Japan to Charge Helicopter Rescue Fees for Off-Season Mount Fuji Climbers

Yamanashi Prefecture announced it will charge helicopter rescue fees for climbers attempting Mount Fuji outside the official season, effective after the 2027 season, to deter reckless climbs amid rising rescues. The policy also requires advance submission of climbing plans. This marks a shift in local governance to manage tourism and safety risks, though implementation is years away.
