## Mount Fuji: The totem of the Japanese soul, the priceless shock that must be seen in this life! **Definitely worth it! **It is far more than a mountain, but also a living totem that carries Japan's millennium faith and aesthetics**. Whether looking out over its sacred outline or challenging the summit, it is a great way to feel the Japanese spirit deeply. **Core highlights hit the soul:*** **The fast-changing scene:** The four seasons rotate to give it a very different face - spring cherry for skirt, summer green, autumn red leaves, winter snow crown. Under the clear sky, the momentum is magnificent, and the clouds are looming. **Each eye is a unique scenery postcard**. * ** Classic perspective punch card: ** * ** Kawaguchiko reflection: ** The lake is like a mirror, reflecting the perfect "reverse Fuji", especially when there is no wind in the morning, it is a photography paradise. * **Shincangshan Asakusa Park: **The five-tower is framed with Mount Fuji, interpreting the most classic Japanese aesthetic. * **Goden Field Outlet: **Shopping while enjoying the huge mountain nearby, a wonderful experience. * **Top Challenge (7-9 Moon): **Conquering 3,776 meters on foot, meeting the "Yulai Light" (Sunrise) in the crater, and feeling the ultimate experience of conquest and sacred fusion (need to be fully prepared). * **Cultural Immersion: ** Hawthorn Shrine, Ninno Bahai Lingquan, and Fuji Theme Art Museum ... Infiltrate their awe and worship everywhere. **Tips: *** **Weather determines everything! ** Be sure to check the visibility forecast before traveling, and it may be completely "invisible" on rainy days. * Recommended for a distant view**Kawaguchiko/Mountain Lake area**, convenient transportation and diverse perspectives. * Climbing requires professional equipment, make an appointment in advance for mountain houses, and do your best. **Summary: ** The beauty of Mount Fuji transcends the vision, which is the resonance of nature and culture. Its sacred sense and magnificent beauty, no matter how close you look, it will become a scenery engraved into memory. If the heavens are beautiful, be sure to include it in the itinerary - not only to see a mountain, but also to touch the window of the Japanese soul. 🗻✨
Mt Fuji is always magnifient. When taking the train from Osaka to Japan, you might have a huge chance to see it - in both local train and bullet train. Aside from Tokyo Side, the Shizuoka side is also good. Always a marvel to see. I would advice the Shizuoka side for less people.

another beautiful scenery, just walking around with family and friends already taken many many photos there with the mountain
"Big Rock Park"
The best flower viewing period is from late April to early October. From November to mid-April, there is no flowering due to the cold weather, but you can see the snow-covered Mount Fuji!
With different scenery throughout the year, Mount Fuji is a paradise for photographers!

this art museum is full of wonders , you can enjoy the breathtaking scene of the mount fuji and a lake walk afterwards for the tour
It's a place you can spend half a day in. The art gallery is beautifully built, and there are special performances such as musical fountains, sand paintings, and automatic musical instruments. There is also a beautiful Western restaurant where you can have a leisurely meal and see Mount Fuji.

Short and beautiful ride. Nice lake a view. Must ride. crew will tell you where is Mt Fuji.
Kawaguchiko is the favorite place for Mount Fuji lovers! View Mount Fuji from afar, take a cruise to see Mount Fuji with snow, clouds, or bare!
Every winter is the hot spring season, so you need to book a B&B or hotel early!

#Go to the exhibition I feel that this museum should be visited before going up the mountain, so that you may feel more when you go up the mountain.
We came to see it after going down the mountain, but it was also very shocking.
The entire museum is divided into two halls, north and south, each with two floors. First go to the north hall to watch a movie, and you can choose Chinese dubbing. You will learn that Mount Fuji looks like a volcano, but it is actually formed by several volcanoes erupting one after another and covering each other.
In the corridor on the second floor of the south hall, you can see a large tent that looks like a model of Mount Fuji, which is colorful and very beautiful.
There are also cafes, souvenir shops, etc. in the museum, and the outdoor environment is also beautiful.
I really recommend coming here~~ This is the most unforgettable place in my trip to Japan. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Fujinomiya, which is not far. The scenery is really beautiful. The shallow pool at the entrance is like a mirror, which can perfectly present the reflection of Mount Fuji, and it just complements the building. The ticket is 300 yuan, and all the displays inside have Chinese introductions, and they are very fluent Chinese. Here you can feel that Mount Fuji belongs to the "world" and not just Japan.

Room with lake view, private bath, food fantastic. Footh bath with Mt 🗻. Majestic Mt 🗻.Service Excellent.
After a year of hard work, we should give ourselves a good reward during the Spring Festival. We chose Hekou Lake near Tokyo to celebrate the Spring Festival. Here is mainly a Japanese hotel, Huxinting, which is highly praised on the internet. After we stayed here, we had a good dip in Japanese hot springs and then enjoyed a delicate Japanese dinner. When I got up the next morning, as soon as I opened the curtain, I saw a complete landscape painting outside the window. The whole Fuji Mountain was completely presented in front of me, and the beauty was beyond words.
