End of free climbing. You will have to pay PLN 100 on this mountain
This season, tourists interested in entering Mount Fudżi will definitely feel costs. Wandering along the trail will be associated with a special fee
One of the most important attractions of Japan has not been free for almost a year. On July 1, 2024, a compulsory reservation fee was introduced when planning an An Góra Fudżi trip. Tourists had to pay 2,000 yen for the possibility of entering the trail, i.e. the equivalent of about 50 zlotys. According to the website of the facility, this season the ticket cost will be up to 4,000 yen. Tourists must also be prepared for a limited time of using the attractions.
More expensive on the Fudżi Mountain
The climbing season on the Fudżi Mountain will start at the beginning of July and end at the beginning of September. During this time, tourists from around the world will be able to see the way to the top of the Holy Mountain of Japan, located about 100 kilometers from Tokyo. However, those interested in such experience will have to pay for their trip. As we read on the official website of the Fujisan-Climb.JP attractions, this year visitors must be prepared for a fee of four thousand yen, i.e. as much as PLN 100, which should be paid after exceeding the fifth trail station. The system with which it will be possible to make a reservation is to be available in April. In addition, visitors who do not intend to use an additional paid hostel will have limited time to enter the trail – from 14:00 to 3:00 at night. Many tourists go to the top to welcome the sunrise from it.
Excessive tourism in holy place
Higher prices and new regulations are to at least partially stop tourists from the excessive exploration of the holy place of the Japanese. One of the steps introduced last year was the establishment of a limit of visitors, which in one day cannot exceed 4,000 people. All because of the inadequately dressed and behaving foreign bones who disturbed the pilgrimages of the inhabitants. “Excessive tourism – and all its consequences, such as garbage, growing CO2 emissions and reckless tourists – this is the biggest problem that the Fudżi mountain faces” – believes Masatake Izumi, a government official of the prefecture Yamanashi.
