A path of the boundary between the human and divine realms

Accessible Heights, Unforgettable View

Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan and is a symbol of the country. You can drive up to the fifth station of Mount Fuji (at 2,300 meters). Many tourists come to the fifth station, buy souvenirs, and leave without exploring further. However, if you have come all the way to the fifth station of Mount Fuji, why not take a walk on the mountain?
Climbing to the summit of Mount Fuji is very challenging, but if you can walk for about four hours, you can relatively easily reach the sixth station. You may have concerns about altitude sickness, weather, or the route, but you can rest assured with our expert guides. After gathering at the fifth station, we will walk through the forest zone and aim for the old climbing route. Along the way, you can enjoy the flowers and trees of the alpine zone. We will climb up to the mountain hut at the sixth station via the less crowded old climbing route. After having lunch at the mountain hut, we will make the final ascent. When we reach the sixth station, if the weather is good, you can enjoy the magnificent view of Mount Fuji. On the return, we will take the main climbing route. Finally, those interested can experience a special prayer at the shrine on the fifth station.
