10:00-11:00 a.m. Arrive 5th station; relax, have lunch.
10:30-11:30 a.m. Bus leaves Subashiri 5th station. The exact bus departure time is determined by the guide on your trip. As the season progresses, the bus departure time is adjusted so as to account for the later sunrise time. In the event that a guest is unable to reach the Subashiri 5th station in time for the scheduled bus departure, transportation will be arranged to Gotemba Station where a public bus or train can be taken back to Tokyo or other final destination. *
11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Bus arrives at Gotemba train station which is an optional drop off point for those wanting to access Hakone, Kawaguchiko, or head south towards Kyoto. You can select a Gotemba station drop off in the checkout process. More information on this here.
1:30-3:00 p.m. Our exact arrival time at Tochomae train station will vary based on traffic as well as when your climb is scheduled. A trip scheduled on September 1 is more likely to arrive back in Tokyo later than a trip on July 1 due to a later sunrise time.

*Please note: if a guest is unable to arrive at the 5th station in time for the scheduled bus departure, they will be responsible for the additional cost of taking a public bus or train from Gotemba to Tokyo. We do not recommend scheduling airline flights for the same day as your descent from Mt. Fuji.
