ROAD TO MT. FUJI
Reach the tallest summit in Japan with us!
Check climbing Mt. Fuji off your bucket list with our summer annual trip! Mt. Fuji, the tallest mountain in Japan, peaks at 12,388 feet where climbers must ascend for 5 - 8 hours and descend for another 3 - 5 hours. Prepare for the hike with ODR through their hiking trips, climbing opportunities, and trips to outdoor shops where they can help you with necessary gear needed and how to pack your bag.
How difficult is it to climb Mt. Fuji?
It's vital for hikers to be aware of such challenges before their excursion up the legendary Mt. Fuji. The average temperature at the summit is 40° F during midsummer! Temperatures plummet even lower during nights and mornings, so make sure to wear warm clothing.
In a single day's trip, you'll ascend 1,471 meters in about 7 hours. With elevation that high, some hikers may experience altitude sickness. This is due to the decrease in oxygen at high altitudes.
Preparation & Supplies
Limit caffeine & alcohol 24 hours prior.
Get plenty of sleep (at least 8 hours).
Acquire proper equipment.
Pack necessities only. Avoid “nice to have” supplies. AVOID OVERPACKING.
Keep the weight in your backpack to no more than 5 lbs. A heavy pack will overtax you and cut off blood circulation to your limbs. Less weight means better balance.
Consume high-protein foods in light weight packages rather than cans.
Kadena ODR is here to support your training needs for Mt. Fuji! Keep up with the latest tips, trips, and recommendations on Kadena Outdoor Recreation. Watch out for the supply checklist next month!
