According to Japanese media reports, in order to prevent too many people from climbing Mount Fuji, the Japanese government's Ministry of the Environment, Yamanashi Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture jointly launched a new reservation system, starting from May 20, 2024, people need to enter the "Fuji Mountaineering オフィシャルサイト" (Mt. Fuji Mountaineering official website) through computers or mobile phones to register and make an appointment to climb Mount Fuji, with a maximum of 4,000 people per day.
In addition to the provisions of the new system to make a reservation in advance, you also need to pay a toll, and you need to pay a fee of 2,000 yen (about 100RMB) per person to climb Mt. Fuji in the future, and tourists can choose the number of people they want to climb on the official website and complete the online payment. At the same time, you can choose whether or not you want to pay 1,000 yen for the Mt. Fuji Security Cooperation Fund. To meet the needs of group travel, transactions can now be processed by 1 representative, with a lump sum payment for up to 100 people. Foreign tourists do not have to worry about language barriers, and the reservation system is available in Japanese, English, and Chinese versions to facilitate registration operations.
In addition, in order to avoid a large number of cancellations and cancellations after scalpers grab tickets, the reservation system has specially set up a precautionary function, once the registration is successful and the payment is completed, unless it is due to force majeure factors such as bad weather, other personal factors cancel the mountaineering, no refund will be given. At present, the system has opened reservations for climbing from July 1 to September 10 this year, so those who plan to climb Mt. Fuji should pay attention.
