Great experience
We had a great experience on the mountain. Very safe and the guides were excellent. Our translator was teke and he was excellent. Experience overnight in the heart was very good as well. Our guy diverted us from the normal past and kept us away from huge crowds got to the summit for sunrise. I would say the overall experience was great and would recommend it to any of my friends.

Additional notes
- The elevation at the 5th Station is about 2,300 m and 3,000 m at the 7th Station where the tour will stop for sleep. The peak of the mountain is at an altitude of about 3,500 m, where the temperature often falls under 5 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between the 5th Station and the summit is sometimes more than 15 degree Celsius, so dress in layers and take precautions for cold weather. Please read the PDF for more information about what to bring. mtfujiclimb.pdf
- Take precautions to avoid altitude sickness, which can occur as the air thins at high altitude. Get enough sleep the night before the tour stay hydrated and repeatedly check your physical condition while climbing. Inform your tour guide as soon as you feel unwell.
- The purpose of this course is to see the sunrise from Mt. Fuji, so all participants will climb to a mountain hut accommodation above the 7th Station on the first day. Participants may be unable to see the sunrise from the mountain due to weather or crowding on the mountain path, but please understand that these will not be accepted as reasons for a refund.
- Generally the tour will be carried out even in the case of rain, but in the case of bad weather at Mt. Fuji, the guides will determine whether to halt the tour with first consideration to safety. Also, the above times, climbing time, route and arrival times may vary greatly depending on weather and crowding conditions.
- An English-speaking interpreter-guide will accompany you throughout the entire tour and a Japanese-speaking mountain climbing guide will also accompany you from the 5th Station, to the peak and back.
- This is a shared tour with Japanese tourists. An English-speaking guide will accompany international visitors.
- Since a participant name list is required for safety purposes, all participants will be asked to provide their names and emergency contact details on the first day of the tour.
- Participants choosing to use a mountain hut accommodation other than Toyokan, Hinodekan or Fujiichikan due to their own circumstances are responsible for the expenses required.
- The mountain hut accommodation consists of a mixed men's and women's room with bunk beds and less than 1 mat of space per person (about 1 meter by 2 meters). There are no bathing facilities at the mountain hut and non-flushing Japanese-style toilets are available outside.
- If you are late for the 2nd day departure from Mt. Fuji Lake Kawaguchi 5th Station (around 11:30, to be determined on the 2nd day of the tour), you will be responsible for the transportation costs to your next destination.
- Mountain accident insurance is not included in this tour. Participants with non-Japanese nationality are unable to enroll in Japanese mountain accident insurance. It is recommend that participants enroll in overseas travel insurance before leaving their country.
