MOUNT FUJI

Mount Fuji Guide - with maps, pictures, tours, history, origin of the name and information on climbing Mount Fuji.

Mount Fuji (富士山 Fuji-san, 3776 meters) is Japan's highest mountain. Visible from Tokyo on a clear day, the mountain is located to the west of Tokyo on the main island Honshu.

Understanding Mount Fuji

An almost perfectly symmetrical volcanic cone, the mountain is a near-mythical national symbol immortalized in countless works of art, including Hokusai's 36 Views of Mount Fuji. For merely seeing Mount Fuji, it's better to maintain some distance. The most popular place for sightseeing tours of Mount Fuji and surroundings is Hakone. Many of the best photographs are taken from Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park near or including one of the five lakes that surround Mount Fuji.Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji Tours

Even for the experienced traveller to Japan, it is much easier to take one of the organised tours from Tokyo to see Mount Fuji. Most organised tours include the near by Hakone and some include a return trip on the Shinkansen (bullet train). Book your tour of Mount Fuji here.
