Protecting Mt. Fuji climbers from rockfall disasters

After the rockfall accident occurred at the 5th station of Mt. Fuji Fujinomiyaguchi in July 2009, Geo Rock Wall was adopted as a countermeasure to avoid the accident in terms of workability, maintenance, landscape, and economy. In addition, on the front side surface, the Bio film * hard type made by NatuRock Japan Co., Ltd. was installed. (* Biofilm is a registered trademark of NatuRock Japan Co., Ltd.)
