Climbing Mount Fuji in 2 days, Japan

This trip is good for those with hiking experience and a good level of fitness. In order to join a group, you should be able to at least jog 5km in 40 minutes and have prior hiking experience. Day one will involve about 4km of hiking with 900 meters of elevation gain over about 4 hours. Day two will involve 2km of ascent gaining 400 meters and then descending 1,300 meters over 6km.

Those with little to no hiking experience or lower levels of fitness should consider a private trip to allow you to go at a more relaxed pace without feeling pressure from other members of a group trip.
