Climbing Mt. Fuji in 2024: Permits, Trail Fees and Hut Reservations

Mount Fuji is introducing new rules from the 2024 climbing season onwards, including trail fees and daily caps on climbers. The measures, which come into effect on July 1, aim to protect both hikers and the environment, in the face of “overtourism”. Here’s what you need to know.

Yoshida huts at station 8+ almost full in 1hr after open reservation online(early May). Be Quick!

I’m not going to lie. I was at mt Fuji 2 days ago and I can confidently say that mt Fuji is not a hard mountain to climb. Although I can say that if you plan on going take goggles ( I went on a day where there was a storm on the peak which caused winds of over 80kmph , therefore the little sands and rocks get into your eyes ( even if you have glasses ))

Is it could around 16:00 at the top?

[@88Somi]

Another reason for not travel to Japan. First price hike for JR Pass then higher prices of dishes in restaurants for tourists and now this.

[@TheCosmopolitanHefty]

I don't like nonveg and seafood so Japanese food is not for me but yes it's costly.

[@zzzzx3]

I agree with the JR Pass price hike, but these rules are to curb overcrowding from tourism… hopefully this will help preserve the mountain’s landscape overall. There are plenty of other reasons to visit Japan tbh. Most people don’t even consider climbing Mt. Fuji

[@88Somi]

@@TheCosmopolitanHefty ok but what about fact that some restaurants are charging tourist more for the same dish what Japanese people order ?

[@jollygreen4662]

​@@88SomiThat's a bias against non Japan
