Manner guide
Do not leave our rubbish; we will take it home with us.
Even a little rubbish can detract from the beautiful Mount Fuji. And cleaning it up is a dangerous task due to hard conditions in the poor atmosphere. We will take our rubbish home.
- Do not bring things with us that we might later want to throw away.
Climbing to the top is not easy even though it looks so close. We should bring as few belongings as possible to facilitate the climb.
- Do not deviate from the trails.
Besides damaging Mount Fuji’s unique vegetation, deviating from the trails can be dangerous because the ground outside designated trails is liable to crumble and cause rock falls.
- We won't write any graffiti.
Any graffiti will ruin the beauty of the mountain.
- Do not destroy the special geographical features of lava trees etc.
The lava trees etc. are ancient traces teaching us the history of Mount Fuji. We learn a lot from them and so should treat them well.
- Refrain from idling your car engine.
Idling car engines can pollute the pure mountain air and have a detrimental effect on Mount Fuji’s ecosystem. Help keep Mount Fuji beautiful by avoiding unnecessary idling.
- A tipping or user fee system is in effect at restrooms.
It costs a lot to maintain environment-friendly toilets in a special environment like Mount Fuji. Please leave a tip each time you use toilets.
- Do not bring animals onto Mount Fuji.
Animals can damage the native flora and fauna, and they may annoy other climbers. To protect Mount Fuji’s natural environment and wildlife, do not bring pets or other animals with you.
- Do not collect flora and fauna specimens.
The animals and plants are living under the extreme conditions of Mount Fuji. As they are our fellow companions in nature, we should treat with care.
