Description

Experience the thrill of summiting Mount Fuji (3776m), Japan's highest and most iconic mountain with a local, certified guide! Join me for a 1-day climbing trip in the on-season, from July to August.

Join one of our open groups to discover the magic of this incomparable peak during the summer season! Summer offers comfortable temperatures and generally clear skies, maximizing your summit chances and providing truly incredible views.

We will start at 6:00AM from Fujinomiya-guchi at 6:00 AM, beginning at an altitude of 2,350 meters. It will take us about 5 hours to reach the summit of Mount Fuji, arriving around noon. This will be a challenging day, but climbing the mythical and beautiful Mount Fuji will bring a rewarding sense of achievement. Please note that for your safety, if the ascent takes you 6 hours, you should start your descent at that point. Ensure you maintain your fitness and health.

The same route will take us back, enjoying breathtaking views along the descent. About 3 or 4 in the afternoon we will be back in the car park and drive back to our accommodation.

Contact me if you want to enjoy a unique experience ascending the highest peak in my country!

Mountain Guide

I am a JMGA mountain guide based in the seaside town of Miura in Kanagawa prefecture, offering a mix of outdoors guiding activities in both the mountains and the sea. What I value the most in guiding is to of course guide my clients safely but also for my clients to spend a quality time in the rich nature. Exposing yourself in the rich nature by taking part in outdoor activities, and by removing everything in between you and the nature, I believe that you’ll be able to experience the extraordinary. It could be the overwhelming feel from witnessing the change in landscapes through seasons, or that you learnt to speak to your own body and heart, or that you deepened the understanding of the local area, and of course it could be that precious moment where you can experience this together with other people!

I am also certified in Japan Avalanche Network (JAN) at Level 2.
In the summer, I guide in the mountains, mainly in the North Japan Alps, and sea kayak, and in the winter I take clients backcountry skiing.
Whatever the discipline, my focus is always for my clients to be able to “feel” and to be one with the nature. The integral part of the fun is to interact with the locals, to meet the local culture, and to breathe in the air there as a total package!
So, in the summer I like to take clients deep into the mountains accessed by using both the sea kayak and your climbing / hiking skills, as well as staying in tents at night. I think it is a pity if you only spend time in the mountains or only in the sea!
And in the winter, I’d like to show my clients that backcountry skiing is not all about chasing powder but it is about getting joy from the mountains in totality.

I am looking forward to meeting you and sharing a quality time in the land of varying seasonal beauties!

Tadashi is an incredible guide. A real professional with extensive experience climbing Mt. Fuji. We reached the summit with no issue. He also supported me with gear and transportation. I would not have had this incredible experience without Tadashi! Tadashi is an incredible guide. A real professional with extensive experience climbing Mt. Fuji. We reached the summit with no issue.

Tadashi was amazing. Kept us safe. Gave us instructions ahead of the hike on equipment and preparation. I would highly recommend him. This is the best way to experience Mount Fuji.

Excellent trip, I recommend it!

Tadashi is a knowledgeable guide who knows how to plan a great backcountry tour to find great snow, gorgeous views and stay safe throughout the day. I had an awesome trip!

Tadashi Terada is an excellent guide. I asked him to take me up Mount Fuji by the Subashiri Trail in early May 2024, when there was still 1000 meters of snow and ice on the mountain and the trail ropes were buried. Tadashi was patient, professional, careful, loyal, funny, and excellent at route-finding (we descended through the snowfield and bush zone after dark because of my slow pace). The travel, food and lodging arrangements which Tadashi made after picking me up in Tokyo were also first rate. I very highly recommend him as a guide and person.
