Trip Overview

The Off Season 2-Day Mt. Fuji Tour offers a more peaceful and relaxed approach to climbing Mt. Fuji. On day 1 we climb to a mountain hut located at 3,000 meters and on Day 2 we climb to the summit and back down the mountain. The sunrise is seen from our mountain hut at the 7th station on day 2, before continuing our climb to the summit. 
From mid September, the trails leading up to the summit of Mt. Fuji are often deserted giving our guests more of an opportunity to enjoy the mountain and its surroundings. The Off Season 2-day tour is led by English speaking guides dedicated to assisting our guests in navigating Mt. Fuji, from Tokyo to the summit and back again to Tokyo.

Accommodation

Mountain hut accommodation is provided by Taiyokan,  located at 3000m / 9842ft. This mountain hut is located approximately three hours from the summit of Mt. Fuji. 

Huts on Mt. Fuji were originally built as shelter from harsh mountain conditions and offer simple dorm style accommodation. Accommodations consist of a bunk, bedding, sleeping bag and pillow all in the Japanese style. 

From summer 2021 guests are now each afforded 1 tatami mat worth of space. This means it is no longer shoulder to shoulder sleeping conditions, however, there will still be multiple climbing parties sleeping in the same room. Eye masks, as well as ear plugs come highly recommended and are provided by FMG. 

​These huts offer a fantastic cultural experience unique to Mt. Fuji and are a great way of meeting fellow climbers, exchanging stories, and experiencing camaraderie that you will never find in a five star hotel. 

Physical Fitness

The summit of Mt. Fuji is at 3,776m / 12,389ft. If you are not used to elevation, you may experience nausea, headaches, and shortness of breath. However, with proper physical fitness, this can be mitigated. Download our guide to help you physically and mentally prepare for your climb up Mt. Fuji.
