Important Note for Day 1: We will have an early bedtime tonight to prepare for our pre-dawn wake-up call for the sunrise summit!

2-Day Itinerary (Approximate Descent Time: 3-4 Hours)

• Early Morning Ascent for Sunrise: Day 2 begins in the pre-dawn hours as we start our final push to reach the Mt. Fuji summit in time for the breathtaking sunrise. We like to wake up about 60 min before heading out the door and breakfast will be served in the mountain hut dining area. The hike from the mountain hut to the summit of Mt. Fuji typically takes approximately 30- 40 minutes.
• Explore the Mt. Fuji Summit: Given pleasant weather, the summit features a Shrines (you can get our summit stamp here), other souvenirs, fantastic views for photos and the option of a walk around the crater (highly weather dependent). Also there will be small gift shops, and even the unique Mt. Fuji Post Office to send a memorable postcard all located on the crater rim. Please note: Opening times for the Shrine and shops are subject to change throughout the season.
• Begin Your Descent: After celebrating your achievement at Japan's highest point and witnessing the sunrise, we will begin our descent down Mt. Fuji. While the descent time can vary based on trail conditions and pace, the average duration is around 4-5 hours.
• Return to 5th Station (trailhead): The arrival time back at the trailhead will vary with the sunrise schedule throughout the season, but most groups typically return by around 11:00 AM on Day 2.
• Transfer Back to your accommodation: From the trailhead, we will provide a transfer back to your hotel in Central Tokyo, Gotemba, Hakone or other areas around Mount Fuji.
• The time back to Gotemba is around 1 hour and 2.5 hours to Central Tokyo.
