Yoshida Route from Shinjuku (no guide) Mountain hut selection available

1. A simple, cost-effective tour

This plan eliminates the 90-120 minute hot spring soak after descending the mountain. Eliminating the travel time to the hot spring and the bathing time has two major benefits.

① Arrive around Shinjuku Station at 2pm at the earliest!

By eliminating the need to stop at a hot spring after descending the mountain, you can avoid afternoon highway traffic jams, which means you can get home earlier and spend more time recovering from fatigue.

②It's a great deal because there is no charge for hot spring bathing!

We will offer you a great deal by omitting the hot spring bathing fee. Since it is summer, even if you bathe in the hot spring, you will sweat again by the time you get home and then take another bath at home, so we thought it would be unnecessary and removed it from the plan, resulting in a great deal without any waste. The plan includes everything you need, such as an accompanying mountain guide, rental mountain climbing equipment, and a staff member on the bus. It is a simple plan, but it allows you to concentrate on climbing Mt. Fuji, so please join us with peace of mind.

2. The Yoshida Route is safe and comfortable thanks to its comprehensive infrastructure.

The greatest appeal of the Yoshida Route is that it has the most complete climbing infrastructure to support those attempting to climb Mt. Fuji for the first time.

Advantage 1: No need to worry about preparations! Fully equipped facilities at the fifth station

There are four large shops, including Unjokaku, Gogoen Rest House, Miharashi, and Komitake, where you can not only purchase souvenirs, but also have coin lockers (fees apply), changing spaces, restaurants, and toilets. It's a very convenient environment where you won't have to worry about changing clothes or storing your luggage before climbing.

2. Comfortable descent! The trails for ascending and descending are separated.

From the sixth station onwards, the ascending trail and the descent trail are completely separated. (The descent trail from the summit to the eighth station will be open from July 10th.) This structural advantage means that you won't have to pass climbers ascending when descending, allowing you to concentrate on walking with peace of mind even when you're tired.

Advantage 3: Plenty of toilets! A safe environment for beginners

There are 18 toilets on the Yoshida Trail, from the fifth station to the summit. This is roughly double the number of toilets found in mountain huts and public toilets compared to the Fujinomiya Trail. It provides a safe environment where you can concentrate on your climb without having to worry about finding a toilet. (Note: All toilets except the public toilet at the fifth station require a fee (200-300 yen per use).)

3. Mountaineering equipment rental included

The tour includes a set of seven essential items. [Rental Set Contents] 1. Hiking boots 2. Rain gear (top and bottom) 3. Short spats 4. Rucksack (with rucksack cover) 5. Poles 6. Headlamp 7. Fleece. While warm clothing is essential for climbing Mt. Fuji, many people who don't rent winter gear tend to bring incomplete winter gear, such as one that's too bulky or only a down jacket. For this reason, we've included a fleece, an essential winter garment, in the set. A frequently asked question is, "I have a down jacket, but do I need a fleece?" Down jackets become unusable if they get wet, including from sweat, so be sure to bring both down and fleece as winter clothing.
