Off- Season Climbs (Jun 20- JuL 9 & Sept 12- Oct 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.
Climbing Mt. Fuji in a single day provides a unique experience and a personal challenge. While preparation is key, the rewards of solitude, breathtaking views, and a sense of accomplishment make it an unforgettable adventure.

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.
*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).

Frequently Asked Questions: Private Trips

Where do I store my luggage which I don't need on the mountain?

Prior to reaching the 5th station (trailhead) of the Fujinomiya trail, the group will stop at the Mt. Fuji Guides/ Fuji Outdoor Office in Gotemba. You may leave any luggage there and pick it up at the end of the tour.

Do I need a sleeping bag? (2 day trips)

No, sleeping bags and/or blankets are provided at the mountain hut.

Will I be able to take a shower at the hut? (2 day trips)

Unfortunately not! There is no running water on Mt Fuji!

Should I bring any cash?

Generally all of your expenses on Mt. Fuji will be covered.

On 2 day trips, 2 meals are included. If you would like additional snacks, food or water (as we are hiking you will work up an appetite and be thirsty) there will be opportunities for purchase at most mountain huts however, be prepared for high elevation prices (2-3 times sea level price). Additionally, the mountain huts will also offer souvenirs. The classic Mt Fuji souvenir is a wooden walking stick (¥1000-2000) which you can get stamped at each of the huts along the way to the summit (each stamp will cost ¥200-300).

Toilets on Mt. Fuji will also cost ¥200-300 as there is no plumbing and the huts need to carry everything down!

With all this in mind, its a good idea to have ¥5000-10,000 in cash with you!

Climbing Mt Fuji is a difficult climb! Although not technical, it is all uphill with volatile weather conditions. Read more on what to expect here.
