Welcome to Fuji Mountain Guides
​


​Since our inception in 2007, FMG has guided over 5,000 clients successfully and safely to the summit of Mount Fuji. 

Featured as an "excellent tour" in Lonely Planet, chosen by National Geographic to be shot in the World Heritage Access 360 documentary, and boasting more then 50 five star rated reviews on Facebook, FMG is the travelers choice for guidance up Mt. Fuji. Join our Fuji tour on one of our summer or fall seasons! 

In Season 2-day Fuji Tour (6/25-9/8)
​

Picture
Our most popular summer offering, the two day Mt. Fuji Tour will give ample time in the pursuit to reach the summit of Mt. Fuji. After a long hike the 1st day, participants enjoy a hot dinner and rest over night in a mountain hut at 3400 meters. Awaking before dawn, participants will continue the climb up Mt. Fuji in order to reach the summit in time for the sunrise.

Currently accepting reservations for the 2019 climbing season! 

2-Day Mt. Fuji Off Season Tour (9/9-10/15) 

Picture
Similar to the Two Day Mt. Fuji Tour, this trip follows much of the same itinerary, except that participants will summit Mt. Fuji during the day instead of just before dawn. Participants will enjoy a much more relaxed and peaceful climb up Fuji as the trails, as well as our mountain hut, will at times be completely deserted.

Private / Group Tours
​

Picture
FMG does offer privately guided tours for those that are interested in climbing in a smaller, more intimate setting of people who know each other.
 
This option is good for VIP tours, corporate team building activities, charity climbs, families, and many other types of groups. Private bookings we have accommodated in the past include Livestrong, Girlscouts, United Airlines, National Geographic, and VIP tours for those that want to remain low-profile.

Japan Ski Tours

 Picture
Japan Ski Tours began with a vision to create ski tours which incorporate more then just skiing Japan's renowned powder. Following the same philosophy as its predecessor FMG, Japan Ski Tours has built a platform which allows people to enjoy both the sights and culture of Japan as well as the many famous ski resorts. With any of our 1 to 2 week tours, JST will provide an amazing cultural experience, filled with sake breweries, relaxing hot springs and comfortable lodging on top of the fantastic skiing. ​

Kumano Kodo Guides

 Picture
Kumano Kodo Guides is a small operation of experienced, bilingual mountain guides dedicated to taking guests on a culturally immersive experience along the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes in the Kumano region (south of Kyoto). One of Japan's most religiously important regions, Kumano is famous as a hotbed of Buddhism, Shinto, and a variety of other indigenous Japanese nature-worshiping religions. The pilgrimage routes we walk on have been used by emperors, spiritual leaders, aristocrats and commonders alike for more than 1,000 years. Join us on our private or small group tours (8 participants max.) where we'll visit World Heritage-designated temples, shrines, rivers and hot springs during the day and stay at comfortable, traditional ryokan inns at night.
