Tokyo issues a virus alert or returns to stage 2 of the reopening plan, then our trips will be reduced to 6 people per trip and social distancing procedures resumed. If this happens and more than 6 people are already signed up for a trip, then the first 6 people will get priority to keep their space, and remaining people will be put on a waiting list.
Weekend Group Trips
・For our weekend group trips we will only take group members who are currently residents in Japan, no short term travelers.
・Please do not join a trip if you have traveled abroad in the last 14 days, been in contact with someone infected with Covid-19 in the past 14 days OR are showing symptoms of Covid-19; Temperature over 37.5, loss of smell or taste, cough. You can cancel with no fee OR rebook for a later date.
・Please refrain from joining if you are over 65 years old OR have any underlying health issues that put you in a "high risk" category for Covid-19.
・All group members are required to bring a mask to wear while traveling with the group, and during all rest stops along the way. Mask is not required while hiking and climbing, but safe social distancing (2 meters) should be maintained.
・Trip leader will provide hand sanitizer for all participants to use when joining the trip, after all stops, and before meals during the event.
・Group size will be limited to 6 people per trip so no one will sit directly next to anyone while traveling in the KA van, this will be implemented through the end of June, and possibly longer.
・The only stops we will make while traveling will be at highway rest areas, no hot springs, or local shops. Please make sure you have everything you need for hiking in advance to minimize time at the rest areas.
・Any overnight trips will involve tent stays. Please provide your own tent, we have a few 1 and 2 person tents available to borrow, but they are a limited supply. Couples, families, or friends may choose to share a tent with up to 4 people and we have plenty of these available, but we will not mix group members in tents.
Mt. Fuji Trips
Overnight trips with hut stays on Mt. Fuji will not be possible this year as all of the routes and huts are officially closed, so there will be no facilities available for overnight trips during the 2020 season
Group Fuji Trips- All Group Mount Fuji trips have been suspended for the 2020 season.
Private Fuji Trips- From June 1st overnight climbs with tent stay are possible. One day trips may be possible depending on road access to the 5th station, but most likely 1 day trips will only be possible in June, September, and October.
