Mt. Fuji Kawaguchi-ko 5th station

Fuji Mountain Guides first tour of the season is coming up in just a few days. The trail we ordinarily use (Subashiri) is still unpassable due to snow, therefore we will be using the Yoshida trail on our first tour this Thursday. Here are some pictures of Mt. Fuji and Kawaguchi-ko 5th station taken this past weekend by Luke Cummings.

Gear Rental

Fuji Mountain Guides is offering rental climbing equipment beginning this season. 

When you book your Mt. Fuji tour online, you will have the option of renting various items from FMG. Renting means that you won't have to haul all of your outdoor gear through airports and train stations. When you meet your FMG guide he will present your gear to you--when the trip is over, you give it back and never have to think about it again, Its that easy.

 

Items currently available for rental along with there prices are: 

 

Head Lamp ¥750

Hiking Poles ¥1,000 for a pair

Gaiters ¥700

Backpack rain cover ¥700

Polarized Sunglasses ¥1,000

 

More items will most likely be added in the near future.
