Description
Located in the Kanagawa prefecture, Mt.Oyama, which stands like a Pyramid, has been an object of worship since ancient times, and was visited by 200,000 worshipers a year during the Edo period.
Mount Oyama stands at 1,252 metres above sea level, and it's located in the Tanzawa-Ōyama Quasi-National Park. It's a popular hiking route, with easy access, and rich in culture, nature and history.
On the day of the hike, we will meet at Isehara station（by Odakyu line, 1 hour from Shinjyuku station）in the morning. We take the bus or taxi together to Mt. Oyama station and take cable to Shimosya (650m). We will hike up Mt. Oyama taking 2 hours and come round back to Shimosya taking 2 more hours.
This trip is open for all skill levels, but you must be ready and fit enough to hike 5 hours, an up and down 600m steep slope. The reward is a great day hike with awesome views in a mountain that's full of history.

Koji was a perfect guide! Not only did he showed us the region and explained all the cultural contexts around it, he also made us feel safe throughout the entire expedition. Climbing Mount Fuji was no easy task - but Koji made it look like it, and with a smile on his face at all times. He was attentive to our needs and health, especially the kids, and took us to the top and back as planned - and on time :)

I did not go on this climb. Rather, I arranged this climb for my 20 and 22 year-old children. I had initially booked them on a group trip but when I was contacted about Koji's private trip on a less traveled side of the mountain, I talked it over with my kids and decided to change to Koji's trip. I have no regrets. The kids liked Koji and felt safe with him. They had a great experience overall, despite altitude sickness and lack of shade. Koji was a wonderful communicator with all of us. Highly recommend.

My wife and I climbed Mt. Fuji in August 2018 with Mr. Koji Takahashi who guided us on the 2-day hike to see sunrise from the top of Mt. Fuji. Koji-san was very friendly and professional. He explained everything well and made sure we had a safe and enjoyable hike. We had an amazing climbing experience and our guide, Koji-san, played a big part in making it a fulfilling experience.
