About this activity

【The pickup service is available only for guests who are already staying in Kawaguchiko or Fujiyoshida area, or for those who can come to the areas on their own.】

Escape the crowds and experience the peaceful side of Mt. Fuji!

At 2,305m (7,500ft), the 5th Station offers stunning views and clean mountain air—perfect for a relaxing walk. On this tour, we’ll hike a 2.5 km (1.6 mile) section of the historic Ochudo Trail, once used by pilgrims on spiritual journeys.

The path is mostly flat with gentle slopes, making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels. A certified local English mountain guide will share stories about Mt.Fuji’s unique nature and culture.

After the hike, enjoy an authentic local specialty at a local restaurant!

This tour is available from May to December, and we provide free rental gear so even outdoor beginners or travelers without hiking equipment can join!

Take your time, walk slowly and let Mt.Fuji’s quiet beauty leave a lasting impression.
