Mount Fuji 2 Day Guided Climb

At 3,766 meters, Mount Fuji is not only Japan’s tallest mountain but also one of its most sacred. As one of the country’s three holy peaks, it holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. With its strikingly symmetrical shape and snow-capped summit, it's also a powerful symbol of Japan’s natural beauty.

Thanks to its proximity to Tokyo, Mount Fuji can often be seen from the city on clear days — and climbing it is a dream for many travelers visiting Japan.

On this 2-day private tour, I’ll guide you on a direct ascent to the summit. You’ll be hiking with me only — this is a one-on-one experience designed for a deeper, more personalized adventure.

We’ll begin our journey at the Kawaguchiko Station, meeting there at 8:00 AM. From there, we’ll hike up to the Taishikan mountain hut at the 8th Station, where we’ll take a break and rest.

Around 11 PM, we’ll set out again under the stars, climbing steadily through the night. Our goal is to reach the summit between 4:00 and 4:30 AM, just in time to witness the breathtaking sunrise from the highest point in Japan.

The sunrise from Mount Fuji is a moving and unforgettable sight — so much so that the Japanese have a word for it: “goraikō”, the arrival of divine light. Many see it as a spiritual moment, and it leaves a lasting impression on everyone who experiences it.

After enjoying the view, we’ll have the option to walk along the rim of the crater (a roughly 2-hour hike) before starting our descent. The return to the Kawaguchiko Station will take approximately 4 to 5 hours.
