As of this summer, Japan will introduce new visitor restrictions at Mount Fuji as it aims to protect the site from overtourism.
Littering and hiker safety has increasingly become a concern as visitor numbers rise. This means that travellers will have to pay a fee to hike the routes along the famous mountain, and a daily visitor cap will also be introduced.
Hikers will be capped at 4,000 a day and will also be prohibited from beginning their ascent between 4pm and 2am. The fee amount has not yet been confirmed, but plans include installing a gate at the entrance of the highly popular Yoshida trail, where a toll will be collected.
