Battling overtourism and littering, Mount Fuji will now double its tourist tax. Here's what travelers should know.
Located in Tanzania, Africa’s tallest mountain sits on the Kenyan border in East Africa, some 200 miles south of the Equator.
The new 4,000 yen fee (USD $27) is double the amount of the original "tourist tax" that was instituted in 2024.
Travelers wishing to hike the iconic Mount Fuji will have to pay double the toll as Japan cites pollution and safety concerns.
