Viewing advice

In 2026 the Yoshida Trail was open from July 1 to September 10, Subashiri from July 1, and Fujinomiya and Gotemba from July 10. Shizuoka trails require the FUJI NAVI app e-learning QR. 2027 trail opening dates are not yet announced.

The best time to see Mount Fuji Climbing Season in 2027 is Early July to September 10, 2027. Timing status: Season.

Fuji's summit is open for barely seventy days a year, and the rules now have teeth: an entry fee, a daily cap on the Yoshida Trail, and a gate that closes overnight to anyone without a hut booking, built to end the era of climbing it in one sleepless push.
