Japan has introduced sweeping new measures for Mount Fuji’s 2025 climbing season, including a uniform entrance fee of ¥4,000 (around £20) for all four of its main trails.
The move, which begins in phases from Tuesday, marks the first time that all routes – Yoshida in Yamanashi prefecture and Fujinomiya, Subashiri, and Gotemba in neighbouring Shizuoka – will charge the same fee.
