Hike Mt. Fuji
Hiking Mount Fuji during the summer climbing season can be fun, rewarding and a great way to experience Japan. It requires little expertise or equipment but a lack of preparation and disregard for simple, yet critical, safety precautions can result in serious injury or death. Anyone in good physical condition can climb Mount Fuji but it is not easy and should be approached as a legitimate physical and mental challenge. The official climbing season for Mount Fuji is from 1 July to 26 August.
The highest peak in Japan and the second highest single mountain in the world at 12,388 feet (3,776 meters) tall.
As high as about 8.5 Empire State Buildings.
Covered with gravel, rock, sand and volcanic ash.
Chilly even midsummer due to strong winds. It has an average temperature on the top of about 43 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees Celsius).
