Abstract
Mt. Fuji has 4 major paths to the top and most climbers use 4 trailheads located at the mid-slope of the mountain (5th step) presently. It goes without saying that climbers’ experience on 4 routes differs. In order to have climbers deeply satisfied with climbing experience, it is important to clarify the quality of experience and the attractiveness of route and to convey the information of them to potential climbers who have willingness to climb. This study aimed at evaluating the quality of climbing on the routes by using indicators of satisfaction level and employed a questionnaire survey. In concrete terms, the purpose of this study is 1) to grasp the characteristics of climbing on each route, 2) to evaluate the quality of climbing on the routes through climbers’ satisfaction classified by use of trail head and 3) to make clear the relationship between the attribute of climbers and the satisfaction level. As a result, satisfaction level with some expectations related to landscape from the route, rural beauty and solitude and others differed. In other words, differences of the quality of climbing existed on 4 routes at Mt. Fuji.
