GARBAGE
There are no garbage bins on Mt. Fuji, not even at the 5th station and not at any of the mountain huts located along the way. At FMG we commit ourselves to accomplishing Leave No Trace principals and expect any participants on our tours to follow the same principals. Any garbage you bring up the mountain must come back down with you. Please bring along an extra ziplock bag to keep your garbage in and help to preserve the natural beauty on Mt. Fuji.
TRANSPORTATION

ACCOMMODATION

GROUP SIZE
We keep a strict guide/client ratio of 1:9, with a maximum of 27 participants and 3 guides per group tour. While most group tours do exceed 9, each participant is allowed to hike at their own pace on day 1. On our summit attempt on day 2 the group is more tightly managed.
SNACKS
You will need snacks for each day of your climb. Buying snacks at a mountain hut is an option but they are overpriced and infrequent at times. We suggest bringing crackers, candy bars, jerky, chips, cookies, trail mix, fruits, energy bars, and hard candies. Add peanut butter, cream cheese, hard cheese, or pepperoni for additional calories and taste. If you enjoy bread items, bagels work well. Include some salty snacks to replenish lost salts.
