Let's climb Mt. Fuji seven times in one day.
Mt. Fuji has been worshipped as Mt. Fuji faith since ancient times. Mt. Fuji-ko associations were established in Tokyo to spread Mt. Fuji faith and built a small Mt. Fuji (Fuji-zuka) in various parts of Tokyo. Climbing a small Mt. Fuji is said to bring the same benefits as climbing Mt. Fuji itself. On July 1st, Mt. Fuji opens to the public. On the same date, mountain opening ceremonies are also held at the small Mt. Fuji-s in Tokyo. Many small Mt. Fuji-s are allowed to climb only on June 30th and July 1st every year.
On this tour, you will climb 7 small Mt. Fuji-s among 11 Mt. Fuji-s on the itinerary on these dates.
The locations on the tour will be different depending to the dates, the weather, the year, etc. Please see the information on tour locations.
We travel by public transportation and walk quite a bit.
Climbing small Mt. Fuji-s is a pilgrimage, so please bring some coins for a donation.
