The Challenge of Climbing Mt. Fuji: What to Expect

Trekking and Hiking in Fuji Outdoor's Wilderness

The Fujinomiya Trail, starting from the 5th Station (2400m / approx. 7900ft) to the Mt. Fuji summit (3776m / approx. 12388ft), is the shortest of the main climbing routes, typically taking around 5 hours to ascend and 3-4 hours to descend.

However, don't underestimate this climb! While the distance might be less than other Mt. Fuji hikes, the ascent is consistently steep and over rocky terrain. Expect many large steps and uneven footing, requiring careful attention, although no hand-over-hand climbing is necessary.

*The cut of time to reach the summit is 6.5 hours. Your guide(s) may turn you around at any point if your pace is too slow or for any reason that compromises safety.

Prepare for Mt. Fuji's Unpredictable Weather:

The weather on Mt. Fuji is known to change rapidly and drastically. Be ready for a wide range of conditions – from dry and hot to wet and cold, possibly all within the same hiking day. Being equipped with the right hiking gear for all weather is crucial for a safe and successful summit attempt.

Understanding Altitude Sickness on Your Mt. Fuji Hike:

While supplemental oxygen isn't needed, all climbers will feel the effects of the altitude to some extent. This can range from mild shortness of breath to dizziness or nausea. Serious altitude related complications are outliers.

Understanding the Challenge of Climbing Mt. Fuji:

During the main climbing season, the trails are maintained, but the altitude and steepness can still be challenging, especially for those new to mountain hiking. Reaching the summit of Mt. Fuji is more about endurance than technical skill, but good physical fitness is key to enjoying the experience and staying safe. Be prepared to carry a backpack with essentials like water, snacks and extra layers.

Fitness Level Needed to Climb Mt. Fuji:

You don't need to be an elite athlete to hike Mt. Fuji, but a moderate level of fitness is highly recommended. Aim for these fitness goals:

Cardiovascular Endurance: Be able to sustain activity like hiking for several hours. Regularly engage in jogging, cycling, or swimming.
Leg and Core Strength: Build strength to handle the steep terrain and carry your backpack. Include squats, lunges, and planks in your training.
