富士山提供免費Wi-Fi / Free Wi-Fi is coming to Mt. Fuji

富士山史上初! 全山小屋で利用可能な無料Wi-Fi
富士山上也能免費上網? 日本電信公司KDDI的AU最近宣布將在富士山上的山小屋、公共設施等49處設置無線基地台，提供免費上網的Wi-Fi服務。雖然目前富士山大部分的登山步道手機都能收到訊號，但有此項免費服務後，外國旅客無須使用額外網路流量、費用就可以上傳照片、影片。

Not so long ago, many would have thought of the idea of using the Internet while climbing Mt. Fuji to be absurd. You're on one of the most culturally significant, naturally beautiful sites in Japan, and you want to take time out to surf the Web? Internet access at a total of 49 locations on Japan's tallest mountain, including all of the mountain huts that provide temporary lodging for climbers.

日本大型電信公司KDDI底下主要負責手機通訊的品牌au在29日宣布，將在富士山所有的山小屋、公共設施等一共49個地方免費提供讓智慧型手機能夠上網的Wi-Fi服務，此外手機的通訊公司也不因此受限，皆可使用。日後大家可以更方便到富士山旅遊～

But the Internet is now an invaluable resource for travelers, hikers included. There's no more effective way to keep track of your location, check weather conditions, coordinate your trek with public transportation schedules, or keep in contact with the rest of your group of fellow outdoorsmen than with a smartphone or other mobile Internet-capable device, which is why this summer free Wi-Fi is coming to Mt. Fuji. Users can access the network by registering their email address or social network account. Alternatively, Wire & Wireless' free Travel Japan Wi-Fi app (for iOS and Android devices) will automatically connect your device to the Fuji-san Wi-Fi network (as the Mt. Fuji network is called) when it detects the signal. The network offers support in six languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, simplified Chinese, Korean, and Thai.
