Fuji will be in shambles… If things continue as they are, there will be more accidents and Mt. Fuji climbing guide warns

This year, the number of climbers is expected to be the highest in history…and there is even an “unscrupulous” cheap tour where a single person guides 40 climbers.

It has been about a month and a half since the opening of Mt. Fuji opened to the public, it was reported that men and women of all ages and genders were climbing the mountain with great joy.

Fuji is in a mess. If things continue as they are, it would be no surprise if a major accident were to occur at any time.

Mr. A, who has been guiding climbers up Mt. With the Corona under control, the number of climbers has exploded this year, and as of early August, the number of climbers was close to 100,000.

The mountain lodges are packed even on weekdays. The problem of “bullet climbs,” in which climbers walk down the mountain for two days and zero nights without staying at a lodge, has become an issue, but it seems that this is due in part to the fact that climbers cannot stay at lodges.

In the past, not so many people climbed the mountain. However, the number of climbers has been increasing visibly since the mountain was registered as a World Heritage site.

Fuji was registered as a World Heritage site in 2001. Fuji was registered as a World Heritage site in 2001. Indeed, the number of climbers, which had been around 200,000 until then, began to exceed 300,000 around 2010,

This year will probably see the highest number of climbers in history.

Fuji’s popularity has led to many tours being organized.

Some of the tours have their own problems. In many foreign climbing tours, the number of people a guide is in charge of is set, but in Japan there is no such rule. In Japan, however, there is no such rule. However, some tours that claim to be “inexpensive” have one guide in charge of 40 people. This makes it difficult to believe that they can properly respond to any problems that may arise.

In one case, a tour guide returned a guest who was unable to walk to the top of the mountain from the ninth station alone.

Ninety-nine percent of mountain accidents happen on the way down. I can’t believe they would do such a thing.

Mr. A’s anger is unrelenting.

Fuji, most climbers start at the fifth station, which is closed to private cars in July and August, so they take permitted buses and other vehicles, some of which are not licensed as tour operators, he said. Some tour operators are not authorized to offer such tours, and even though they are trying to make the climb safely, the tour may end up being dangerous.

If a tour operator is authorized, it must have a registration number, such as ‘ Registered Travel Agency No. ○○○○. ‘ Tours and buses without this number are not authorized to operate. It is important not to use tours or buses that do not have this number, and to confirm the number of people on the tour before applying.
