Mt. Fuji is one of the most recognized mountains in the world and for many the first thing people want to do when they see it, is climb it. It is only in the last hundred years that people in fact have been regularly climbing Mt Fuji. However, since ancient times, Mt. Fuji has been revered as a sacred spirit. The Shinto Shrine (Jinja in Japanese) means “Place of the God” Many of the Shrines locations are meant to indicate the powerful relationship between nature and god, there are two Shinto Shrines on the summit of Mt. Fuji. Even today, pilgrims, including members of Fuji-ko, still climb Mt. Fuji and stop to worship at the Shrines alone the way.
Climbing Mt. Fuji is more than just a hiking experience. It is a unique cultural experience with its own set of unspoken customs. The people working on Mt. Fuji during the climbing season are a tight community: the mountain hut owners, mountain hut staff, Shinto Shrine Monks, Priests and Mt. Fuji Guides all know each other in some capacity, and endeavor to respect and carry on the ancient traditions to ensure the strong mystical appeal of Mt. Fuji continues. As one of the few non-Japanese Mt. Fuji guiding companies creating and maintaining wholesome relationships with locals is key to being accepted into this close-knit society.
