Departing from Tokyo - Professional English/Chinese Mountain Guide Accompanied: 2-Day, 1-Night Mount Fuji Climbing Yoshida Route Bus Tour (8th Station Designated Plan)

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.

On July 12th, after departing from the 5th Station at 12:30 PM, my hiking companion experienced slow pace and chest discomfort. Fearing we wouldn't make it to the 8th Station (Shimo-Edoya) and might delay other group members, we signed a departure agreement after our Chinese guide, Meng, suggested it. We walked until 6:00 PM, finally reaching Byakugunso. We explained our physical condition to the lodge owner, stating we couldn't make it to Shimo-Edoya. The owner immediately arranged two empty beds for us to stay and eat, which felt incredibly warm and welcoming (at that time, the sky even displayed colorful clouds and a rainbow). At 2:00 AM, we joined a group led by a female guide from Wilderness Travelers and successfully reached the summit. After seeing the sunrise and taking photos at the crater, we descended to the 5th Station to meet our original group members. Then, at 11:30 AM, we set off for the hot spring excursion. It was then that we heard from other group members that Meng, our guide, had not led them to the summit. Only the two of us, the 'weakest' members, successfully reached the summit. We felt incredibly lucky, and all the effort was truly worth it!

Very practical, it's easy to find a group quickly when you're in a foreign country, nice. Hiking difficulty: Moderate, my son climbed the mountain faster than I did. Scenery: The weather was great, and the view from the bottom of the mountain was picturesque. Tour guide: Very professional and thoughtful.

We had amazing time with OWADA さん! Great lead with good pace hike. On the way to Osen , our bus was broken, we had to stay in the resting area wait for 90 minutes. That part was not handled well but tour guide guy ended up arranging the ride for us back to hotel. We appreciated his hard work. Overall highly recommended the trip.

Amazing the Best experience

Amazing Mt. Fuji experience! 🗻 Our guide was friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was safe throughout the hike. The climb was definitely challenging and tiring, but seeing the sunrise made it all worth it. The gear provided was also very useful. An unforgettable experience and highly recommended! 🌅🥾

I was very satisfied with the activity! The entire process was seamless and well-coordinated. Our guide was excellent at pacing, and on the first day, we hiked for five hours to the 8th station, Ganso Muro. On the second day, we departed at 1:00 AM and arrived at the spot to see the sunrise by 3:15 AM. Since everyone still had energy, we all signed up for the crater rim hike and successfully reached Japan's highest peak, Kengamine at 3776m, where we enjoyed the sunrise. We achieved all our goals for this trip. The hot springs after descending also helped us relax, making the next day less sore.

Scenery: Excellent Hiking Difficulty: Not too difficult in good weather. Guide: Ken is friendly and experienced.

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.
