FAQ

This is a compilation of frequently asked questions about the Mt. Fuji Climbing Tour. Please check if your question has been addressed.

Climbing gear is quite expensive. Would it be OK to substitute it for cheaper rainwear and/or shoes?

During the Mount Fuji climbing tour, the temperatures ranges from the hotness of midsummer to the coldness of midwinter; and you will experience unstable weather conditions such as sudden rain and strong winds, even if the weather appears clear at the beginning. To prepare items that have been especially made for mountain climbing, made of materials such as Gore-Tex is recommendable due to their functionality and durability. There are suitable items at general stores, however, if it is difficult to decide what to buy, a specialized shop may offer ones.
Also, a professional gear rental plan is available at Willer Travel’s Mount Fuji Climbing Tour (An advanced booking has to be made.)

Can one person only sign up for the trip, or does it have to be a group?

You are more than welcome to join the tour by yourself, there are many participants doing so.
However, the private room guaranteed plan is limited to groups of 2 people. Single participants cannot apply.

Can I join the tour from the 5th station of Mt. Fuji?

No, you can not join the tour from anywhere other than Shinjuku. Please be sure to board the bus from the assembly point. If you don't take the bus from Shinjuku, you will be considered not to participate in the tour.

Where can I choose the gear size? And can I change the size after reservation?

After selecting the number of participants on the reservation screen, you will see the schedule confirmation. There, please select the size of climbing boots and rainwear for each participant.
*You can change the size at the rental store on the day of the tour.

What should I be careful of when climbing Mount Fuji?

Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan, is 3,776m high. Therefore, it would be difficult to get to the summit if you do not plan for climbing or keeping an appropriate pace. Also, you may get altitude sickness at worst. In addition, there are many climbers during Mount Fuji climbing season. Follow the climbing guidelines for all other climbers. Please refer to "About climbing Mount Fuji" to learn climbing information and guidelines.

Will the same bus be used for both ways? Can we leave our luggage in the bus or are there any coin lockers?

The vehicle or bus company may not be the same for both trips. Any luggage cannot be left inside the bus. Please use the coin lockers (large: 600 yen / small: 300 yen) at Fujikyu Unjokaku at the 5th station for any unnecessary luggage. There may be cases where all the lockers are in use in the peak season.

Is it possible to watch the sunrise from the summit?

On this tour, you will watch the sunrise from the 9th station instead of the summit. Please note that you cannot leave the group to reach the summit. Every year, many climbers aim for the summit during sunrise, and the summit is extremely crowded. In consideration of safety first, this tour plans to watch the sunrise from the 9th station. Please be assured that you can watch a sufficiently wonderful sunrise from the 9th station.
*Please note that you may not be able to watch the sunrise depending on the weather.

How much money should I bring?

About 5,000 yen is enough on the mountain. Prepare a lot of coins instead of bills.
Toilets at Mount Fuji requires money payment. Since you need a 100 yen coin to use one, plenty of these coins should be brought. In addition, Food and drink at the stations are rather expensive due to shipping charges. Extra cash should be prepared.
(Sample expenses)
Pay toilets: 1,200-1,500 yen(200-300 yen/1 time)
Bottled water: 500-1,000 yen(400-500 yen/1 bottle)
*other expenses such as souvenirs, offerings and brands for walking sticks are not included.

Do I need to take anti-sunburn precautions?

UV rays are so strong on the mountain that taking measures to avoid sunburns is necessary. Sunscreen and sunglasses are must items. Sunscreen will run off from sweat even after being put on once. Put it on again frequently. Sunglasses are not just for blocking out blinding light, but also absorb the UV rays to prevent the darkening of corneas since melanin pigments make skin get a tan after corneas absorb the UV rays. Sunglasses that fully cover the eyes are recommended.

How much water should I bring?

Bring a liter when start the climb. Refills are purchasable from the mountain huts. Two or three liters are required for one climb (two days with an overnight stay). Carrying all in a rucksack is a heavy burden therefore prepare the first liter and purchase one at the mountain huts on the way to the summit. Be careful for dehydration leads to altitude sickness.

Message from mountain guides

Comment from Passang
Mountain Guide:PassangI cherish time when I guide climbers. It is important to take enough rest and adapt better to higher elevations. Also, I never push anyone too hard.
Comment from Sasakawa
Mountain Guide:SasakawaWILLER Mount Fuji Climbing Tour values safety. While the mountain hut participants stay is located in the best place to get to the summit, WILLER's tour participants are more likely to reach the summit. I make every effort to support customers to enjoy climbing to the top of Japan safely and learn nature, culture and history of Mount Fuji.
Comment from Nakazawa
Mountain Guide:NakazawaI especially care about customer's health condition and falling rocks. In addition to stunning view and a sense of accomplishment to climb the highest mountain in Japan and the important things I would like to guide are how profound religious aspects are.
