SHIZUOKA — The number of people climbing Mt. Fuji via the Gotemba Trail, on the mountain’s Shizuoka Prefecture side, dropped more than 30% year-on-year as of the end of August, according to sources. This change comes in the wake of the implementation this summer of new rules on entering the mountain.
