FAQ
This is a compilation of frequently asked questions about the Mt. Fuji Climbing Tour.
Please check if your question has been addressed.

Also, a mountain climbing gear rental plan that includes climbing boots, a backpack, trekking poles, and a headlamp is available for this Mt. Fuji climbing tour (advanced reservation required).
Can one person only sign up for the trip, or does it have to be a group?

However, the private room guaranteed plan is limited to groups of 2 or 3 people. Single participants cannot apply.
Where can I choose the gear size? And can I change the size after reservation?

Where can I pick up the climbing gear if I use the gear rental plan departing from and arriving at the Mt. Fuji 5th Station?
If you are using the Mt. Fuji 5th Station Plan, the tour guide will hand over the rental climbing gear to you at the 5th Station. Size exchanges can be made at the rental shop located at the 5th Station.
What should I be careful of when climbing Mount Fuji?
Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan, is 3,776m high. Therefore, it would be difficult to get to the summit if you do not plan for climbing or keeping an appropriate pace. Also, you may get altitude sickness at worst. In addition, there are many climbers during Mount Fuji climbing season. Follow the climbing guidelines for all other climbers. Please refer to "About climbing Mount Fuji" to learn climbing information and guidelines.
Will the same bus be used for both ways? Can we leave our luggage in the bus or are there any coin lockers?
The vehicle or bus company may not be the same for both trips. Any luggage cannot be left inside the bus. Please use the coin lockers (large: 600 yen / small: 300 yen) at Fujikyu Unjokaku at the 5th station for any unnecessary luggage. There may be cases where all the lockers are in use in the peak season.
Is it possible to watch the sunrise from the summit?
On this tour, you will watch the sunrise from the 9th station instead of the summit. Please note that you cannot leave the group to reach the summit. Every year, many climbers aim for the summit during sunrise, and the summit is extremely crowded. In consideration of safety first, this tour plans to watch the sunrise from the 9th station. Please be assured that you can watch a sufficiently wonderful sunrise from the 9th station.
*Please note that you may not be able to watch the sunrise depending on the weather.
How much money should I bring?
Important Notes for Descending Mt. Fuji
If you walk too slowly, you may need to ride a horse from the 7th station. This costs about 50,000 yen. Please prepare cash (yen bills) in advance.
*If you do not have cash, you can use an ATM at the service area on the way from Shinjuku Station to the 5th Station.
About 5,000 yen is enough on the mountain. Prepare a lot of coins instead of bills.
Toilets at Mount Fuji requires money payment. Since you need a 100 yen coin to use one, plenty of these coins should be brought. In addition, Food and drink at the stations are rather expensive due to shipping charges. Extra cash should be prepared.
(Sample expenses)
Pay toilets: 1,200-1,500 yen(200-300 yen/1 time)
Bottled water: 500-1,000 yen(400-500 yen/1 bottle)
*other expenses such as souvenirs, offerings and brands for walking sticks are not included.
Do I need to take anti-sunburn precautions?
UV rays are so strong on the mountain that taking measures to avoid sunburns is necessary. Sunscreen and sunglasses are must items. Sunscreen will run off from sweat even after being put on once. Put it on again frequently. Sunglasses are not just for blocking out blinding light, but also absorb the UV rays to prevent the darkening of corneas since melanin pigments make skin get a tan after corneas absorb the UV rays. Sunglasses that fully cover the eyes are recommended.
Can I join the tour with a child?
Children 6 years old and over who can communicate in English can join the tour.
Please select an adult when making a reservation since the tour fee is the same for adults and children.

I cherish time when I guide climbers. It is important to take enough rest and adapt better to higher elevations. Also, I never push anyone too hard.
WILLER Mount Fuji Climbing Tour values safety. While the mountain hut participants stay is located in the best place to get to the summit, WILLER's tour participants are more likely to reach the summit. I make every effort to support customers to enjoy climbing to the top of Japan safely and learn nature, culture and history of Mount Fuji.
I especially care about customer's health condition and falling rocks. In addition to stunning view and a sense of accomplishment to climb the highest mountain in Japan and the important things I would like to guide are how profound religious aspects are.
