Mount Fuji in Tokyo has always

Mount Fuji in Tokyo has always been a must-visit hotspot for tourists. This time I chose the fifth station around Narusawa Village to experience the magnificent posture of Japan's highest mountain. Whether the golden trees in autumn, the refreshing blue sky during the day, are sure to impress you! Here you can see the sea of ​​clouds surrounding Mount Fuji, with the reflection of Lake Yamanaka, and enjoy the natural scenery in a relaxed way.

Recommended tour routes:
Stop 1: Drive or bus straight up to the 5th Station of Mount Fuji (address: 8545-1 401-0320, Kashimura, Minamitsuru, Yamaashi), which is open year-round. The fifth goal indicates the official entry into the Mount Fuji climbing area, even if you do not intend to climb to the top, just taking pictures at the observation deck is already spectacular!
Stop 2: Walking out of the observation deck, it is recommended to walk a short easy walk along the hiking trail, through the forest, admiring the uniquely shaped trees and autumn colors up close.
Stop 3: Go further down and you can reach Lake Yamanaka. The reflection of the snow-top of Mount Fuji is photographed by the lake. The whole screen is super beautiful. It’s healing to see the lake and blue sky when the weather is nice.

Must-play check-in spots:
- The fifth station stone monument and the big torii gate, be sure to take a photo to prove you have been!
- The observation deck overlooks the sea of ​​clouds and the town at the foot of the mountain.
- Lake Yamanaka lakeside location, photographed down to have the lake water mapping Mount Fuji.
- If autumn comes, the fifth station forest and under the red leaf trees to take pictures very Japanese feel.

Attraction Tips:
1. It is recommended to arrive early in the morning, the weather will be clearer, the probability of seeing the full view of Mount Fuji is greater.
2. The fifth station is quite cold all year round, remember to bring a jacket while being aware of weather changes.
3. Weekdays less crowd, photography does not have to wait too long, want to experience the quiet atmosphere more recommended weekday departure.
4. Due to the high terrain, there is a chance of slight altitude sickness.
5. There is a canteen at the fifth station where you can buy souvenirs or taste Mount Fuji-exclusive snacks.

Notes:
- Convenient transportation but many bends in mountain roads, easy to get dizzy while riding in a car Please prepare medication.
- Keep the environment clean and do not throw garbage.
- There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in autumn and winter. Be sure to keep warm.
- Wear hiking shoes when hiking/hiking to avoid slipping.

Event Recommendations:
For those who want to experience it in depth, you can join the Mount Fuji hiking tour and try to walk a couple of sections of the climbing route ahead. If you just want to live slowly, sitting by the lake in the mountains quietly enjoying Mount Fuji + lake view is super chill.

The 5th station of Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka are truly unforgettable. Whether you take pictures, relax or love hiking, you will fall in love with the unique charm of Mt.
