Unusual popularity and Fuji mountain climbing

The mountaineer who aimed at the Mt. Fuji top from the Yamanashi side in [ of 7 or August, this year / mountains-in-summer ] two months amounted to 247,000 persons. Although a factor has more than one, if it reaches this much in ひ and summer, a surprising person will also come out. On the other hand, while the movement toward world's cultural heritage registration accelerated, the talk of "being a charged system about mountain climbing" also came out in the protection of nature. "2008 Summer and Mt. Fuji" were summarized. (牧井 Masaaki)
In the record in Showa 56 and afterwards, 200,277 for 62 years were the highest. Record is broken at a stretch this summer. although regulation of private cars of the toll road which leads to the fifth stage is carried out for two weeks in mid-August every year in order to protect animals and plants from an exhaust gas -- regulation -- never mind. It could pass through the bus and 3000-8000 mountaineers acted as Iriyama a weekday also this year. "If hot, it is said that mountaineers will increase in number", but it is not likely to be only heat.
What "the weather of the mountain was [ the thing ] stable this summer" is mentioned to the 1st reason in case of analysis of the Fuji Yoshida Mt. Fuji division of foot. Although six typhoons have developed on Japanese Nankai during a season, one piece is not approaching Mt. Fuji, either. The 2nd is "movement toward world's cultural heritage registration of Mt. Fuji." This raised the degree of attention. ""Cheap, short, and nearby" Fuji mountain climbing was chosen by the gasoline jump" is large. Mountains-in-summer mountain climbing is recommended to the baby boomers who retired in a mountain-climbing article store in the city of Tokyo. Naturally, a target is Mt. Fuji.
On the other hand, regulation of private cars is also referred to as having had good influence. The travel company etc. mentioned what "mountain climbing as the part where a privately-owned car does not go into a toll road, and which does not have traffic congestion, and a schedule can also carry out." In a hut, an accommodation capacity is strictly observed for comfortable stay from this summer "to sell." Such a factor serves as a backdrop that the mountaineer increased rapidly. This boom and next year or subsequent ones are likely to continue.

When a person like this climbs Mt. Fuji, it is variously. Four parents and children have jumped into the first-aid station of the eighth stage around 11:00 p.m. in mid-August. The schoolchild was trembling with the side of the father "a son's condition is bad" by one T-shirt. Although it is mountains in summer, temperature is 10 or less degrees in the eighth stage [ about ] of night. When the staff inquires it as "spare clothing" and "reservation of a hut", there "there is neither spare clothing nor reservation." The child has fallen victim to a father without the knowledge of Mt. Fuji. Then, a father is "putting it to sleep here (first-aid station)." I am amazed at irresponsibility.
There was also a trouble of a toilet. Although all changed to the water-purifying circle method or the biotoilet by last year in the hut of Mt. Fuji, fault occurs in a certain hut. Treated water was not purified but it became a situation where it had to drain. That what is necessary is just to carry out a maintenance once in two months, since ず exceeded throughput by the increase of a user, treated water was exchanged no less than 3 times in this hut.
There is also a relieved talk. On August 7, the male in his 50's of Saitama Prefecture broke down from the rocks between the 7-eighth stage. A male is a cardiopulmonary arrest temporarily. The hut was equipped with AED (automatic external defibrillator) although carried to the first-aid station of the eighth stage. Receiving the doctor's disposal using AED, the male regained consciousness.

It is overwhelmed by the mountaineer of "being at the summit of the mountain about ご来光" directly under [ in front of dawn / summit-of-the-mountain ] in case of the season that a mountaineer exceeds 200,000 people. From a mountain trail, it shifts, and in order to reach, a surface of a mountain is damaged. There is also a garbage problem. With a lignosa belt, an alpine plant steps on and is damaged. In the Yamanashi side, the capacities of 16 huts of the 5-eighth stage total about 3300 persons per day. Many days reach 10,000 or more people, and those who cannot stay at a hut also come out of them.
On the 2nd of this month, Mayor Shigeru Horiuchi of Fuji Yoshida-shi showed the idea which asks a mountaineer for the source of revenue which protects Mt. Fuji to the question from a journalist in order that "The charge of Iriyama may be required in the future." It had proposed collection of the charge of Iriyama by someone" that a mountaineer, Mr. Ken Noguchi, soils work "Mt. Fuji. "If the charge of Iriyama enters, the source of revenue of protection management will be allotted. It thinks in long Sepang and afforestation, maintenance of a promenade, investigation of vegetation, etc. can be tackled completely and specially. If I get those who go to the fifth stage temporarily to pay 100 yen per person, it will be 200 million to a year at 2 million people. It is 500 yen and is 1 billion. The collected expense explained, "It could spend on protection of Mt. Fuji."
If the charge of Iriyama is taken, you have to strive for safe reservation of the Iriyama person more than former. When becoming, how to restrict Iriyama had to be considered, but the Watanabe 凱保 mayor of Fuji Kawaguchiko-cho said, ""The Iriyama regulation" is required when human damage is in sight", and indicated human environmental destruction of Mt. Fuji that a radical measure was demanded.
Mt. Fuji is a Japanese precious article. There was an economical benefit, and when maintaining Mt. Fuji and reciprocity, it arrived at the situation where the charge of Iriyama and the Iriyama regulation are considered, at last. It seems that "autumn Fuji" to which silence returned has felt relieved.
