The Yamanashi Prefectural Assembly has passed an ordinance to impose a ¥2,000 ($13) entry fee on climbers of Mount Fuji starting from July. This measure, aimed at managing the number of hikers and maintaining the trails, marks the first time a mandatory fee is introduced for ascending the iconic mountain from July. The fee applies specifically to those climbing from the Yamanashi side, one of the main routes to the summit. Additionally, the new regulation aims to discourage 'bullet climbing.' The decision comes in response to the increasing foot traffic and the environmental impact associated with the popular climbing destination.
