Mount Fuji 2-Day Hike

Are you ready to conquer the highest peak in Japan? This 2-day hiking route up Mount Fuji will take you to the summit. A unique experience combining nature, adventure and otherworldly landscapes.

Activity Details

Day 1

First thing in the morning, we'll meet at the LOVE sculpture in Shinjuku, in the heart of Tokyo. From there, we'll embark on a 3-hour journey to Mount Fuji, the perfect time to prepare for the great adventure. Two unforgettable days await us as we climb Japan's highest peak!

After arriving at the 5th station of the Yoshida route, at about 2,300 m (7,545 ft) above sea level, we'll put on our helmets and begin the ascent accompanied by certified mountain guides. We'll climb at a gentle and steady pace, ideal for people with no hiking experience.

During the hike, we'll take breaks to admire the surroundings and eat the food you have brought with you, with a breathtaking natural backdrop. As we ascend, stunning panoramic views await us: from a sea of clouds at the 7th station to the play of light that colours Mount Fuji at sunset.

Upon reaching the 8th station, at 3,400 m (11,154 ft) above sea level, a hearty dinner will await us at a mountain refuge, including curry with a hamburger or a vegetarian option. Afterwards, you can rest and refuel while gazing at the starry sky from above. A well-deserved rest before the big day!

Day 2

We'll get up before sunrise to get to the 9th station and watch the sun rise through the clouds. An image that will remain etched in your memory forever! After this unique experience, we'll continue the hike until we reach the summit of Mount Fuji, located 3,776 m (12,388 ft) above sea level.

After admiring the crater and enjoying the panoramic views from the summit, we'll begin our descent and take a long break at the 8th station shelter for breakfast, which includes 3 bread rolls with sausages or a vegetarian option.

Finally, we'll arrive back at the 5th station, from where we'll take the bus back to Tokyo. We'll say goodbye at the starting point in Shinjuku between 3 pm and 5 pm.
