Updated on June 2, 2017
The Mt. Fuji Tourism Climbing Route 3776 is an approximately 42-kilometer route newly established by Fuji City that begins at sea level and extends to the summit of Mt. Fuji at 3,776 meters. Visitors to the route can view the spectacular scenery of Mt. Fuji from every possible angle, take in the history and tread the very same sea-to-summit path as many people of old, as well as enjoy the tourist and industrial resources located amongst the abundant natural environment that is Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay—qualities truly unique to the Mt. Fuji Tourism Climbing Route 3776. Fuji City and all its citizens look forward to warmly welcoming all those who wish to take the route on.

Precautions
The Mt. Fuji Tourism Climbing Route 3776 is an approximately 42-kilometer route that we recommend hikers complete over four days.
To ensure the safety of all hikers, we ask that all who attempt the route fill in and submit the Challenge Plan after reading through the Challengers’ Seven Pledges. (Forms can also be submitted via the starting point postboxes on the day of departure.)
Those who submit the Challenge Plan and successfully complete the sea-to-summit route will receive a Certificate of Completion.
Route 3776 Stamp Rally
The Route 3776 Stamp Rally was created so that hikers could further enjoy the Mt. Fuji Tourism Climbing Route 3776.
There are a variety of ways to take on the climb other than our recommended three nights, four days, such as dividing the climb into sections and covering it on separate days.
Hikers who complete the stamp rally will receive a special completion badge, while those who submit a Challenge Plan will also receive a Certificate of Completion.
We look forward to your visit!
