What to Bring to the Tour
Standing at 3,776 meters, Mt. Fuji is not only the highest point in Japan but also an active stratovolcano with a rich cultural and geological history. Revered in Japanese culture, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its stunning symmetry and spiritual significance.
The Fujinomiya Trail, starting at the 5th Station at an elevation of 2,400 meters, is the shortest and one of the steepest routes to the summit. This trail, located on the southern side of the mountain, offers a direct path to the top, but its steep inclines and rugged terrain make it a demanding climb. In comparison to its big sister, the famed Yoshida trail, this one is less frequented and therefore results in fewer crowds and less congestion on the trail.
Despite the challenges, the Fujinomiya Trail rewards you with unparalleled views of the surrounding landscape. As you climb, you'll be treated to panoramic vistas of the Izu Peninsula, Suruga Bay, and even as far as the distant Southern Alps on clear days.
And let’s not forget the legendary Goraiko – reaching the summit in the early morning to witness the sunrise!
We want you to completely immerse yourself in this unforgettable experience. We’ll take care of all the logistics – from booking accommodations to providing a comprehensive itinerary, GPS tracks and customer support. All you have to do is follow the trail and enjoy the challenge!
Make your dream of climbing Mt. Fuji a reality, and join us on this incredible adventure!

A fantastic 3 day self guided Hut to Hut hike around Triglav National Park in Slovenia. We experienced a full range of weather which made it an unforgettable trip. The organisation and back up support with GPS maps etc was excellent. Hut staff were friendly and very happy to give advice and suggestions on the routes and directions. Would recommend.
My friend and I went with Triglav Tours for a 3 day, 2 night hike this summer and had the most amazing time!! Our guide, Bine, was awesome and had lots of cool facts to share about the area we were hiking. Additionally, my friend and I had not completed such a technical hike before and the guide and other guests were very patient with us and encouraging, ensuring we felt safe the entire time. The overnights were also such a fun way to get to know Bine, the other guests, and other hikers as well. Cannot recommend Triglav tours enough!!!
I arranged a six-day/five-night trip with Hut to Hut Slovenia. It's the first time I've gone with a tour organizer and I can say it went really well. In the past I've arranged huts myself and it is a huge hassle figuring out how to make the bookings, if the bookings actually exist, and what good/viable routes might be. Having this all sort was, at least to me, totally worth it. The routing is via Ride with GPS, which was great. I'd recommend bringing 1:25,000 scale paper maps as a backup, just in case. The huts themselves differ wildly. Some are really rustic with, ahem, interesting toilet facilities. One was accessible by road and thus had showers, a long menu, and even espresso. All will have some sort of food, but you might only have two options for dinner (one with meat, one vegetarian). The cuisine in the Slovenian huts leans strongly to stews and goulashes with minimal fresh vegetables and/or fruit. Certainly good and hearty but pretty much everyone I talked to said the food was better in the Italian and Austrian huts. Some huts are cash only, some take cards (but the card reader might be down). A 1.5 litre bottle of water is about 6 euro, so if you have a beer with dinner and also buy lunch you need to carry about 25-30 euro per day in cash (assuming you have a booking that includes breakfast). Of the six days of hiking, four were ridiculously spectacular, with the highlight being sunrise from Mt Stol. Getting up to the high mountains, though, can be crazy steep, with switchbacks only sparsely used. Descents are similarly tough, and you have to watch every step. For the first time ever I used trekking poles and my knees thank me. Two days were a bit of a slog, but this is probably unavoidable getting up to or down from the high terrain. Would I do something like this again? Yes, absolutely! But next time it will probably be the Dolomites.
We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)
