During our Okutama rafting trips we meet at Mitake Station (90min direct train from Shinjuku) and walk together along the river to the rafting base. After getting changed and equipped we spend the morning heading down stream on the rafts, battling the rapids along the way! Its six people per raft so its also a great way to meet people as you work together to master the river.
After a fun morning on the river we take a short riverside stroll to the local sake brewery where we can have lunch by the river and try some of the fantastic local rice wine on offer. There is also the option to visit one of the local hot springs as well before heading back to Tokyo.

Mt. Fuji Hike (Overnight at mountain hut)
Shinjuku Center Building, 1 Chome-25 Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku City, Tokyo, JPA two day / one night trip to climb the mighty Mt. Fuji and watch the sunrise from the summit of Japan's highest mountain!
PLEASE SIGN UP ON THE OFFICIAL TRIP PAGE. More information and booking details here!
This is a once in a lifetime experience! With the goal of watching the sunrise from the highest point in Japan, we will be hiking over two days and staying one night in a Mountain Hut near the summit.
The official climbing season for Mt Fuji lasts for only a few months, from July to early September. The trek to the summit is extremely popular and is completed annually by around 250,000 people! Reaching the summit of this incredible mountain leaves an unbeatable feeling of achievement and the spectacular views are well worth the hike. Our hike will be timed so that we will reach the summit before the sunrise, catching the first rays of sunlight from the highest point in Japan while the rest of the country sleeps!
There are several different trails to climb Mt. Fuji. On this trip, we will be taking the Fujinomiya trail starting at the 5th station. This is the highest 5th station starting point of all the Mt Fuji trails and as such the hike to the summit is the shortest of all the routes. It is considered an intermediate level course, and while there is no actual climbing required, there are some steep parts where you will need to use your hands. We will be taking the hike nice and easy to allow us to climatize to the altitude and reserve our energy.
Our hiking group will be split into smaller groups of 12 people with one guide per group.
