DETAILED ITINERARY

Day 1: Exploration and feasting in the foothills of Mt. Fuji

Day 1
The start of your trip is hosted by our friends at Mt. Fuji Satoyama Vacation and begins with a pick up at Shin-Fuji bullet train station at 12:15pm. Shin-Fuji station can be easily accessed via the bullet train from major stations such as Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka. After a private transfer to the Mt. Fuji Satoyama Vacation base, you'll enjoy a bento lunch before embarking on an an afternoon e-bike tour of the surrounding countryside. Finish the day back at Satoyama Vacation with a farm-to-table barbecue of locally-sourced vegetables and meat. Accommodation for the night is the cozy and laidback "glamping" (upscale camping, literally 'glamorous camping') facility at Satoyama Vacation.

Day 2-3: Summiting Mt. Fuji

Day 2
After breakfast, you will check out of Satoyama Vacation and depart for your Mt. Fuji climb via private transfer. The climb takes place over two days, with the majority of the ascent knocked out on the first day. Upon reaching our mountain hut at 3,300 meters, you'll enjoy a hot dinner of all-you-can-eat curry rice, then rest and lodge for the night.

Day 3
Awake before dawn as we continue our climb up in the dark, lighting the path with headlamps. After a two-hour climb to the summit, we will enjoy the sunrise from Japan's highest peak!

Weather permitting, you can also hike around the crater. After celebrating our summit and eating a hot breakfast of eggs, ham, rice, and miso soup, the group will descend back to the Fujinomiya 5th station and return to your accommodation of choice in Tokyo or the Mt. Fuji area.

*Additional charge applies for Tokyo and other Mt. Fuji area drop offs outside of Gotemba.

DETAILED ITINERARY

Day 1: Satoyama Vacation Glamping

Mt. Fuji Satoyama Vacation is a beautiful retreat site, camping facility, and ecotourism hub centered around the pervasive concept of Japanese "Wa". Experience glamping (glamorous camping) with a private, front-row seat to Mt. Fuji’s dynamic views.

Satoyama Vacation Amenities
Satoyama Vacation facilities include three spacious, four-person glamping tents, comfortable beds with bedding, full kitchen and fridge, espresso machine, 2 shower rooms, three bathrooms, three full decks, hammocks, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, fire pits, telescopes for stargazing, and more.

Note: Private vs. Shared Glamping Facility

For up to four people, the glamping facility may be shared with another group. This means that common spaces (lounge, deck, garden, etc.) will be utilized by other guests as well. A reservation of 5+ people will secure the entire glamping site for your private use. Glamping tents are of course never shared.

Day 2: Akaiwa Hachigo Mountain Hut 3,300m

Akaiwa Hachigo mountain hut is located at 3,300 meters at the 8th Station. This mountain hut is located approximately two hours from the summit of Mt. Fuji and marks the final crux on the trail to Japan's highest point.

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 each afforded one tatami mat worth of space, an upgrade from the previous conditions. However, there will still be multiple climbing parties sleeping in the same room. Eye masks as well as earplugs 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.
