Mount Fuji is a symbol of Japan, and as the highest mountain in Japan,
boasting an elevation of 3,776 meters, it attracts many climbers from both
within Japan and overseas.

Its appeal was further enhanced when it was registered as a UNESCO World
Cultural Heritage site in 2013.

The Yoshida-guchi route is a popular hiking trail that even beginners can
safely attempt because it has well-maintained mountain huts and rest areas.

Upon arrival at the 5th station of the Fuji Subaru Line, you will meet and be
accompanied by a guide certified by the International Mountain Leaders
Federation who is fluent in English and Chinese, ensuring a safe and secure
climb.

We made our way to the mountain hut at the eighth station, taking breaks along
the way, and after a short nap there, we set off again in the middle of the
night.

The sunrise from the mountaintop is a breathtaking sight that will leave you
speechless! It will be an unforgettable and moving moment in your life.
(Please note that depending on the weather and crowd conditions, it may not be
possible to reach the mountaintop.)

Afterward, you will descend safely under the guidance of a dedicated Mount
Fuji guide.

[About Mount Fuji climbing guides]

• Please be aware that mountain climbing carries risks of illness, injury, damage, and loss, and that you will be going to areas far from medical facilities. Guided tours minimize these risks. Even with a guided tour, ultimately, you are responsible for your own safety during your climb.

  
  

• Guided tours will join other tours from various locations at the 5th station, where a dedicated Mt. Fuji guide will provide guidance throughout the climb. The guide will accompany you from the 5th station to the mountain huts and from the huts to the summit. However, during the descent from the summit, you may be asked to descend independently under the guide's instructions.

  
  

• During the climb, for your safety, you must always follow the guide's instructions. The guide will check your climbing equipment, and if your equipment is inadequate, you fail to follow the guide's instructions, or you are deemed unwell or insufficiently fit by the guide, you may be forced to retire or leave the group for safety reasons at the guide's discretion. In such cases, no refunds or compensation will be provided.

  
  

• If your equipment is insufficient or inadequate, your mountain guide or local staff may advise you to rent or purchase additional equipment.

  
  

• If a customer's equipment is inadequate, they may be forced to retire from the climb at the discretion of the "mountain guide on the day," "local staff," "mountain hut," or "safety guidance center." In such cases, no refunds will be given, so please be aware of this in advance.

  
  

[About the hiking route]

• There are forks in the descent paths on each route (Yoshida and Fujinomiya). If you take the wrong descent path, you will be responsible for arranging and paying for a return trip or rejoining the group midway. Even if you rejoin the group midway, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to continue the tour from that point onward. Please be careful.

[Notes on climbing Fuji]

• Both the Yoshida Trail and the Fujinomiya Trail are at altitudes exceeding 2,000 meters. During the climb, the air is thin, and there is a risk of altitude sickness. Therefore, please take extra care of your physical condition on the day of departure, avoiding sleep deprivation and hangovers.
• There is a significant temperature difference between the lowlands and the mountaintop, and temperatures at the summit can drop below freezing even in midsummer, so please take sufficient precautions against the cold, wind, and water.
• If you have to abandon your climb midway due to illness or other reasons, and end up staying or resting at a mountain hut other than the one you were scheduled to stay at that day, you will be responsible for the accommodation and rest fees, and no refund will be given for the tour price. Also, you will be responsible for your own descent, and a guide will not be able to accompany you.
• Depending on the weather and the route, you may not be able to see the sunrise. Also, during peak seasons, you may not be able to reach the summit due to congestion on the hiking trails.

• The walking times within the course are approximate and may change significantly depending on mountain conditions.

  
  

• From the fifth station of Mt. Fuji upwards, toilets are pay-per-use (approximately 100-300 yen per use), so please have some small change ready.

  
  

• Water is precious on Mount Fuji and all water is subject to a charge. Please factor in any water use other than drinking water and prepare accordingly.

  
  

• When climbing Mt. Fuji, please make an effort to avoid leaving any trash behind. To do this, bring a trash bag and take your trash home with you. Do not throw cigarette butts on the hiking trails.

  
  

[About mountain huts]

• Mountain huts used on climbing tours are different from regular accommodations (hotels, inns, etc.). They are primarily facilities for short rest and sleep.

• The mountain huts are mixed-gender shared rooms, and during peak times, each person may be allocated less than one tatami mat in space. Bedding (pillow, futon, blanket) or sleeping bags are provided.

  
  

• Dinner at the mountain hut will be a simple meal such as curry rice. Breakfast will be a packed lunch.

  
  

• There are no baths, showers, or washrooms. Toilets are available for a fee. Water is very precious and cannot be used freely. Bottled water is sold at each mountain hut for a fee.

  
  

• Some mountain huts may not have a changing area.

  
  

• Due to poor network conditions, many locations do not accept credit card or electronic payments. Please prepare cash (approximately 5,000 to 10,000 yen).

• For safety reasons, we do not allow infants or young children to ride the bus free of charge. Please note that even if you come to the meeting place on the day of travel, we may refuse your boarding.
• You will be traveling to and from the same bus, so you can leave any luggage you don't need for your hike on the bus. However, please be sure to keep your valuables with you.

• When using a bus with five seats in the last row, the middle seats are treated the same as regular seats.

  
  

• The check-in location and boarding location may differ. In such cases, we will provide directions to the bus stop at the meeting point. Please note that even after checking in, if you are not at the boarding location, the bus will not wait for you.

• Bringing in or consuming foods with strong odors, such as hamburgers, inside the vehicle is not permitted.
