Mount Fuji, Japan

Often capped with snow, Mount Fuji's gently sloping volcano is Japan's definition of perfection. Revered by locals and considered a top place to visit in Japan, the 12,388-foot summit is open to hikers in certain seasons. Most visitors opt for a sighting, either from Tokyo's sky-high observation decks or a passing bullet train heading to Osaka. Or, consider a visit to Hakone, a town with natural hot springs where you can savor the view – best in early morning or late afternoon, between November and May. #themeparks#nationalpark
