Message from Masaki
Mt. Fuji is considered one of the most beautiful and respected mountain in Japan. Fujinomiya local say “Mt. Fuji is not a mountain to climb, only good to view from city". Even though, you will meet many wonderful sceneries and experience once you climb Mt. Fuji.
Majestic sunrise from Mt. Fuji, the Japan's largest shadow "KageFuji", a huge hole at the peak "Tainaiin crater", those natural creatures fascinates so many hikers for so many years.
FUJI SUNRISE’s mission is to provide ‘inspirations for adventure’ to our customers through our Mt. Fuji experience. We support our customers from preparation up until the climbing day and we have welcomed and safely guided many entry-level climbers.
