First Sunrise of the Year at Mount Kintoki and Ashigara Pass
Japanese name:金時山・足柄峠DE初日の出
📅 Fri, Jan 1, 2027
About this event
This event welcomes the first sunrise of the year, heralding the dawn of the new year, from the summit of Mount Kintoki or Ashigara Pass. From the summit of Mount Kintoki with its outstanding panorama, the time spent waiting for the sunrise becomes a special experience, and the first sunrise greeted after climbing is exceptional. On the other hand, Ashigara Pass allows people who are not confident in mountain climbing to welcome the new year casually, making it suitable for enjoying with family and friends. On that day, 'Original First Sunrise Commemorative Badges' are scheduled to be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis in limited quantities to hikers. You can experience a magnificent start to the new year at this scenic spot where Mount Fuji and the townscapes are bathed in the morning sun. However, the event may be canceled in the event of snowfall, frozen mountain trails, or similar conditions.
