FAQ
This is a compilation of frequently asked questions about the Mt. Fuji Climbing Tour. Please check if your question has been addressed.
Climbing gear is quite expensive. Would it be OK to substitute it for cheaper rainwear and/or shoes?
During the Mount Fuji climbing tour, the temperatures ranges from the hotness of midsummer to the coldness of midwinter; and you will experience unstable weather conditions such as sudden rain and strong winds, even if the weather appears clear at the beginning. To prepare items that have been especially made for mountain climbing, made of materials such as Gore-Tex is recommendable due to their functionality and durability. There are suitable items at general stores, however, if it is difficult to decide what to buy, a specialized shop may offer ones.

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.
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.
