Opening of the summit rim trail (Ohachimeguri Trail)
The Mount Fuji Summit Circumference Trail "Ohachi-meguri Trail", which circles the summit of Mount Fuji, have opened on July 10 as originally scheduled.(*1)
At the time of the survey on July 2nd, there was still a lot of snow remaining near Kengamine, so an announcement was made that some sections of the road would be closed. However, an investigation on July 9th confirmed that the snow on the summit had melted and there was no disruption to traffic on the footpaths.
*1: July 10th, 4:40 AM: The summit circular trail (Ohachi Meguri) is now fully open. However, there are often strong winds near the summit, and thick fog can occur. Even if restrictions are lifted, it may still be dangerous depending on the weather. Please carefully assess the weather conditions before proceeding.
