Private trips

You can choose to get picked up at your hotel in central Tokyo or accommodation closer to Mt Fuji!

• Day 1 starts with an early morning pick up (usually around 0630 AM for central Tokyo)
• We will then transfer via private van to the Fujinomiya Trailhead via Gotemba.
• In Gotemba, we will make a pit stop for a last min opportunity to stock up on any supplies (snacks, water, etc) as well as a bathroom break and gear up (change, receive your rentals, if any) for the hike.
• We will then continue for another 60 mins to the trailhead.
• From around 1030AM the hiking starts and the goal for the day is to climb 1000 vertical meters 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 start our final 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.
• 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).
• After celebrating reaching Japan's highest point, our descent begins. Though the descent time changes depending on the conditions, the average is around 4 hours.
• On average, most groups will get back to the trailhead by around 10- 11AM on Day 2.
• After getting back to the trailhead, we will make our way back to your accommodation in central Tokyo, Gotemba, Hakone, or Yamanakako.
• The time back to Gotemba is around 1 hour and 2.5 hours to Central Tokyo.
