Climb Mount Fuji yourself
Everything above is for hiring a guide. If you have the skills, this is what you need to do it on your own, free. Facts come from the summit’s own page on PeakSeeker, with sources.
- Normal route
- Yoshida Trail
- Grade
- Non-technical hike; steep volcanic scree switchbacks above the 8th station
- How long
- 5-7 hours up, 3-4 hours down
- Best season
- Early July-early September (official climbing season; discouraged October-May)
- Permits
- Since 2024, Yamanashi Prefecture charges a mandatory 2,000 yen fee and requires a reservation for the Yoshida Trail, with a 4,000-hiker daily cap and gate closure overnight (except for hut guests).
- Start from
- Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station, 7,562 ft (2,305 m)
- Climb from there
- 4,827 ft (1,471 m) of ascent over 4.3 mi one way
- Getting there
- Most climbers on the Yoshida Trail base out of Fujiyoshida, taking a bus to the Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station before an overnight hut stay and a pre-dawn summit push to see the sunrise (goraiko). Nearest airport: Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport, about 80 km away; Tokyo's Haneda and Narita airports (roughly 3 hours 15 minutes away) are the more commonly used international gateways..
- Hazards
- Altitude sickness, overcrowding bottlenecks near the summit at sunrise, hypothermia and high winds, and falling rock.
- Gear
- Layered clothing for large temperature swings, headlamp, trekking poles, and rain gear; no technical climbing gear is needed on the standard trails, and camping above the 5th station is prohibited inside the national park.

The cheapest guided summit is a seat on a big bus tour: JAPANiCAN's costs ¥37,400–¥41,800. VELTRA's 15-person bus climbs are sold out for 2026 and show no price. Small-group specialists cost almost twice as much: Fuji Mountain Guides ¥73,900 plus the ¥4,000 permit, Mt. Fuji Guides ¥67,100 at 1:6.
Check the ¥4,000 trail fee. It now applies on all four trails. Fuji Mountain Guides adds it on top, My Tokyo Guide and VELTRA's Fujinomiya tour exclude it, and WILLER includes it. A ¥4,000 gap can be the whole difference between two tours.
Every overnight tour here is a hut tour. With the 14:00–03:00 entry rule on both sides of the mountain, the old night-time 'bullet climb' without a hut is off the table. The alternative is a one-day climb (Fuji Mountain Guides from ¥49,000 a head in a big group), which is for fit hikers only.
Private prices vary widely. For a solo climber, JIN charges ¥320,000, Fuji Mountain Guides ¥359,000 and Mt. Fuji Guides ¥285,000 plus tax. Fuji Sunrise's guide fee starts at ¥125,000, but huts, the trail fee and the guide's lodging are extra. Fill a group of four or more and per-head prices fall to about ¥89,000–¥125,000.
Outside July–September, few companies here guide Fuji. Fuji Mountain Guides runs group (¥72,000) and private climbs from 11 September to 10 October. My Tokyo Guide and Explore-Share guides take private spring and autumn climbs, on snow and with the huts shut.
Book early. WILLER and JIN's private 2-day and 3-day climbs were sold out for summer 2026.
- Yoshida trail (Yamanashi), 2026: climbing season 1 July–10 September. The hiking fee is a flat ¥4,000 per person regardless of age, with advance exemptions for disability-certificate holders and school lessons. Entries are capped at 4,000 climbers a day, not counting mountain-hut guests. fujisan-climb.jp ↗
- The Yoshida trail gate is closed from 14:00 to 03:00 the next day. You can descend at any time, and hut guests are exempt. Yamanashi says the rule stops dangerous overnight 'bullet climbing' to the summit without a hut stay. fujisan-climb.jp ↗
- Shizuoka trails, 2026: Subashiri is open 1 July (09:00) to 10 September (17:00); Fujinomiya and Gotemba 10 July (09:00) to 10 September (17:00). The hiking fee is ¥4,000 per person, paid once. You register in advance in the 'Shizuoka Prefecture FUJI NAVI' app for a QR-code permit, or on site at the 5th station, which takes about 30 minutes. fujisan-climb.jp ↗
- On the Shizuoka side, entering the mountain between 14:00 and 03:00 requires a mountain-hut booking. Shizuoka has set no daily cap on climbers. fujisan-climb.jp ↗
- The official FAQ says that if you pay the fee on the Yoshida trail and descend a Shizuoka trail, you do not pay again. A separate Yamanashi notice asks climbers who come up from the Shizuoka side and descend through the Yoshida gate to pay ¥4,000 for the descending trail. fujisan-climb.jp ↗
