ABOUT
FUJI MOUNTAIN GUIDES
Mission Statement
We strive to provide our guests with the safest, most enjoyable, and unforgettable Mt. Fuji climbing experience. It is our goal to bridge the cultural gap by removing language barriers and immersing our guests in the rich history and culture of Japan.
Our Values
Safety
At Fuji Mountain Guides, our number one priority is safety during your Mt. Fuji tour. There are significant elements of risk in alpine tours such as rock fall, slipping, high winds, and severe cold that can be managed, but not eliminated. Fuji Mountain Guides practices safe alpine travel techniques and conservative decision making to help minimize these risks while you climb.
Every guide on your climb is equipped with a first aid kit. Cell phones will be carried for emergency contact in case of evacuation. If you have any medical conditions that may put you at risk or impede your performance at high altitude please consult a physician before considering joining a tour. The trip is not recommended for those with heart related illnesses.
