Please include sufficient time and physical fitness in your climbing plan. Ensure you are properly equipped and in good physical condition before attempting to climb Mt. Fuji.

(*1) Bullet climb: A climbing style in which you depart from the 5th station at night and aim to reach the summit by sunrise without staying overnight in a mountain hut.
(*2) Lightweight hiking: A hiking style that does not involve carrying necessary equipment.
