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).
