| Q.How long
is the hiking season in Mt.Fuji? |
A.The"official"
hiking season is from July 1st to Aug 28th. Most of the facility in the mountain
like Huts, toilets, information will be
closed before and after the official season.
Although most of the huts are closed, September to mid October is good for hiking
since weather is usually stable, less hikers and more chance to see the sunrise.
We also provide guiding for experienced hikers from mid April to June with the
use of ice axes, crampons and a rope. |
| Q.Do you guide
in winter? |
A.Sorry but
we do not. we currently guide in Canada form Dec to the end of April.
It is not impossible but it's too difficult to catch the right condition to climb
Mt.Fuji in winter.
You have to be really experienced and patience.
Climbers who have succeeded usually waited for a week to 10days to catch the condition.
We provide off season guiding from April to June.
Usually weather is more stable in Apilr to May and you can still enjoy snow climbing
and the mountain no one is. |

pay? |

| Q.Can I use
a credit card in FUJI? |
A.No. All
the huts in the mountain do not accept credit cards. Make sure you withdraw enough
amount of cash before you get on the bus from Shinjyuku Station.
There is NO ATM in 5th station too. |
| Q.How do I
reserve the mountain hut. |

accommodations only if your who are attending our tour.
Sorry but we do NOT arrange only accommodations. |
| Q.What equipment
is needed for Mt.Fuji hiking. |
A.Please
see this link.
Although Japan has good weather forecasting system the weather in FUji is predicted
less than 50%. Please be prepared for high mountain enviroment like unexpected
thunder storm, rain downpours, hail showers and strong gusts. |
| Q.Do you have
sunrise climbing tour in the off season? |
A.No. We have
sunrise climbing tour only from July 1st to September 15th when the mountain huts
at the 8th and the summit are open. From April to June to see the sunrise you
need to start climbing from 5th station probably from 9PM to 11PM.
It is too risky to do that because the slope is usually icy during the night of
early season.
Also weather is unstable, the chance to see the sunrise is pretty low. |
