About this experience
A once in a lifetime opportunity to walk on Mt. Fuji and see the biggest crater of the mountain. With an expert local nature guide, you will be able to learn about the eruption and the forest growing on Mt. Fuji. There are lots of unique wildlife and plants to discover - not only lava rocks. The view on a sunny day will be spectacular. This will be perfect for those seeking a unique outdoor adventure on the most famous mountain in the world.
What to expect
Embark on an unforgettable full-day eco hike exploring Mt. Fuji's dramatic Hoei Crater – the site of the mountain’s last major eruption in 1707. Starting from the lush forest trails near Mizugatsuka Park, you'll ascend through diverse landscapes and volcanic terrain to reach the rim of the massive Hoei Crater. Discover the raw power of nature and learn how eruptions shaped the iconic form of Mt. Fuji. Optional: Shorter Route Available If you're concerned about your fitness level or prefer a gentler hike, we also offer a shorter version of the tour that visits only the Hoei No.3 Crater, which is less physically demanding. This option still offers striking views and a great introduction to Mt. Fuji’s volcanic geology – perfect for those who want to enjoy the tour at a more relaxed pace.
