Due to high risk of injury, fatality, and the need for emergency rescue, the International Affairs Desk at Fujiyoshida City Hall highly discourages off-season climbing. Official climbing season is July and August every year.

Please be aware of heavy and completely stopped traffic as well as little or no parking in the area. The International Affairs Desk recommends traveling by the Fujikyu Line (train) to Shimoyoshida Station, to avoid heavy automobile traffic.

International Entries have restarted as of July 2023. The Fuji Mountain Race occurs yearly on the last weekend of July. Entry is limited and occurs during a short window or one or two days, usually in the preceeding March. Check the official website for more information.

Although official climing season ends in August, the Fuji-Subaru Line (tollway), which runs up to the 5th station stays open as conditions permit, and buses may be available year round from Fujisan Station to the 5th station. After September, services at the Fuji Subaru Line 5th station are sparse, although some shops and restaurants may stay open through the Autumn Leaves season (early November). Mountain Huts above the 5th station are closed after early September every year.

The Japanese Waste Management System is quite strict and well-regulated. Fujiyoshida also has a Beautification Center.
