Description
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.

FAQs
I haven't brought any equipment, can I still participate in this activity?
Yes, you can. All equipment is available for hire.
Can I be picked up from a hotel near Mount Fuji?
Yes, it is possible. However, since the rock climbing area is in Yamanashi Prefecture, we can pick you up from hotels within Yamanashi Prefecture. However, we cannot pick you up from hotels in Shizuoka Prefecture, as it is on the opposite side.
Will the event be held on rainy days?
Unfortunately, we cannot hold the tour on rainy days. We will contact you by the day before to cancel the tour.

Kenji was delightful and inspired confidence. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side, and the rock was very wet. On a dry day this would be a simply beautiful climb. However he more than made up for it by taking us on a longer hike, and when the sun finally came out went out of his way to drive us to the best viewpoints to see Fuji. He also shared his delicious ginger tea with us when we got cold and wet! I’d certainly recommend him and this climb, but on a dry day.
