Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji is renowned not only as a symbol of Japan but also as a favorite among climbers and sightseers. The best views of Fuji are often said to be from the northern shores of nearby Lake Kawaguchi.

Climbing season typically runs from early July to early September, when the weather is milder and the mountain huts are open for climbers.

Fuji Five Lakes

The Fuji Five Lakes are a group of lakes formed by previous eruptions of Mount Fuji (yes, it’s an active volcano!) and are named Kawaguchi, Sai, Yamanaka, Shoji, and Motosu. They are celebrated for their distinct views of Mount Fuji and are a communal hotspot for leisure activities like camping, fishing, and boating. Each lake has its own charm and seasonal attractions, such as the vibrant autumn leaves at Lake Kawaguchi or the serene reflections on Lake Motosu, making them popular year-round destinations for both outdoor enthusiasts and scenic relaxation seekers.

Chureito Pagoda

Chureito Pagoda is a five-story pagoda set against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, offering one of Japan’s most iconic scenes. In fact, it’s so iconic that you’ve probably seen it before on a postcard. Located in Arakurayama Sengen Park, it becomes particularly picturesque during the cherry blossom season in spring and when the autumn leaves peak. The climb to the pagoda involves a steep staircase rewarding visitors with panoramic views that are unmatched anywhere else.

Oshino Hakkai

Oshino Hakkai is a set of eight picturesque ponds in the village of Oshino, part of the Fuji Five Lakes area. These ponds are fed by snowmelt from Mount Fuji that filters through porous layers of rock, creating incredibly clear waters. Oshino Hakkai is not only a natural wonder but also a cultural site, with traditional thatched-roof houses and watermills adding to the scenic beauty. It’s a popular spot for experiencing the tranquil and pristine side of the Mount Fuji area.
