Are you a cyclist?

Ready to take on Mt. Fuji and ride past your own limits?

Mark June 2027 in your calendar. At the Mt. Fuji Hill Climb, more than 8,000 cyclists set off together for Fuji 5th Station, some 2,300 m above sea level.

Enter early with NKI and your place on the start line, your rooms and every piece of race-weekend logistics are secured well in advance.

The route

From the foot of the mountain to Fuji 5th Station.

Every June, more than 8,000 cyclists gather for the Mt. Fuji Hill Climb, one of the largest and most anticipated climbs in the Japanese calendar. From the foot of Mt. Fuji the road tilts upward along the Fuji Subaru Line and climbs to Fuji 5th Station at around 2,300 m. This is a race for riders who want to measure themselves against a famous climb and carry home a milestone worth remembering.

More than a race

Four days, told pedal stroke by pedal stroke.

01Chapter 01

Bring your own bike to Japan

The journey begins the moment your own bike leaves for Japan.

We ship it, rebuild it and check it over, so it is ready for the road ahead.

02Chapter 02

Settle into Yamanashi

Ride with your group at the foot of Mt. Fuji, take in the Yamanashi air and tune your legs for race day.

Then wait for the moment you roll to the start line beside thousands of other cyclists.

03Chapter 03

And the climb begins

Every turn of the pedals lifts you higher. Every ramp tests your endurance. And ahead of you stands Fuji 5th Station.

Crossing the line is the reward for every kilometre you have ridden to get there.

04Chapter 04

A recovery ride around the mountain

The next morning, instead of hurrying away from Mt. Fuji, roll out with your group on an easy recovery ride through Oshino Hakkai, Lake Yamanaka and Panorama-dai.

The legs come back to life, and the mountain you climbed yesterday rises again in front of you.
