Altitude of 3,776 meters above sea level
Japan's number one mountain that you want to climb once in your lifetime
Mt. Fuji

Although the situation has changed since the pre-COVID years, for the better in some way, the majesty and beauty of Mt. Fuji remain the same, and there is no better way to realize it than the experience of climbing it.

There are four main climbing trails in Mt. Fuji, and it is common to climb from the 5th Station. Each trail with individuality is connected to the summit.

4 Trails

• Yoshida: Shibuya Crossing on Mt. Fuji

• Fujinomiya: Steep and rocky but shortest

• Subashiri: Descend like gliding

• Gotemba: Hard for even those experienced in climbing

Note: The above is in descending order of the number of climbers. In stark contrast to the top two, the bottom two together accounted for only 15% of the total number of climbers in 2023. However, this is not to say that they are less appealing compared with the other two. Rather, being poorly served by mass public transportation and the lack of ample paved parking for motor coaches are the main reasons, which is nothing to do with the trails themselves.

While your Japan travel itinerary before and after the climb may have a great influence over your choice of a climbing route, Fujisan Curator encourages you to challenge the trail you want to climb because this will be your commemorable first (and probably last) Mt. Fuji climbing.
The experience you will have in climbing Mt. Fuji is different per each ascending and descending trail and route.

In 2024 season, Fujisan Curator continues to feature two far less-climbed trails - Subashiri and Gotemba (lighter route though).
