Terms and Conditions

Risks and Age Requirements

It is important to note that Mount Fuji is not merely a hiking peak. It comes with certain risk factors, including changes in air pressure at higher altitudes and extended treks through the wilderness. Additionally, the weather can be unpredictable at times and there is also a possibility of falling rocks.

For these reasons, we have two requirements:

・JIN’s Mount Fuji Tour is suitable for individuals aged 10 and older, as well as adults aged 75 and under.

・Customers aged 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Please exercise caution when considering younger or elder persons for the trip.

■ Ages 0–1:

Participation is allowed using a baby carrier.

No additional charge.

Strollers cannot be used due to steps; please store them before the tour.

■ Ages 2–9:

The price is 50% of the adult rate, but the private tour minimum charge takes priority.

Meals and snacks are fully provided for children in this age range.

When calculating any additional amount beyond the minimum charge,

children aged 2–9 will be counted in a way that is most advantageous for the customer.

■ Ages 10 and above:

Charged the full adult rate, with all meals and snacks provided.

■ Supervision Requirement:

Customers aged 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Offer for Kids

JIN’s guides are dedicated to assisting family trips to Mount Fuji because we, too, experienced the joy of hiking with our families during our childhoods. Our goal is to facilitate a connection between the next generation and the wonders of nature.

However, we do not provide discounts for children because mountain hut fees are the same as those for adults, and our guides often offer additional assistance, sometimes even more than they do for adults.

Instead, we provide a complimentary equipment rental for children aged 17 and under, one rental set per group. So please inform us at the time of booking.　Seven-item rental gears
