Description
Japan is set to introduce new measures in a bid to tackle overtourism on Mount Fuji from July 1, with an online booking system to cap daily entries to 4,000 people, a $13 fee and a checkpoint gate to ease congestion on the most popular Yoshida Trail among hikers.
Kotaro Nagasaki, governor of Japan's Yamanashi prefecture where Mount Fuji's Yoshida Trail is located, demonstrates the new crowd-control system for climbers ahead of the summer climbing season.
