Highest mountain in Japan

Mt. Fuji, Japan

Mount Fuji (富士山, Fujisan) is with 3776 meters Japan's highest mountain.

Mount Fuji is an active volcano, which most recently erupted in 1708. It stands on the border betweenYamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures and can be seen from Tokyo and Yokohama on clear days.

If you want to enjoy Mount Fuji at a more leisurely pace and from a nice natural surrounding, you should head to the Fuji Five Lake (Fujigoko) region at the northern foot of the mountain, or to Hakone, a nearby hot spring resort. 

Romance car to Hakone

From hakone station, we had to use another train going up the hill to take a ride on Hakone cable car

Hakone cable car. Supposedly you can see Mt. Fuji on the ride, but it was so cloudy we couldn't see it. The smell of sulfur is very distinct here.

After the cable car ride, we were off to ride cruise ship along the Hakone Lake.

A nice, cozy, and cheap room at K's Guesthouse in Fuji.

Convenient-store-dinner style. White rice, sweet egg, seaweed, and kimchi. 

Using the bicycles provided by K's Guesthouse, we ride around  to get a view of Mt. Fuji 

Stopping by to just appreciate the beautiful view. Mt. Fuji is said to be attractive because of its symmetrical shape.

Enjoying the view
