Japanese authorities are introducing a new online booking system for people who want to hike Mount Fuji’s most popular trail. Visitors will be able to book their places online from May 20 and make an advance payment of the mandatory ¥2,000 ($13) climbing fee ahead of their ascent. This measure is part of broader efforts to combat overtourism, littering, and unsafe behavior on the mountain. Additionally, a Japanese town near Mount Fuji has begun erecting a large mesh barrier at a popular viewing spot to deter photo-taking by tourists. The town's residents are frustrated with the unending streams of visitors littering, trespassing, and breaking traffic rules. Climbing limits are also being set on Mount Fuji to manage the crowds and preserve the site.
