  • Dress smart: Mt. Fuji’s weather changes fast, so wear layers to stay comfy. Bring good walking shoes too—especially if your tour includes the 5th Station or lots of stairs.
  • Try local flavors: Don’t miss Hoto noodles (a Mt. Fuji regional specialty) or fresh street snacks like mochi and grilled corn at the local markets.
  • Bring an ID: Some tours (especially with bullet train returns) may require ID checks or pre-registered names.
  • Gotemba Premium Outlets are included in many tours—look out for seasonal discounts, and keep your passport handy for tax-free shopping.
