We recommend layering quick-drying base layers with warm clothing such as fleece or down jackets, and then adding windproof and waterproof rainwear. Wear non-slip hiking boots, and be sure to bring a hat and gloves. Layering your clothing to regulate your body temperature is ideal. For rentals, please refer to the "Yamadogu Rental Shop" website.

This tour involves climbing the mountain as a group. Please understand that this differs from individual travel before applying. (The crater rim walk will not be included.)
As a general rule, participants under the age of 15 must be accompanied by a guardian. If a participant under the age of 15 is forced to abandon their climb due to altitude sickness, injury, illness, etc., they must be accompanied by a guardian and either descend the mountain or wait partway down.
Elderly customers or those with physical limitations should consult a doctor before applying. We may request that you submit documents such as a "Health Questionnaire," "Medical Certificate," or "Consent Form." Furthermore, we reserve the right to refuse your participation if we determine that you are not physically suitable (or may not be able to withstand group activities).
This tour includes a mountain guide and tour escort, but this does not guarantee that you will reach the summit of Mt. Fuji. Please enjoy the climb at your own pace, according to your individual physical strength and health condition. The tour escort will accompany you from Shin-Fuji Station on the first day to Shin-Fuji Station on the last day.
If you decide to abandon your climb, you will be responsible for any expenses incurred for descending, waiting, overnight stays, rescue, etc.
Our company reserves the right to refuse your application or cancel the travel contract before or after the start of the trip if you do not comply with the terms and conditions of our travel agreement (application conditions, cancellation of travel contract before or after the start of the trip), the above-mentioned matters, or if you do not follow the instructions of the mountain guide and tour conductor during the trip, or if any safety issues arise such as a sudden change in your health, injury, or intoxication.
It's a good idea to separate your hiking backpack from your regular belongings before you even leave. For your hiking gear, divide the items into smaller compartments based on type and purpose, and then put everything in plastic bags for added security. (A backpack cover alone won't protect your belongings from rain.) As a guideline, aim for a backpack with a capacity of around 30 liters.
Starting in fiscal year 2025, a toll will be charged for climbing Mt. Fuji. The toll of 4,000 yen must be paid separately on site. *The Mt. Fuji conservation cooperation fee will be abolished in fiscal year 2025 and is therefore not required.
Toilets are available for a fee (100-300 yen). Having a 100 yen coin ready will help ensure a smoother experience.
The schedule may change due to transportation issues such as bus schedule changes, weather, local conditions, road conditions, etc. The order of the itinerary may also be changed or rearranged.

For a guided climbing tour starting from the Mount Fuji Fujinomiya 5th Station, transportation from Tokyo is typically arranged directly by the tour provider.
