Mt. Fuji is one of the most iconic symbols of Japan. Standing at 3,776 metres tall, the mountain is located in the Kawaguchiko area. There’s plenty to do here too — go up to the 5th station, go hiking, take the Kachi Kachi ropeway, sail on a sightseeing lake cruise, visit Oshino Hakkai, shop till you drop at Gotemba Shopping Outlets, scream your hearts out at Fuji Q Highland, and more.
Get there via a direct 1-hour-45-minute bus from Shinjuku; in just over three hours via multiple trains (including the cute themed Fujisan Express); or on a sightseeing tour. Don’t rush the experience, however: just imagine waking up to a glorious view of Mt. Fuji itself! In fact, why not make your dreams a reality by booking a night (or a few!) at one of these stunning stays — that come with splendid Mt. Fuji views to boot?
