On June 22, 2013, when Mount Fuji was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it not only sparked a hiking boom in Japan but also drew significant attention from many travel enthusiasts in Taiwan who are fond of visiting Japan.

A speaker who has climbed Mount Fuji multiple times, Daiki, also specifically mentioned: “Since Mount Fuji was listed as a World Heritage Site, it has attracted many tourists from around the world, and there is a continuous line of people stretching from the base to the summit. I would also like to remind those who wish to climb Mount Fuji that, in addition to recommending prior physical training and preparing proper mountaineering gear, they should avoid attempting the risky ‘bullet climbing,’ which involves hiking through the night, in order to prevent accidents due to exhaustion and poor visibility. Additionally, to avoid the weekend crowds, it is advised to climb during weekdays and to avoid the Obon period, as excessively long queues may slow your progress.”
The official climbing season for Mount Fuji is from July to early September each year. If you also wish to set foot on Mount Fuji and witness the “Greeting of the Sunrise” emerging from the sea of clouds, please take advantage of the climbing season to experience the extraordinary inspiration this sacred mountain offers.
Shizuoka Prefecture will hold a Mount Fuji climbing lecture in Taipei on June 14. Travelers who are interested are welcome to join. Further details will be announced soon on the official Facebook fan page of Shizuoka Prefecture.
