How a foreign visitor actually books it
The entrance ticket is around ¥160 in peak season (about ¥140 in the off-season), real-name with your passport, bought at the scenic-area gate. It covers entry to the mountain and the temple-village; the cable cars and some individual sites are separate.
What else to know
We link no official booking page here — entry is real-name at the gate and I won't render a booking button I can't confirm completes for an overseas visitor. Budget the entry as the base layer, then add whichever cable cars you ride. Confirm the season's price at the gate — peak/off-season rates shift around the ¥140–160 range.
If the official channel does not work
Do not assume an unrecorded booking route is available. Recheck the operator’s current instructions; where the interface itself is the obstacle, the practical mechanics are in buying tickets the official way and booking without WeChat.
