Disappointing (the company not the hike)
Pretty disappointed with the company that does this tour. Our guide barely spoke English despite booking "English speaking". During the entire climb up we blew through many stations where we wanted to stamp the stick and the guide was always rushing us the whole time we felt we couldn't actually enjoy the hike. At one point she said "no time to buy water" like nah, I need water you can go on without me I don't care. We get to the summit with a perfect west view of the mountain but we had opted to go to the crater, which was never explained to us, only asked if we wanted to go which yeah sure sounds cool. Until you realize it's another 45 mins after the top, with a pretty lame view of the sunrise. We almost ditched the group to stay on the west side so we could have a good spot for the sunrise. The food they give you for the top is terrible, bring your own. After the hike we had no idea what to do for the bus to the hot bath, and then the hot bath is crowded as hell and they don't allow tattoos, so big waste of time there. Overall, if you consider yourself even an amateur hiker, go without a guide. Or go with a different company. This one is just a money grab.

Fuji Mountain Guides
Can’t recommend Fuji Mountain Guides enough. The guides were so friendly and helpful but more importantly they made you feel safe with their professional approach.

Why this scores 55

2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does 2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $59,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tokyo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide take?
+
Plan for about 38 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tokyo is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 38-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tokyo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tokyo and add a light layer if any part of the 38-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tokyo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tokyo?
+
Tokyo is less a city than a stack of neighborhoods with completely different opening hours. A guided food crawl through Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho gets you past the no-tourist curtains, while the day trips west to Hakone and Fuji need an early start to be worth the fare. Our ranking weighs guide quality heavily here, because in Tokyo the guide is the product. On Outty we rank every Tokyo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Shinjuku: Izakaya Food Tour (3-4 Stops, 14+ Tastings), Tokyo: Asakusa Senso-ji Temple & Old Town Walking Tour, Matcha Making Class in Tokyo with Authentic Japanese Sweets Set. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tokyo?
+
Late March to May for blossom, October to November for clear Fuji views. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tokyo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What happens to 2-Day Mt. Fuji Summit Climb & 8th Station Stay with English Guide if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Tokyo. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
