Mount Fuji is sung by many poets, writers and artists of the Land of the Rising Sun and is an iconic landmark of this country. Sacred to the Japanese, Fuji attracts not only religious people to its slopes, but also ordinary travelers seeking to conquer one of the most beautiful volcanoes on earth.
According to an ancient Japanese legend, only a true hero can climb Mount Fuji. There is some truth in this, because climbing to a height of 3,776 meters is not an easy task. And if you, going on vacation to Japan, decide to climb Mount Fuji, take it very seriously.
First you need to decide on the route. Now there are four official routes on Fuji, differing in length and difficulty. The most dangerous of them, Gotemba-Guchi, is suitable only for professional climbers. You should not trust guides who will offer you “unexplored routes without tourists”; this can be very dangerous. It is better to purchase tours to Japan from Russia from a reliable operator who will tell you in detail about all the possible nuances of climbing Mount Fuji.
When going to Fuji, pay special attention to your clothing. Because, despite the fact that the tourist season here is in July-August, it can be quite cool at the top (sometimes the temperature drops below zero).
You should also respect what is sacred to the Japanese: do not enter Sinoist temples without an invitation, do not throw away garbage, but take it with you.
