Description complète

En decembre 1707, le mont Fuji a fait eruption pour la derniere fois, dechirant une serie de craters dans son flanc sud-est et couvrant de cendres Edo, a cent trente kilometres, de poussiere. Le rebord de cette eruption est le mont Hoei, a 2 693 m le deuxieme point le plus haut de la montagne, et cette randonnee d'une journee marche droit dedans. Ou l'ascension du sommet concerne l'altitude et l'endurance, ceci concerne voir ce qu'un volcan fait vraiment : des coulees de lave brutes, des pentes de cendres meubles, et une paroi de cratere qui a a peine commence a faire repousser quoi que ce soit apres trois siecles.

L'itineraire couvre environ 7,2 km, commencant au camp de base de Fujinomiya a 2 400 m et grimpant jusqu'au sommet de Hoei a 2 693 m. Quatre a cinq heures de marche vous y amenent et vous ramenent, le terrain alternant entre sentier compacte et tronçons de roche exposee et gravier volcanique qui glisse sous les pieds. Le dejeuner, un bento japonais, est pris au sommet. La vue depuis le sommet couvre environ 280 degres : la caldera de Hakone a l'est, le lac Yamanaka parmi les cinq lacs du Fuji au nord, le littoral pacifique au sud, et derriere vous toute la masse grise du Fuji s'elevant vers le cone du sommet.

Le grand avantage pratique de Hoei est sa saison. La fenetre officielle d'escalade du Fuji ne dure qu'environ neuf semaines, de debut juillet a debut septembre, et en dehors, les refuges ferment et la montagne devient veritablement dangereuse. Cette randonnee fonctionne de mi-mai a mi-novembre, ce qui signifie que vous pouvez marcher haut sur le Fuji dans l'air clair de la fin de l'automne ou du debut de l'ete, quand les foules sont parties et la visibilite est a son meilleur.

Il est honnete d'appeler cela une randonnee intermediaire plutot qu'une facile. Vous etes au-dessus de 2 400 m pendant toute la marche, le gravier volcanique est fatigant et instable par endroits, et les sections exposees attrapent le vent. Il n'y a pas d'escalade a mains nues ni de difficulte technique, et les marcheurs reguliers en bonne sante la gerent confortablement, mais c'est une veritable journee de montagne plutot qu'une promenade pittoresque. Les guides sont des guides de montagne anglophones professionnels et le groupe est limite a huit.

La logistique est inhabituellement bien couverte. La journee dure environ de 8h30 a 17h00 porte a porte, avec une prise en charge gratuite a la gare de Gotemba ou au Fuji Mountain Coffee sur le depart de groupe, ou une prise en charge a l'hotel autour de Kawaguchiko, Hakone et Gotemba sur une reservation privee. Tout l'equipement de randonnee essentiel, y compris les bottes et les couches imper permeables, est prete sans frais supplementaires, donc vous n'avez pas besoin de voler au Japon avec un sac a dos d'equipement de montagne. La tarification est par personne sur le depart de groupe, qui necessite un minimum de deux voyageurs ; une version privee est disponible sur un bareme glissant par personne qui devient moins cher a mesure que le groupe grandit. Seuls des objets personnels comme un chapeau, des lunettes de soleil et vos propres medicaments vous sont laisses.

The price does not cover personal items (hat, sunglasses, personal medication). Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Expect uneven ground and some climbing, and mud after rain. Trainers with grip are the minimum and proper shoes are better. The pace follows the group, so tell your guide early if you want it slower rather than at the point you are struggling.
Fuji Mountain Guides. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Only during the official season, roughly early July to early September — exact dates are announced each year per route. Outside it the mountain huts close, and climbing becomes a serious mountaineering proposition rather than a hike. A mandatory climbing fee and a daily cap now apply on the Yoshida route, with the other routes following. Full detail in our guide to climbing Mount Fuji.
Counterintuitively, winter — the cold, dry air gives the clearest views, while humid summer haze often hides the mountain entirely. That means the climbing season is also the worst viewing season. Where and when to look is covered in our Mount Fuji viewpoints guide.
An Odakyu pass covering the whole Hakone loop — Tozan railway, cable car, ropeway, Lake Ashi boats and buses — for less than buying the legs separately. How the loop works and which direction to travel it is in getting around Hakone.
It varies. Many traditional baths still refuse tattoos, some now allow them with cover stickers, and a private bath (kashikiri) is the reliable workaround. Bathing etiquette and how to find tattoo-friendly options are in our Hakone onsen guide.
It was listed in 2013 for its influence on art, literature and pilgrimage — not for its geology. That is why the listing includes places like Oshino Hakkai and the Sengen shrines, not just the peak itself. Background in our climbing Mount Fuji guide.
Two days lets you do the loop without rushing and still soak properly in an onsen — a single day works but means moving constantly. Our Hakone 2-day itinerary maps it out hour by hour.
Most Hakone and Mt. Fuji private tours here are priced for the whole party, not per traveller — the operator is providing a vehicle and a guide, so a group of four pays the same as a couple. The exceptions are the group summit climbs, which are genuinely per person. Each tour page states which model applies.
