2 day Mt Fuji Sunrise Tour (Group Tour)

You can choose to get picked up in either Gotemba or Mishima Station! (Click here to see the Meeting Point)

Day 1 starts with a pick up at 0930 AM at Mishima Station.

We will then transfer via private van to the Fujinomiya Trailhead (2400m) via Gotemba Station (should you wish to get picked up in Gotemba, the meeting time is 10AM).

In Gotemba, the group makes a pit stop for a last minute opportunity to stock up on any supplies (snacks, water, etc) as well as a bathroom break and gear up (change, receive your rentals) for the hike.

The group will then get back into the vans for the final 60 mins to the trailhead.

From around noon the hiking starts and the goal for the day is to climb 1000m which takes on average 5 hours. 

The accommodation for the night is at an elevation of 3400m where we will enjoy a curry dinner upon arrival. 

On Day 1 we need to make sure to go to sleep early as we will need to wake up in the middle of the night! 

Day 2 starts in the middle of the night as we begin our push early to make the summit in time for sunrise.

The hike time to the summit on Day 2 will differ depending on the mountain hut we are able to secure.

The summit features a Shrine (you can get your summit stamp here), gift shops and even a post office to send a unique post card. Given favorable weather, the summit offers fantastic views and the option of a walk around the crater (highly dependent on weather and energy levels).

After celebrating reaching Japan's highest point, our descent begins.

Though the descent time can vary depending on the conditions, the average time is around 4-5 hours.

Reaching the base of the mountain changes as the sunrise time changes as the season progresses but on average, most groups will get back to the trailhead by around 1000AM on Day 2.

From here the vans will transport you back to either Gotemba or Mishima Station.

The drive time to Gotemba is around 1 hour and 1.5hrs to Mishima.
