Off- Season Climbs (7/20- 9/9 & 9/12- 10/25, 2025)

Climb Mt Fuji during the off-season, a less busy time of year!

As the official Mt Fuji climbing season ends in early September, the off-season climb present a less crowded climb. However, during this time of year, as no mountain huts are open, you must carry all of the supplies (food, water and equipment) that you may need over the course of the day.
Climbing Mt. Fuji in a single day provides a unique experience and a personal challenge. While preparation is key, the rewards of solitude, breathtaking views, and a sense of accomplishment make it an unforgettable adventure.

Important Information:
One day trips do not allow for a summit for sunrise.
Please understand that during an Off-Season Tour, daylight hours are shorter compared to in-season trips. For 1-day trips, the average ascent time is 5 hours and the cut-off to reach the summit is at 2:30 PM or 6 hrs, and the average descent time is 3-4 hours. While most of the day will be in daylight, it might start getting dark during the latter part of the descent. The terrain on Mt. Fuji is steep and rocky, with a mix of slippery and grippy surfaces. Please also be aware that although there's usually no snow on the ground, it's not uncommon to encounter snow or cold conditions. Since it's the off-season, the trails won't be maintained.
*You may be walking on snow at higher elevations for June and early July trips.

Regarding food, there will be no options to purchase anything on the mountain. We will not stop for lunch but rather take short breaks where we can snack. Please make sure to have enough snacks/ water for about 9-10 hours (our guides like to carry around 3L of water).

Difficulty and Preparation

From the Fujinomiya 5th station or the trailhead (2400m) to the summit (3776m) takes roughly 5 hours and about 3-4 hours for the descent making it the shortest of the 4 trails.

But don't let that fool you, it's still a challenging climb! Although you'll have less distance to cover compared to the other trials, the ascent is steep and rocky. Though there will be no scrambling (climbing with your hands), the trail features lots of big steps and precarious foot placement.

*The cut of time to reach the summit is 6 hours. Your guide(s) may turn you around at any point if your pace is too slow.

Additionally Mt Fuji is infamous for its volatile weather. A climb to the summit of Mt Fuji guarantees that at one point you will be dry, wet, hot and cold. From scorching hot and humid summer conditions to snowy winter conditions, one should always expect for the weather to drastically change in an instant. Almost any type of weather you can imagine can be experienced at any given moment on Mt Fuji and being prepared with the necessary equipment will be key for a successful climb.

Not only weather! Though Mt Fuji is not at an elevation where supplementary oxygen is needed, all climbers will feel the altitude to varying degrees. Some may only experience a slight shortness of breath but other may experience dizziness, nausea or other effects of the elevation which may affect your climb.
*Serious altitude related complications are rare outlier cases on Mt Fuji.

Lastly, the amount of equipment needed on Mt Fuji tends to weigh down a large backpack (a loaded backpack weighs around 10kgs)!

Training goes a long way! It is strongly advised for you to be practicing an active lifestyle spending a lot of time on your feet. Pacing is an important part of hiking big distances and regularly training your stamina and cardio with activities such as hiking, walking, running, stairmasters and cycling will help you towards successfully reaching the summit.

Additionally it is advised to also go hiking/ walking with a 10kg backpack to simulate what you would be carrying at all times on your Mt Fuji hike.

In summation, what makes climbing Mt Fuji so difficult is its steepness, rugged/ rocky terrain, elevation, volatile weather and sheer length of climb while carrying equipment.
