Mt. Fuji and Japan

1. Do we head to Tokyo (Narita) together from Manila?
We advise everyone to join us on the flight from Manila to Tokyo and back to Manila. However, if you wish to stay longer or arrive earlier, this is allowed. Just make sure that you’re in Tokyo on our scheduled timeline.

2. Is a Visa required to enter Japan?
Yes. A Visa is required to enter Japan. 

3. Do we apply visa as a group?
Visa application is done individually. However, to help you, we will be giving additional information that will help such as hiking permits, contact person, etc.

4. Will there be snow on the hike?
Japan has four seasons. For the month of August, this is the summer season and snow is not expected.

5. During the hike, can we leave some our stuff in Tokyo?
Yes. From Tokyo and before departing for the jump-off point, we can leave stuff that we won’t need in our hostel.

6. For the payment deposit, how do I pay in US Dollars?
For all our international hikes, we suggest to pay by bank deposit to avoid incurring additional fees. After reservation on our website we will be sending you instructions on how to accomplish and where to deposit the down payment. We will require a 60% down payment and full payment 1-2 months before the hike.

We will be conducting a preparation climb meeting/ introduction to Taiwan weeks before our scheduled departure to discuss briefly our Snow Mountain Expedition.
