The climbing season for Mt.Fuji is beginning from 1st July. I am introducing two good news related to Mt.Fuji. On the same day as the start of the season, Fujikyu Railway starts to sell Mt.Fuji Pass. With the reasonable pass, you can use transportation and admit sightseeing spots like Fuji-Q Highland around the Mt.Fuji area all you want.

And to solve one of the most troubling problems for foreign tourists, a currency exchange machine has been just set in the mountain. It is getting more convenient to travel the highest mountain in Japan.
