A guest gets a free hotel voucher if Mount Fuji cannot be seen during the stay. That's an interesting promotion. (from Jan. 16 to Feb. 3 2012.)

It seems that we are to expect much fewer tourists from foreign countries this year, according to Emotion Journal.

"TOKYO - Japan’s quake-tsunami disaster and nuclear emergency have led to a record 62.5 percent plunge in foreign tourists, a government agency said Thursday.
There were an estimated 295,800 visitors from abroad in April, down from 788,000 in April 2010, a second straight decline following a 50.3-percent year-on-year drop in March, the Japan National Tourism Organization said."

Another M7 aftershock struck north-eastern Japan in the evening of April 11.
All tsunami warnings have already been lifted.
It temporarily disrupted the water injection to the Fukushima nuclear plant, but the function is now recovered.
More details can be found here.

Quoting a tweet by Japan Times:
Strong M7.4 quake, upper 6 on shindo scale, jolts Miyagi Pref.; tsunami alert issued

It's not affecting Mt. Fuji area so far.

tsunami warnings have been lifted.
As this earthquake was M7.4, which is so much weaker than the ladt one (M9), it didn't cause any tsunami damage.

Here's a movie created by assembling pictures taken at Mt. Fuji Live Camera (http://www.fujinomiya.com/). Great Work!

I found an article about a British man who's going to skate down Mount Fuji for charity. He will descend from the 5th station to the base of the mountain.

The English name for the new airport which will be open in spring 2009 has been decided to Shizuoka Airport. Although its Japanese nickname is "Mount Fuji Shizuoka Airport", the "Mount Fuji" part was not admitted as the official name by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).
The abbreviation will be FSZ, which came from "Fuji" and "Shizuoka".
