Yamanashi installs a barricade without climbing Mt. Fuji June 24, 5:18
For Mt. Fuji, where all trails are closed during the summer season this year, Yamanashi Prefecture is taking measures to prevent climbing, such as installing a new barricade on the trail.
Mt. Fuji will be closed during the summer season this summer, and all mountain huts and first-aid stations will be closed, and Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures have no evacuation shelters in case of bad weather, and are immediately injured We decided to close the mountain trail leading to the summit because we could not respond to.
However, there is a possibility that some people come to the mountain without knowing the closure or climbers aiming for the summit while knowing the closure, and Yamanashi Prefecture is taking measures.
Of these, a double barricade was newly installed this month on a prefectural road that follows the "Yoshidaguchi Trail" in Fujiyoshida City, and an alarm device that sounds a warning sound when the first barricade is exceeded is introduced.
In addition, surveillance cameras have been introduced, and staff constantly check the monitors to see if the barricade has been opened or destroyed.
In addition, this month, the prefecture also created a poster to inform that it is not possible to climb Mt. Fuji, and distributed it to the facilities for attracting customers in the prefecture. Of these, we also asked the outdoor shop in Kofu for cooperation.
Depending on the store, there are many customers who do not know that they cannot climb Mt. Fuji this summer, so we will post a poster inside the store to inform them.
"We would like to ask you to never climb Mt. Fuji this summer. We would like to widely publicize it on our website etc. in cooperation with Shizuoka Prefecture," said Hiroyuki Saegusa, a mountain safety measure supervisor at the Yamanashi Prefecture World Heritage Fujisan Section.
