Off- Season Climbs (6/20- 7/9 & 9/12- 10/25, 2025)

Climb Mt. Fuji during the off-season, a less busy time of year!

As the official Mt. Fuji climbing season ends in early September, the off-season climb present a less crowded climb. However, during this time of year, as no mountain huts are open, you must carry all of the supplies (food, water and equipment) that you may need over the course of the day.

Important Information:
One day trips do not allow for a summit for sunrise.
Please understand that during an off-season Tour, daylight hours are shorter compared to in-season trips. For 1-day trips, the average ascent time is 5 hours and the cut-off to reach the summit is at 2:30 PM or 6 hrs, and the average descent time is 3-4 hours. While most of the day will be in daylight, it might start getting dark during the latter part of the descent. The terrain on Mt. Fuji is steep and rocky, with a mix of slippery and grippy surfaces. Please also be aware that although there's usually no snow on the ground, it's not uncommon to encounter snow or cold conditions. Since it's the off-season, the trails won't be maintained.

Your guide(s) may turn you around at any point if your pace is too slow or any reason that may compromise you and the group's safety.

*You may be walking on snow at higher elevations for June and early July trips.

Regarding food, there will be no options to purchase anything on the mountain. We will not stop for lunch but rather take short breaks where we can snack. Please make sure to have enough snacks/ water for about 9-10 hours (our guides like to carry around 3L of water).
