Description

Mount Fuji (3776 m) is the highest peak in Japan and a legendary symbol of the country. This iconic dormant volcano is one of Japan’s three holy mountains and it has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries.

I offer you the possibility of climbing this mythical mountain, joining a group on a 2-day guided ascent tour. On the first day, we will meet in Tokyo, at Shinjyuku Station. From there we will head to the mountain. We will stop at Mount Fuji shrine to pray for a safe climb, a local tradition we keep up.

Then we will have lunch at Mount Fuji’s 5th station. At 1pm we will start hiking towards the 7th station, where we will have dinner and spend the night.

On the second day, we will wake up very early, at 2:30am, starting the climb at 3.30. We will enjoy a spectacular sunrise in the 8th station, and continue our climb to Mount Fuji summit. You will get some truly spectacular panoramic views from the top.

We will arrive back down to the 5th station around 12.30. There is an optional visit to Onsen Hot Spring before we return to Shinjuku Station in Tokyo.

Ski Guide

I was born in Tokyo and grew up skiing in Hakuba, Japan. Throughout the years, I have visited Alaska, Peru, Patagonia, New Zealand, Nepal and Canada for winter climbing and backcountry snowboarding.

In 2012, I became the first Japanese person to pass the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides's ski guiding course on a Snowboard. I have been guiding in Japan (Hakuba Nagano and Mt. Fuji), New Zealand and Canada for over 15 years.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
