Mount Fuji Guide

A video of a man who fell from Mount Fuji summit / MFG

MFG — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 22:29:05 +0900

One of the most frequently asked questions at Mount Fuji Guide is "can I climb Mount Fuji in winter?"
Because we are not expert climbers, we cannot give you a judgement whether you have enough skill for winter climbing or not.
All we can do is to show what kind of risks are involved in climbing the mountain in winter.
Today we found yet another news about a man who fell from the icy mountain.
Luckily the man was rescued and now recovering from fractured legs and frostbite, according to the article.
You can watch the video of the man falling down the slope here:

I climbed Mount Fuji! / Pixienickie

My boyfriend and I are both English teachers in Tokyo. Mount Fuji was our last thing on our list of things to do in Japan before we return to Canada. I read a lot about Mount Fuji before leaving but none of the posts fully prepared me for what was to come. We ended up spending a lot of money on things we didn't think of until we were on the Mountain and the prices were outrageous.
This is my list for what you NEED to take to climb Mount Fuji:

Jeff,
Saw your post. The original post was for 2010, but since you posted 3 weeks ago I assume you are referring to August 2011. I was planning to climb August 31. Does that fit your schedule?

Hi everyone,
My name is Angie and I'm from the UK, travelling to Japan for a couple of weeks in September.
If anyone's interested in doing a night climb on 4th Sept or a day one on 5th let me know :)
my email is ang.whistles@gmail.com
I'll be coming from Tokyo so I'm thinking of getting the bus from Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko 5th station and going up the Yoshida trail from there. Also if anyone knows how crowded it usually is around that time it'd be really helpful to know!

I could climb on Sept 2 but / norb2011

norb2011 — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 16:46:46 +0900

I could climb on Sept 2 but it would have to ba a day light climb. I have a plane to catch on Sept 3. So we would have to be up and down the same day and I would still need to get back to Tokyo. That might be cutting it too close for me.
