Mount Fuji, located about 100km southwest of the capital Tokyo, is Japan’s highest peak and a spectacular natural phenomenon. At 3,766m of altitude, it is the second-highest island peak in Asia and the views from its summit are unforgettable.
Featured within Japanese mythology, this dormant volcano is one of the ‘three holy mountains’. Mt Fuji is heavily intertwined with Japanese culture. Here’s your chance to explore this magnificent wonder in the company of a local and internationally certified mountain guide in the early season.
We will meet in Gotenba City. It is on the southeastern flank of Mount Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture and then head for the mountain. The guests are required to stay in Gotenba the night before.
We will begin hiking between 5 to 7 am, The one-day climb is a 7-9 hour round-trip hike and is best suited for experienced hikers and those who regularly exercise, but is not recommended for inexperienced hikers or those who are not confident in their fitness.
We usually take the Fujinomiya route, which is a relatively short route. It takes 5-6 hours to reach the summit. You will get some truly amazing photos from the summit, and 360-degree panoramics that will be hard to match.
We will arrive back down to the 5th station around 4 pm and then we should arrive at Gotenba around 6 pm.
If you would like to reach the summit of Mt Fuji and discover this stunning landscape and mythical location then sign up now and I’ll be waiting to show you its beauty!

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.
