Greet the sunrise from the top of Mt. Fuji, Japan's highest peak. Travel by motor coach from Tokyo to the 5th station. From there, you will hike up the mountain accompanied by a professional guide and an English-speaking guide. Be sure to bring along warm clothes, as temperatures at the summit are much lower than at the start of the climb, and the hike is done at night. The sight of the sun's glorious appearance on the horizon makes it well worth the effort.

Tips from the tour guide

Bottled water is a necessity, but carrying too much is a burden. Indeed, It's best to bring about 1 liter of water and buy more during the climb. Although this is a bit more expensive, it's worth it. The last part of the climb is the toughest, as it sometimes seems that you will never reach the top.

Your benefits of participating the tour are as follows:

(1) Your luggage can be stored. Before attempting the climb, many participants do their own research and conclude that they need to bring a lot of gear. It is actually dangerous to be too heavily equipped. Climbers need to carry only a limited amount of gear. It is advised that you leave unnecessary belongings at the mountain hut before your climb.

(2) Although there will be a lot of congestion at the top of the mountain, the tour provides a space for the group to rest once they reach the peak. "During the busy climbing season in July and August, there will be free space ready for anyone on the top of the mountain.

(3) The Tour will stop at a hot spring after coming off the mountain. Replenishing their energy in the natural spring waters is a popular way for climbers to end their journey!

The appeal of Mt.Fuji

Only people lucky to visit Japan in the summer have the opportunity to challenge themselves by climbing to the top of Mt. Fuji, Japan's highest peak and a spiritual site. The two - day tour is the experience of a lifetime, as participants forge close bonds with their fellow climbers by sharing the difficult journey. If the weather is clear, you can also enjoy a gorgeous view of starry skies from the highest spot in Japan. Achieving the two goals-reaching the top of the mountain and seeing the sunrise-is a grand Japanese tradition. You'll need both good health and good weather on your side, so it is no easy task. Many people from all over the world have tried multiple times to complete the climb, but not all of them are successful. There is nowhere in Japan like this!!
