Gazing down on Japan from atop its symbolic mountain is high on the bucket list for most visitors and residents alike, but at 3,766m it’s not the effortless stroll that many elderly Japanese people make it seem. If climbing Mount Fuji is your summer to-do this year, here’s what you need to know.
Important: Due to safety concerns, the climb should only be attempted during Mount Fuji’s climbing season. The mountain trails are officially closed outside of this time. You can try some other Tokyo hikes instead.
