Mount Fuji (3,776m) is Japan's highest peak.
On this 2-Day Mt. Fuji Tour, you'll have plenty of time to achieve your goal of reaching Mt. Fuji's summit. After a strenuous hike on the first day, you'll savor a hot dinner and spend the night in a mountain hut situated at 3400 meters. Rising before dawn, you'll resume the ascent to arrive at the summit just in time for sunrise.
The 2-day Mt. Fuji tour is conducted by English-speaking guides who are committed to helping you navigate Mt. Fuji, from Tokyo all the way to the summit and back. This journey takes the Subashiri trail, offering a less crowded and more authentic experience.
Please send me a message if you want to join a group to summit Mount Fuji, Japan's most famous peak, during the summer season.
You can choose to meet at Tochomae Station in Tokyo or Gotemba Station near Mt. Fuji, based on your preference. The tour will depart promptly at 6:45 a.m. from Tochomae Station and at 9:30 a.m. from Gotemba Station.
The group will leave Tokyo in a private vehicle, heading to the Subashiri 5th Station via Gotemba Station. We will begin our climb at 2,000 meters, following the Subashiri trail up to 3,400 meters, where we will rest and stay overnight. Our mountain hut will provide a hot dinner of Japanese curry rice.
Wake up before dawn to resume our climb in the dark, using headlamps to light the way. After a 1 1/2 hour trek to the summit, we'll experience the sunrise from the highest point in Japan.
You'll have time to purchase souvenirs, take photos, and, if the weather allows, opt for a climb around the crater. Following our celebration at the summit and a hot breakfast, the group will descend to the Subashiri 5th Station and head back to Tokyo via Gotemba Station.
Accommodation
Fujisan Hotel is perched at 3,400 meters at the Original 8th Station, just over an hour from the summit of Mt. Fuji, marking the final leg of the journey to Japan's highest peak.
Mountain huts on Mt. Fuji were originally established as shelters from the severe mountain weather and provide basic dormitory-style accommodations. You will have a bunk, bedding, sleeping bag, and pillow, all arranged in traditional Japanese style.
These huts offer a unique cultural experience specific to Mt. Fuji, providing a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow climbers, share stories, and experience camaraderie unlike anything found in a five-star hotel.

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.
