Heritage listing will likely generate renewed interest in climbing and the country hopes that providing information via the website before the climbing season opens in July will help reduce accidents and injuries among trekkers and climbers.
The website about the 3,776-meter-high mountain, which straddles Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, will be launched by an environment ministry-led association.
The association is also planning an English-language version in anticipation of an increase in interest from foreign tourists.
A survey of climbers conducted by the Shizuoka prefectural government has found that 51 percent said they obtained information from the Internet.
The new site will include information on clothing, headlamps and other gear as well as on measures to prevent altitude sickness.
It will also provide a map of four climbing routes listing mountain cabins, aid stations and toilet facilities.
For smartphone users, the site will offer live video feeds of the climbing routes as well as of weather at the summit and raincloud movements. Twitter will also be used to provide information on cabins and routes.
A Shizuoka prefectural government official expressed hope that visitors to Mt. Fuji will "enjoy safe and pleasant climbing with accurate knowledge.
"UNESCO is holding a meeting from June 17 to 27 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to deliberate on new World Heritage Site registrations. Mt. Fuji is among the sites under consideration. An increasing number of people have been involved in accidents on Mt. Fuji in recent years," he said.
Last year, 76 went missing of whom 11 died. Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures are considering introducing admission fees for trekkers and climbers to fund environmental conservation and other measures.
