Trip Overview

In Season Tours run from Jun 25 - Sep 5, 2019. It's all about the journey when pursuing the spirit of Japan's sacred summit. Hiking to the peak is only a small part of that journey and we want you to understand this ancient, sacred path on our trip. We hope to help you have an authentic, non-touristy experience and whatever we do, we do it in the Japanese style. At Fuji Mountain Guides we don't simply climb Fuji, we feel it.

We will take you up the Subashiri trail for a less crowded, more local experience. Our bilingual and multicultural guides will help you navigate Mt.Fuji on this two day, round trip from Tokyo to the summit.

Schedule

Day 1
Meet at Tochomae Station in Tokyo or Gotemba Station near Mt.Fuji depending on your preference. This trip runs on "Japan time" which is extremely punctual. Please ensure to show up on time, late guests will be left behind.

We will be at the base of Mt. Fuji on the Subashiri Trail by 10am. We'll reach our mountain hut in the evening and rest for the night.

Day 2
Wake up in the middle of the night for a night hike to the summit for sunrise. We'll celebrate with a hot breakfast and if you're still full of energy you can hike a loop trail on the peak. We'll descend back to the Subashiri 5th station and return to Tokyo via Gotenba station.

Food and Snacks

One dinner on Day 1 (hot curry rice) and one breakfast on Day 2 (various noodle/rice bowl options) is served at the mountain hut. These mountain huts only serve Japanese food such as curry rice, noodles, udon, miso soup, etc. If you have any dietary restriction, please pack your own food. You will need to provide your own lunch on Day 1 and Day 2 which can be bought at mountain huts. You will need pack snacks for each day of your climb.

Accommodation

Fujisan Hotel is located at 3,400 meters at the Original 8th Station. This mountain hut is located just over an hour from the summit of Mt. Fuji and marks the final crux on the trail to Japan's highest point. Huts on Mt. Fuji were built as shelter from harsh mountain conditions. All huts offer simple dorm style accommodation. During peak season, expect minimum space and privacy. It is common to be sleeping shoulder-to-shoulder with other guests.

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 tour.
