—Collaborating with Shizuoka and Yamanashi
prefectures—
NTT DOCOMO, INC. (TOKYO:9437) (NYSE:DCM), the Japanese mobile
operator that provides each customer with innovative, convenient
and secure mobile services, announced today the launch of a free
Wi-Fi® service in collaboration with Shizuoka and Yamanashi
prefectures to encourage overseas climbers to make use of DOCOMO’s
Wi-Fi network on the slopes of iconic Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest
mountain and one of UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage Sites. The
service will begin at selected hotspots on July 10.
The joint initiative is aimed at attracting more overseas
visitors to Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, home to Mount Fuji,
one of Japan’s most popular destinations, during the summer
climbing season.
The free Wi-Fi service will be available at eight hotspots,
including several trailheads that can be reached by vehicles, as
well as the 3,776-meter summit.
Shizuoka will distribute about 20,000 multilingual
fliers—English, traditional and simplified Chinese, and Korean—and
Yamanashi about 50,000 English fliers. Distribution sites will
include trailheads on the mountain itself, such as the popular
fifth station. The fliers will contain information on how to access
the service, as well as tips on climbing the mountain safely.
Users will simply select the “Welcome_to_Fujisan_Summit” SSID on
their Wi-Fi screen and enter the user ID and password specified on
the flier. Connectivity will last for 72 hours from initial
logon.
The service periods will differ by location: July 10 to
September 10 at three major trailheads in Shizuoka, July 10 to
September 14 at the Yoshida trailhead at the fifth station in
Yamanashi and July 10 to September 10 (subject to change) at the
summit.
According to Japan’s Ministry of the Environment, more than
285,000 people climbed Mount Fuji during the climbing season last
summer.
Going forward, DOCOMO will continue working to enhance overseas
visitors’ experiences with DOCOMO’s reliable Wi-Fi environment in
Japan toward 2020.
