What makes this place special?

At a Glance

Mount Fuji is Japan’s highest volcano, known for its symmetrical cone above Yamanashi and Shizuoka.

The 3,776-metre peak can be appreciated from surrounding viewpoints or approached on a seasonal summit climb. These are different experiences: this entry represents the mountain itself, rather than a particular trailhead, observation point or tour. Four summit trails approach from the two prefectures, with different routes and access rules. Use the official climbing guide when planning an ascent.

  • Japan’s highest mountain at 3,776 metres
  • Four summit routes across two prefectures

Know before you go

  • Check the official trail status before planning a climb. The 2026 summit season has ended and summit trails are closed for winter. Viewing Mount Fuji from the surrounding area is a different visit; check the chosen viewpoint or facility separately.
