Climbing Mount Fuji: A Challenging Journey

Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak, opens its climbing season on July 1, 2025, drawing over 200,000 adventurers each year. However, did you know that approximately one in ten climbers chooses to turn back before reaching the summit? This alarming statistic highlights the need for effective preparation, especially given factors like the aging population of climbers, a surge in beginner mountaineers, and unpredictable weather patterns due to climate change.

The Growing Importance of Conditioning

As this trend continues, striking a balance between physical endurance and safety has become more vital than ever. One innovative method gaining attention is oxygen training, a new approach that emphasizes preparing your body for changing air conditions before taking on the mountain.

In Japan, the first specialized altitude training studio, High Altitude, caters to those feeling anxious about their first climb, concerned about their stamina, or worried about altitude sickness. The studio offers tailored programs that help climbers build the strength and confidence necessary for a successful ascent.

High Altitude's Methodology

High Altitude has leveraged altitude training principles used by top athletes to create a welcoming environment suitable for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Training in a low-oxygen setting is effective for enhancing cardiovascular function, improving stamina, and reducing the risk of altitude sickness.

At High Altitude, the training environment simulates conditions found at Mount Fuji's 7th station (approximately 2,500 meters above sea level), where oxygen concentration is around 15%. Participants engage in 30-minute sessions of light walking or aerobic exercises within this controlled setting.

The unique experience of exercising in a low-oxygen environment helps your body learn to optimize oxygen use, enhancing cardiovascular efficiency and endurance during the actual climb. By acclimatizing your body to these conditions before hitting the trail, you can tackle the challenges of climbing—such as breathing difficulties and fatigue—with greater ease and resilience.
