For those planning a day mountain climbing trip

Climbing Mt. Fuji as a day trip is extremely dangerous unless you have sufficient physical strength and experience. Make a plan that suits your physical strength and be mindful of what time you should start descending the mountain so that you can catch the bus home in time.
* Do not climb without a plan and sufficient gear: Climbing with light gear and bullet climbing involve high risk.
