Mt Fuji climb registration includes e-learning course
The Shizuoka Prefectural Government recently launched a new registration system with e-learning course for those wishing to scale iconic Mt. Fuji.
It is aimed at improving climb safety and comfort while protecting and preserving the environment surrounding the mountain.
Visitors ascending via any of Shizuoka’s three routes up Mt. Fuji are now required to complete the new online registration form ahead of their hike.
The routes are Fujinomiya, Gotemba and Subashiri.
The registration includes an e-learning course on mountain safety and etiquette.
A QR code is received upon completion which must be presented at the mountain’s checkpoints. Registration is free, but climbers are encouraged to donate 1,000 JPY per person which goes towards the preservation of the mountain.
Also, three new Fuji hiking experiences have launched in Shizuoka.
The new experiences from local tour company FUJI SUNRISE include the five-hour Fuji Sunrise Hike Private Tour which begins in Shizuoka’s Mizugatsuka area at an altitude of 1400m.
The East Fuji Nature Hike Private Tour, available year-round, is also five hours long and explores the nature and landscapes of Mt. Fuij’s eastern foothills.
For adventurous hikers, the new Mt. Fuji 2-Day Climb Private Tour offers an overnight experience which culminates in reaching the top of Mt.Fuji at sunrise on day two. The tour takes the Fujinomiya Route up the mountain, which is the shortest of the four existing routes to ascend and is available during the official climbing season from July to September.
All the tours offer an English-speaking guide.
