Climb a sun-bathed, south-facing rock face with Mt. Fuji rising directly ahead — a rare, stunning vantage point.
Located near Mt. Mitsutoge and Lake Kawaguchi (convenient to Fujiyoshida and Kōfu), this crag has a variety of easy routes that make it perfect for beginner climbers.
In winter the face stays warm and enjoys an exceptionally high number of sunny days, so weather cancellations are uncommon — meaning more time on the rock and more time soaking in Fuji’s beauty.
We’ll meet you by car at Isawa Onsen Station, Kawaguchiko Station, or a nearby hotel at around 8:00 AM, drive to the trailhead, and hike for about an hour to reach the rock face. Expect 4–5 hours of guided climbing on well-protected routes — if the group moves smoothly you can climb roughly 7–8 pitches — followed by a roughly 40-minute descent and a return drive to the station or hotel of your choice.
If you’re staying near Lake Kawaguchi you’ll have a relaxed morning before the climb and can be dropped off there or at Isawa Onsen afterward for an easy trip back to Tokyo.
Want to stand with Mt. Fuji at your feet and make memories on the rock? Join us and experience it for yourself!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
