Our tips for Mt Fuji

  • Dress for the weather: You're heading into the mountains, so be prepared. It will undoubtedly be cooler there during the Autumn and winter months, so wrap up. But, of course, you wouldn't want to get a chill!
  • Keeping it clean: If you are travelling by train, you'll notice how clean they are. So don't forget to take any rubbish with you. There are plenty of places to get rid of empty drink bottles and food wrappers. Often, they are labelled in Japanese and English.

Good to know

There are different views depending on the time of year you visit. The mountain can look especially pretty during the Spring and cherry blossom season. But that all depends on the weather, so you'll need to really do your research. Autumn, you have lovely colours and summer is when you can actually climb the mountain. Winter ensures you see it snow-capped, and it's when the weather is at its clearest.
