Our Legacy and Mission
From its summit location, the Mt. Fuji Weather Station has been a cornerstone of Japanese meteorology for seven decades. Though government-led radar observations concluded in 1999, its scientific value remains unmatched.
In 2005, our nonprofit organization was formed to revitalize the station. Since 2007, we have provided a platform for cutting-edge atmospheric, medical, and environmental research that cannot be conducted anywhere else.
How You Can Help
As a nonprofit, we rely on the support of individuals and organizations to maintain our operations. Your contributions directly fund the infrastructure and resources necessary for high-altitude research. Join us in our mission to pass on a healthier planet to the next generation.

Over the past 5 years I have had the honor of being involved in the Mt. Fuji Project
and observed its evolution into a viable and respected high elevation monitoring
program. This has been due in large part to your insightful and tireless efforts. You
are to be congratulated... Read more >

I would express my deepest appreciation for your participation and presentation in the Second International Symposium and Training Workshop on Atmospheric Observations and Advanced Measuring Techniques in Remote Areas, held in Taipei on 2-5 June, 2009.... Read more >
Dr. Paolo Laj
Information on atmospheric composition, from the local to the global scale, is of strategic value. However, despite substantial improvements in the last decade in the development of Earth observing tools, there is still a crucial need for both consolidation of the existing observation infrastructure and development of a more efficient observing system that would narrow major data and information gaps, and assist stake holders in planning new investments....

This letter is to acknowledge that Mt. Fuji is a unique Mountain Observatory where long term measurements of atmospheric chemistry observations, consistent with the guidelines and protocols of the World Meteorological Organization's Global Atmospheric Watch programme, would be welcome. Mt Fuji is a high elevation observatory that samples the middle troposphere and would fill a large gap in the GAW global network of elevated observatories ... Read more >
