Overview
About this Spot
Fujikawa is a surf spot located in East Central Honshu, Japan. The spot sits at the end of the river flowing south from Mt Fuji, where you can reach the break by following a dirt track from the northeast through a nature reserve. The bottom is made up of boulders, and the wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters. The spot only works when south typhoons hit, so it breaks rarely. When it does, the spot provides both left and right waves. The area can get crowded, so it’s important to respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette, especially when the lineup is busy. The spot is suitable for all levels, but you should check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and the conditions match your level. Access is easier with a 4×4 vehicle due to the dirt track.
