FAQ

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 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, 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? In consideration of safety first, this tour plans to watch the sunrise from the 9th station. Please note that you cannot leave the group to reach the summit. 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? 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. Extra cash should be prepared for food and drinks. e.g. Pay toilets: 200-300 yen/per times Bottled water: 400-500 yen/per bottles

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 and put it on again frequently. 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. You can purchase one at the mountain huts on the way to the summit.
