3-day Mt Fuji Climb

Mt. Fuji is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2013, but Mt Fuji is not just about the climb to the summit but a package with the beautiful nature and view around it. I would like to offer a trip which combines the Japanese tradition in the vicinity of Fuji, beauty of natural spring water from the area and the climb of Mt Fuji itself. The spring water around Mt Fuji is used to brew Japanese Sake and for the making of Japanese traditional food such as Soba. In Oshino, there is a lake filled with this spring water, which is transparent all the way to the bed of the lake, and you can also witness the outflow of spring water from the bed of the lake.

Doing this Fuji trip in 3 days will allow us to be more flexible and adapt to weather conditions, and spend some time enjoying the cultural environment surrounding Mt. Fuji.

Fitness Level: You must have good general fitness and it would be recommended if you work on regular cardiovascular exercises.

Itinerary Day 1: Meet at Kawaguchiko station (or Gotenba Station) in the morning. We enjoy the relaxing cultural tour by visiting the traditional Soba making factory and sources of Mt Fuji spring water. This day will serve as an acclimatisation day, as we spend our time at an altitude of around 1,000m.

Day 2: We move to the car park to take the bus together to Mt Fuji 5th station (2350m). After 1 hour acclimatization, we start the hike up through Yoshida route of Mt. Fuji and stay at one of the higher mountain huts for the night.

Day 3: We start early and summit Mt Fuji, followed by a descent all the way down to the car park. I will drop you off at a station of your convenience.
