It is expected to take a few days until a corrected version of the app can be released. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your patience.

・ If you wish to change other items, such as the number of people or the climbing route, cancel the purchased climbing permit once and perform pre-registration again.
・ Changes/cancellations of scheduled plans can be made by selecting the schedule you wish to change from the "Purchased Ticket List" on the pre-registration page. Access the "Purchased Ticket List" from here.
・ No fees will be charged for changes or cancellations to the schedule.

Changes/Cancellation of Pre-registration After the Planned Climbing Date

Climbing permits cannot be changed/cancelled for personal reasons after the valid period has passed (by 23:59 on the climbing day).

If Climbing Was Not Possible Due to Unavoidable Reasons Such as Disasters

In unavoidable cases such as disasters or when the Fuji Skyline or Azami Line is closed, refunds will be processed by the prefecture of Shizuoka only if the ticket was unused (not authenticated at the trail entrance).
