Welcome to Tokyo, home of Japan’s highest volcano - Mount Fuji! This country’s highpoint rises to 12,388’ and will require three days and two nights on the mountain. With tent camping prohibited on Mount Fuji, we will be sleeping in historic mountain huts en route to our summit. In addition to climbing the world’s most popular mountain, we’ll experience traditional Japanese teahouses, bathhouses, and sushi!
Mount Fuji, considered sacred by the Shinto religion, is one of three holy mountains in Japan. Women were prohibited to climb Mount Fuji until 1872; their beauty was believed to cause Mount Fuji to erupt. Mount Fuji is an active volcano with the last eruption being in 1707.
Our custom route is no out-and-back. BE intentionally pieces together multiple routes to create the most scenic and enjoyable once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our long and gentle sloping route sees the fewest hikers each year and offers a circumnavigation of the crater’s rim as well as a short side hike to Mount Hoei; Mount Fuji’s newest crater from the last confirmed eruption in 1707.
Altogether, this 7-day journey includes four days and four nights in Tokyo and three days and two nights on Mount Fuji. Rental gear and custom dates available at checkout.
