Off Season Mt. Fuji Tour Itinerary

Itinerary for: Off-Season Summit 2-Day Mt. Fuji Tour

This tour takes place over two days and includes one night spent at a mountain hut at the 7th station (3,000 meters). The standard itinerary is to watch the sunrise from outside our mountain hut accommodation; however, if the stars align (favorable weather, dry gear, good group pace, etc.), the guides may opt for a summit sunrise attempt. The final decision on where to view the sunrise is made by the guide team based on the factors mentioned above.
