Reviews
It was an amazing experience. Our tourguide Koji-san always made sure that we are always hydrated and safe. Very good service! Definitely worth the penny.
Amazing the Best experience
Hiking Mt Fuji is definitely bucket list, and I was happy to have done it. I think the tour was mostly well organised and Kogi was a good guide; however, communication ahead of pick up time would have been reassuring. The gear rental was really straightforward, and they were quick to give me a different size when I needed it. Although some members of my tour group questioned the sleeping arrangements (we were up in the rafters) given the price of the tour, it was as advertised in the description. The main criticism I have is that there was a crater tour which was for an additional charge, and those who opted against paying this charge were essentially left to go down the mountain solo. I wish this was more clearly advertised as the descent is quite challenging, and I was disappointed to have had to navigate heading down on my own - especially as I was already struggling with a headache and some dizziness from the altitude. The onsen at the end was very much needed.
Everyone should try this once in your life. be prepared though, there is a serious elevation gain & we lost perfectly healthy & fit people around 8th station to altitude sickness. there is also a good amount of scrambling and switchbacks on the way up. the view once you get there is like heaven though.
The tour guide's Japanese-accented English was difficult to understand. Some members of the group couldn't keep up physically and were left behind, with instructions to meet at a pre-arranged time and place. The descent felt rushed.
Guide was really friendly and helpful, made sure everyone was on track including the elders.
Overall, the tour was well organised and the tour guide was really good! I felt safe throughout the whole trip. however, it was quite hard to reach the tour company in advance to ask questions.
Well organized, very nice guide, i appreciated the onsen after the hike😁
The itinerary was well-organized, and the tour guide was very experienced.
I chose this tour hoping to summit Mt. Kengamine and do the crater tour, but I wouldn't recommend it. The guide seemed like they were going to take us on that route, but without any explanation, they told us to descend, which was very disappointing for those of us who were looking forward to it. We arrived back at the 5th Station very early, around 8:40 AM, and I'm extremely frustrated that we didn't get to do the crater tour.
Good to know
- An additional 4,000 JPY for the Mt. Fuji climbing pass/entrance fee (for using the climbing and descending trails) must be paid separately (not included in the travel fee, please pay locally).
- Depending on traffic conditions, the return departure time and arrival times at each location may vary.
- The mountain hut accommodation is a two-story, mixed-gender dormitory style, and the space allocated per person may be less than the size of one tatami mat.
- If you are unable to stay at the scheduled mountain hut on the day and stay at another mountain hut instead, the accommodation fee must be borne by the traveler, and the travel fee will not be refunded.
- Please be sure to undergo a health check before departure. Elderly individuals, those with health concerns, chronic diseases, or physical/mental disabilities must inform us in advance and can only participate after a doctor's diagnosis.
- To ensure the safety and smooth running of this tour, the age limit for participating in Mt. Fuji climbing is from 6 years old to under 70 years old. Those under 6 years old and over 70 years old cannot participate.
- During peak season, it may be necessary to arrange accommodation in a mountain hut not listed in advance. We appreciate your understanding.
- If the "Ochibachi Pilgrimage Optional Tour" is formed, participants will be reorganized into an Ochibachi Pilgrimage group and a descending group according to their wishes, and the mountain guide may also be different from the one during the ascent. We appreciate your understanding.
- During the climb, for safety reasons, please be sure to follow group actions. If you need to act separately from the guide, please clearly inform us of your itinerary in advance before proceeding.
- A guide will also accompany you during the descent. The guide will lead until the descent trail分岐点 (fork in the road), and then provide support from the rear. (Full support is provided from the 5th station to the summit.)
- This tour will proceed as scheduled regardless of rain, but if the guide determines that the climb must be canceled due to weather or other conditions, no refund will be given.
- If the tour is canceled due to weather or other factors, or if there are other urgent circumstances requiring contact, please be sure to provide your mobile phone number for communication.
