Mt. Fuji
Book Now!Overview
Mt. Fuji is one of the most famous mountains in the world with its symmetrical cone shape and for being the highest mountain in Japan. It is a natural wonder and a volcano that is the national symbol of the country.Aside from Mt. Fuji, this trip also aims for participants to be able to have enough time to explore Tokyo and be able to do a day hike to experience the region further.
We are doing the Fujinomiya trail, the shortest and arguably the friendliest trail of Mt.Fuji. This trail is also the closest to Kenganime Peak, the highest point of the mountain.
This hike is open to experienced hikers. If you are still starting but have an active lifestyle, this hike should be doable. Please feel free to reach out to us for guidance.
