Prior to reaching the 5th station (trailhead) of the Fujinomiya trail, the group will stop at the Fuji Outdoor Office in Gotemba. You may leave any luggage there and pick it up at the end of the tour.
No, sleeping bags and/or blankets are provided at the mountain hut.
Unfortunately not! There is no running water on Mt Fuji!
Generally all of your expenses on Mt Fuji will be covered.
On 2 day trips, 2 meals are included.
If you would like additional snacks, food or water (as we are hiking you will work up an appetite and be thirsty) there will be opportunities for purchase at most mountain huts however, be prepared for high elevation prices (2-3 times sea level price). Additionally, the mountain huts will also offer souvenirs. The classic Mt Fuji souvenir is a wooden walking stick (¥1000-2000) which you can get stamped at each of the huts along the way to the summit (each stamp will cost ¥200-300).
Toilets on Mt Fuji will also cost ¥200-300 as there is no plumbing and the huts need to carry everything down!
With all this in mind, its a good idea to have ¥5000-10,000 in cash with you!
Climbing Mt Fuji is a difficult climb! Although not technical, it is all uphill with volatile weather conditions. Read more on what to expect here.
