This is a rare opportunity to spend a night in a temple that is not set up for tourists. The temple is still operating as it did 700 years ago performing multiple daily ceremonies. Unlike typical tourist temples, you will have an opportunity to see everything on the inside and get to see how full time monks live in Japan. This is a temple only reachable by climbing the mountain, and there are many Japanese Buddhist practioners who climb this as a pilgrimage route, so this is a genuine experience.

Sliding down Mt fuji.
Snow climbed during May. Absolutely worth it. Sliding down is extremely fun 9 to 7.5 stat. which save a lot of time and effort. The hike was not easy at all. Every station rest and emergency food saved me . The lessons guide taught us was critical and the training was easy to understand. Personally prefer to climb even earlier like start 6 am.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tokyo.
How much does 2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan cost?
+
Prices start at ¥34,500 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 Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Tokyo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 72 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 Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan?
+
Around 0 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan 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 is included in 2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan?
+
Included: Dinner; In-vehicle air conditioning; Breakfast; Accident Insurance; and Certified Mountain Guide. Not included: Lunch and snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1118 listed pickup locations in and around Tokyo. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 2-Day Private Guided Overnight Hike & Buddhist Temple Stay in Shichimenzan wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
