Mt Fuji
Mt. Fuji, an unforgettable adventure and a memory for life! After successfully climbing Mt. Fuji with Urban Heroes in the past years, we are happy to offer you again an unique and unforgettable once in a lifetime experience.
To avoid the crowds we will hike a different route with less people as the route isn't as crowded as other routes, has less huts and a more natural feel. We will meet and start at the Subashiri-guchi station, start climbing for around 6 hours and will stay the night in a hut, will have dinner together (and some entertainment - thanks to our guides) and where we have the opportunity to see the sunrise the next morning (around 4am, if we are lucky with the weather). As this route face to east, we can expect sunrise from anywhere. We will be at the top of Fuji San around 9am and start descending at 11am.
This package includes accommodation, meals & one (Japanese - fluent English speaking) guide per 8 persons, as well as one pre-hike to meet fellow participants, get to know the guides, test the gear, your fitness and answer your questions.
