Travel Dates: 25-29 JULY | 01-05 AUGUST
Mount Fuji, a sight to behold. A mountain so grand, so bold. A symbol of Japan, so proud and true.
A climb to the summit, a feat to achieve. Hiking in Japan is an experience like no other, with a range of trails and mountains to explore. Mount Fuji, in particular, is one of the most popular destinations for hikers and climbers.
Climbing Mount Fuji is a challenging and rewarding experience. The climbing season is short, and runs from early July to mid-September, when the weather conditions are more stable. During this time, thousands of people climb the mountain every day via its four main trails. We aim to avoid the crowd and enjoy a peaceful climb during weekdays, and via the less trodden paths. We also include a buffer day in case of bad weather.
In July, we will follow the path of Fujiko pilgrims via the Yoshidaguchi Climbing Trail, and traces the history of the Mount Fuji faith.
In August, we will ascend via the least travelled route via the Gotemba trail.
