Encouragement of Climb

Aoi, Hinata and Kokona visit an indoor rock climbing gym. Aoi is scared, but they meet up with Kaede who explains the basics of bouldering. Will Aoi be able to push through her fears and make it to the goal?

Kaede has always worn sports bras, but it's time for a change! She heads to the store with the rest of the girls to try something new.

A special show featuring the top ten scenes from the anime. The scenes are from familiar episodes, but with different viewpoints.

Aoi spends most of her time alone, but an old friend from middle school has arrived to make good on an old promise.

With the help of Hinata's dad, the girls familiarize themselves with the necessary gear to climb.

Hinata convinces Aoi to try climbing a mountain, but Aoi thinks they should start with a small mountain and work their way up to the big ones.

Aoi and Hinata put up a real tent in Hinata's yard! Afterwards, Kaede and Kokona join them and they cook a meal outside together. They camp in the tent overnight and get excited about climbing mountains soon.

Hinata, Kaede and Kokona meet to discuss secret plans to surprise Aoi with a special view of Mt. Fuji, and decide on climbing Mt. Mitsutouge together. They meet up with Aoi and begin the climb, but they are steadfast in keeping the surprise a secret from her until the top!

The girls continue their climb up Mt. Mitsutouge and discover plenty of interesting things. The climb gets more difficult, but Kaede shares some wisdom with Aoi. After a difficult part, Hinata is finally able to surprise Aoi with a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji!

Wanting to repay Hinata for the souvenir she got her from Mt. Fuji, Aoi invites her for a late night climb up Mt. Tsukuba to treat her to a night view at the top. Arriving at the top, Aoi resolves to once again take on Mt. Fuji.

Finding that she won't be able to take on Mt. Fuji again until next summer, Aoi goes with Hinata and Kaede to look at some hiking shoes. Initially sceptical of their price and heaviness, Aoi finds some shoes she likes and climbs up Mt. Tenran to break them in.

Aoi decides to tackle the Hanno Alps, inevitably finding the experience pretty tough by herself. She is soon joined by Kokona, who accompanies her to Nenogongen to look at the shrines.

Aoi once made a promise, but to whom? That person’s name — and the ambition it inspires — is on the tip of her tongue… and on the top of a distant peak!

Mt. Fuji awaits! What will Aoi and her friends see from that legendary summit? The peak is in reach... but will they all make it to the top?

Think you can’t climb a mountain in Tokyo? Think again! The Success Steps of the Atago Shrine are right around the corner.
