The one day hike up Mt Fuji is absolutely not for the faint of heart. I've done hikes that are twice the length, but the first kilometer of Fuji absolutely wrecked me. The climb will be at a constant incline of at times that felt like 60 degree angles. The only breaks will be the various rest stations. We got very lucky and the weather was clear for the most part with just occasional fog rolling thru. The trip down will be "easier" , but the loose gravel/ash can hide rocks with will ruin your day, so stay vigilant. So some tips, get a solid breakfast and pack light. If you have any doubts of your fitness level split the trip up into two days. Final shout out to our guide Masa and our driver Ren. They were both very professional and helped me and my siblings create some lasting memories.

Our Mount Fuji climb to the summit was an amazing experience. We did so with our three children (11, 14 & 16), whom were competitively trying to reach the summit in record time, although they were slightly held back by my mild altitude sickness that significantly slowed me down. That did not hold them back on the decent which we did in around 2hrs, almost jogging down the slopes! Our guide Masa, was first class and this was one of three excursions that we did with him. Not only is he really knowledge, his English is perfect and he was able to Taylor our tours just for us and took us to some of his favourite local restaurants. I would wholeheartedly recommend Masa and the Outech team!

My family and I recently completed the Mt. Fuji tour, and it was an unforgettable experience! Masa and Yosuke were exceptional guides, providing us with insightful information and ensuring our safety throughout the trek. The hike itself was challenging but incredibly rewarding, with stunning views and a profound sense of accomplishment when we reached the summit. Masa and Yosuke’s expertise and encouragement made the climb manageable and enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the majesty of Mt. Fuji. It’s well worth the effort, and having such knowledgeable guides made the journey even more memorable. Thank you, Masa and Yosuke, for a fantastic day!

Wow what a day! Roberto and Masa were amazing from pick up to drop off and everything in between. Cannot recommend enough! For information for other travelers; We did pick up from Tokyo 5am, traveled to Fuji 5th station and hiked from there. We started hiking 7am and were back down to the station by 2.30pm. Then the journey back to Tokyo for drop off. We did a private tour for a group of 6 and it was just seamless, safe, friendly and fun.

Good pace, no unnecessary stops, straight up to the summit and down. The only thing is we didn’t have enough water on the way down.
