2 days
Description
Climb Mount Fuji on the Yoshida Trail with a professional guide. Stay overnight in a mountain hut, rest before the final ascent, and aim to watch sunrise from the summit.
Experience one of Japan’s most iconic adventures: a guided Mount Fuji summit climb on the Yoshida Trail.
This 2-day climb is designed with proper pacing, mountain hut rest, and a realistic summit sunrise schedule. Instead of attempting a dangerous overnight bullet climb from the 5th Station, you will climb with a guide, rest at a reserved mountain hut, and continue toward the summit before dawn.
On Day 1, meet your guide at your selected starting point. Depending on your option, travel from Tokyo by private transfer, travel from Tokyo by public transportation with your guide, or meet directly at Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station. At the 5th Station, take time for lunch, altitude acclimatization, equipment checks, and mountain entry procedures.
Begin climbing the Yoshida Trail around midday. Walk steadily through the 6th and 7th Station areas before reaching your reserved mountain hut on the Yoshida Trail. Priority will be given to 8th Station or upper 8th Station huts when available. If upper huts are fully booked, a 7th Station hut may be arranged with an earlier summit departure time.
After dinner and rest at the hut, wake before midnight or shortly after midnight for the final ascent. Continue toward the summit with your guide and aim to arrive in time for the sunrise. After sunrise, enjoy time around the summit area. Guests with enough energy may continue toward Kengamine Peak, the highest point in Japan.
Descend by the Yoshida descent route and return to Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station. Depending on your selected option, return to Tokyo by private transfer, return with your guide by public transportation, or finish at the 5th Station.
