Climbing Mt. Fuji Made Simple: What You Need to Know

The Complete Climbing Mt. Fuji Guidebook

Our commitment to surpassing our customer’s expectations have defined what a Mt. Fuji climbing tour should be.  In 2013, Richard (our head guide and company founder) published the very first edition of "Climbing Mt. Fuji "A Complete Guidebook". The guidebook was dedicated to help our guests and Mt. Fuji climbers in planning and preparing for a successful Mt. Fuji climb and provides climbers with useful and possibly lifesaving information. Since the original guidebook was published back in 2013, there has been 4 undated editions published, and it has become the best selling Guidebook on Climbing Mt. Fuji available on the market. Richard also appeared on a television segment called, Japan's 100 Most Famous Mountains as a professional English-speaking Guide on Japan's national Broadcasting Channel (NHK).

In the beginning, many climbers commented on the lack of English information available on climbing Mt. Fuji. Therefore, we (and when I say we I mean Richard our Founder and Head Mountain Guide) created a unique Mt. Fuji climbing handbook for our Mt. Fuji climbing tours. The goal of the handbook was not only to provide practical information about climbing Mt. Fuji but also to introduce some of the cultural rituals associated with climbing historic Mt. Fuji.  
 
Created just for our Mt. Fuji climbing tours, we ended up publishing the handbook (at the request of our customers) into a fully packed Mt. Fuji information guidebook in 2013 and it has thus unexpectedly become the best selling Mt. Fuji climbing guidebook on the market.  The latest edition of “Climbing Mt. Fuji A Complete Guidebook” can be found on Amazon.com. ​
This is a "must read" for anyone who wishes to be successful in climbing Mt. Fuji. Don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity of the mountain - it is a tough and grueling climb and the guidebook explains all there is to know about it. The guidebook is a comprehensive and easy to read recipe for what it takes physically and psychologically to get to the summit of this amazing but unpredictable mountain.The guidebook covers all facets of preparation, equipment, training and most importantly, altitude. The 4th edition of " is your complete preparation package and the only guidebook you will need to design your Mt. Fuji climb.

Editorial Reviews:
Excellent book by a very experienced guide!
I read this comprehensive book and then climbed Mt Fuji summit with Richard together with my husband and girlfriends. Such a wonderful experience. It's very important to understand the complexities and potential dangers before you take on such a climb. We did it off-season in June and would not attempt this without such a guide. Richard not only educated us on the best route to take but he also showed us how to walk so we maintained our energy level and we did not suffer physically after the climb. So beautiful and once in a life time experience made possible and very memorable by Richard Reay and his guidebook. Thank you Richard!
