The number of people who climb Mt.Fuji,a symbol of Japan is on the increase these past few years and reached around 350,000 in 2007. Most climbers can descend the mountain safely but some despair of climbing to the summit because of altitude sickness, injury, physical strength and other things. Some accidents of falling down led to climbers death. Therefore, it is very important to grasp hidden danger in order to evade and lessen risk. The purpose of this study is 1)to analyze all accidents in the mountain in summer for 20 years and grasp the characteristics of them by using police documents and 2)to grip the attributes of actual climbers and anxiety and risk recognized by them, and to examine the relationship between the attributes and consciousness of anxiety and risk clear. As a result, people of middle and advanced age have a tendency to be drawn into direct involvement in accidents at Mt. Fuji like other mountains in Japan. In addition to this, the contents of anxiety and risk recognized by actual climbers are different from the characteristics of accidents and the discrepancy between their consciousness and practice should be paid attention to.
