Climbing Mount Fuji in 2 days, Japan

The summer climbing season is from the start of July to early September. The first two weeks of July are the rainy season in Japan, but generally, the upper parts of Mt. Fuji are above the rain clouds, especially in the morning.

Rain is not sufficient to cancel a trip, but there is a possibility we may adjust the departure timing or offer an alternative date in the event of dangerous weather conditions such as lightning or typhoons.
