Hikers wanting to climb Japan's Mount Fuji will have to pay 12 euros from July. Number of tourists using the trail will also be limited to 4,000.

Access prohibited between 4 p.m. and 2 a.m., local official says. More than 220,000 visitors each climbing season to Japan's highest mountain, which is capped with a crown of snow most of the year, from July to September. The Yoshida trail, relatively easy to access from Tokyo, is preferred by around 60% of hikers.
