MOUNT FUJI TOURS
Mount Fuji Tours & Guide - Mount Fuji tours
(including Mt Fuji Tours from Tokyo), climbing Mount Fuji, maps,
pictures, history and the origin of the name.
Mount
Fuji (富士山 Fuji-san, 3776 meters) is Japan's highest mountain
and one of top icons of Japan. 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 Tours
If you want to see
both Mt Fuji and Hakone
in one day it is easier to take one of the organised tours from
Tokyo to see Mt Fuji
as accessing Mt Fuji area via public transport
is more challenging and best done over two days. Of course trying to see
Hakone and Mt Fuji is
going to be a compromise as there is not enough time in one day to see both
properly. We recommend doing this trip on a week day as the roads out of
Tokyo can be packed on the weekends. Most organised
tours include the near by Hakone and some include a
return trip on the Shinkansen (bullet train).
