🔥The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Mount Fuji from April to July! 9 Must-See Spots in One Post! Save This Now! 🌄 TOP 9 Must-See Spots at Mount Fuji! Listed in no particular order, but we've rated them for potential disappointment! Tourist Attractions: 1️⃣ Lake Yamanaka ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Keywords: Swan Lake + Ethereal Beauty Fewer crowds than Lake Kawaguchiko! Swans often grace the lake's surface, and the morning mist creates a fairy-tale atmosphere. Swan boats are available for rent nearby. Light-colored dresses are recommended for photos! 2️⃣ Lake Kawaguchiko ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Keywords: Stunning Reflections + Cycling Paradise The most iconic lake at the foot of Mount Fuji! On a clear day, the lake reflects Mount Fuji like a mirror, it's breathtaking! We recommend renting a bicycle and cycling around the lake, taking photos as you go. (⚠Don't go on a cloudy day, you won't see anything!) 3⃣ Lawson Convenience Store (Kawaguchiko Station Branch) ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Keywords: Insta-Famous Spot + Instant Photo Ops The classic convenience store with Mount Fuji in the background! But ⚠it's incredibly crowded! We recommend going at 7am, otherwise you'll have to queue for half an hour... (The Lawson next door actually has a pretty good angle too, and fewer people!) 4⃣ Oshino Hakkai ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Keywords: Clear Springs + Little Kyoto Vibes Eight ponds formed by Mount Fuji's snowmelt, the water is so clear you can see the bottom! However, it's very commercialized, and the souvenirs are expensive and not particularly special. Take a few photos and move on. 5⃣ Sky Ladder Town (Hitokawa Clock Store) ⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Keywords: Mount Fuji at the End of the Street A super popular spot on Instagram! In reality, it's an ordinary small road. For photos, wait for fewer cars and use a telephoto lens, otherwise the effect will be diminished... (⚠Be careful, don't stand in the middle of the road!) 6⃣ Dream Bridge ⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Keywords: Stairway to the Sea of Clouds From afar, it looks like a ladder leading to Mount Fuji, but it's quite far from the mountain. Suitable for wide-angle lenses. Don't go on a cloudy day! 7⃣ Golden Torii Gate (Asama Shrine) ⭐⭐⭐ 📌 Keywords: Hiking Starting Point + Vermilion Torii Gate The entrance to Mount Fuji's 5th station, suitable for those who want to climb the mountain! If you're not climbing, the viewing platform at Asama Shrine offers better photo opportunities. 8⃣ Sky Torii Gate (Arakura Sengen Shrine) ⭐⭐ 📌 Keywords: Panoramic View of Mount Fuji + Stair Climbing Warning Be prepared to climb 398 steps! But the torii gate at the top + cherry blossom season/autumn foliage season is stunning. Go for it if you're up for the challenge! 9⃣ Mount Fuji McDonald's ⭐⭐ 📌 Keywords: Limited Edition Packaging + Controversial Check-in Spot Only certain branches have Mount Fuji packaging, and the food tastes the same as any other McDonald's... You can take a photo if you're passing by, but there's no need to go there specifically. 【Transportation🚃】 1⃣JR Line Take the Fuji Excursion train from Shinjuku Station directly to Kawaguchiko Station, no transfers required, approximately two hours.
