2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide
Description
Mt. Fuji Guided Tour for International Beginners: 【Expert Support】 Climb with English-speaking guides authorized by Fujiyoshida City. Our pros manage pace, safety, and weather decisions. We maintain a high ratio (1 guide per 20-25 hikers) to support every climber. 【8th Station Hut Stay】 We secure a hut at the 8th Station (3,100m+). Staying higher means a shorter, easier final ascent for the "Goraiko" (sunrise) than lower huts. 【Exclusive Benefits】 Summit Certificate: Get an official certificate at the top from your guide! Post-Climb Onsen: Relax in a natural hot spring after descending. (No tattoos allowed) Starter Kit: Free safety guide, gloves, and mineral water. Special Discounts: Wooden hiking sticks, oxygen, and ice cream. 【Easy Logistics】 Gear Rental: Pick up and return pre-booked gear (shoes/rainwear) at the 5th station. No need to carry heavy equipment from Tokyo! 5th Station Base: Free rest area for changing. Luggage storage is available for your non-climbing bags.
