About Mount Fuji
Explore Mount Fuji, where the splendor of Japan's iconic peak unfolds. From serene hikes to cultural tours, each experience here is crafted to reveal the mountain's majestic beauty and rich heritage. Find your perfect Mount Fuji adventure here.
Hidden within Mount Fuji's vast beauty is a forest known as Aokigahara, often called the Sea of Trees, which holds mystical tales and is a site of historical significance in Japanese folklore.
Mount Fuji is not a lone giant but part of a trio known as the "Three Holy Mountains" of Japan, alongside Mount Tate and Mount Haku, revered in Shinto tradition for their sacredness.
The iconic snow cap seen adorning the peak of Mount Fuji is not permanent; it melts away to reveal a starkly different but equally mesmerizing landscape during the short summer months.
There's a phenomenon called the "Fuji Shadow" where, during the early sunrise or late sunset, the mountain casts an enormous triangular shadow over the surrounding landscape.
Despite its serene appearance, Mount Fuji is an active volcano, with its last eruption in the early 18th century.
Why visit Mount Fuji?
Highlights
Summit of Mount Fuji
Reaching the summit of Mount Fuji, standing at 3,776 meters, is a bucket-list achievement for many. The exhilaration of climbing Japan's highest peak is complemented by the breathtaking sunrise view, known as Goraiko, which symbolizes rebirth and enlightenment.
Fuji Five Lakes (Fujigoko)
The Fuji Five Lakes area, comprising Lakes Kawaguchiko, Saiko, Yamanakako, Shojiko, and Motosuko, offers diverse viewpoints of Mount Fuji. Here, you can indulge in recreational activities like boating, fishing, and hiking.
Oshino Hakkai
Oshino Hakkai is a set of eight ponds in Oshino, a small village in the Fuji Five Lakes district. These crystal-clear ponds are fed by snowmelt from Mount Fuji that filters through porous layers of lava, creating a natural purification process that takes over 80 years.
Aokigahara Forest
At the northwest base of Mount Fuji lies Aokigahara, a dense forest known for its serenity and mystery. Often referred to as the Sea of Trees, this forest offers unique hiking trails that lead to ice and wind caves, such as the Narusawa Ice Cave and the Fugaku Wind Cave.
Plan your visit
Yoshida Trail entrance
Located at Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station, the Yoshida Trail is the most popular route for climbing Mount Fuji. This entrance is equipped with parking, restrooms, and shops for last-minute supplies.
Subashiri Trail entrance
The Subashiri Trail opens at the Subashiri 5th Station, on the eastern side of Mount Fuji. This route merges with the Yoshida Trail at the 8th station, offering a unique climbing experience through lush forests.
Gotemba Trail entrance
For climbers starting from the lowest elevation, the Gotemba Trail entrance at the Gotemba 5th Station is your gateway. This entrance has minimal facilities—just parking and basic restrooms—making it less crowded but also less convenient
Fujinomiya Trail entrance
The Fujinomiya Trail, accessing the mountain from the south, starts at the Fujinomiya 5th Station. This station offers a range of services, including equipment rental, food outlets, and restrooms, catering well to solo climbers and groups.
At the Fifth Stations, lockers may be available for climbers to store unnecessary items before beginning their ascent.
First aid stations are strategically placed along the climbing routes to assist climbers with minor injuries or health issues.
Toilets are available at rest stations along the climbing routes. There is usually a small fee to use these facilities, which goes towards their maintenance and cleanliness.
Souvenir shops are located at the Fifth Stations and at key points along the trails. These shops offer Mount Fuji-related memorabilia, such as walking sticks (that can be stamped at stations along the climb), t-shirts, hats, and other souvenirs commemorating the climb.
The Fifth Stations, serving as starting points for Mount Fuji climbers, offer varying degrees of wheelchair accessibility. Some stations, like the Kawaguchiko 5th Station, have paved areas and accessible facilities such as restrooms and shops.
Service animals are generally allowed in the Mount Fuji area, especially at the base and around the Fifth Stations.
Strollers can be used at the Fifth Stations and in surrounding park areas where the terrain allows. However, the hiking trails up Mount Fuji are not suitable for strollers due to the steep, rocky paths.
