A timeless symbol of Japan, Mt. Fuji is a majestic sight to behold, near or far, at any time of the year. The sacred volcano straddling Yamanashi and Shizuoka Prefectures is a haven for mountain climbers in the summer, and home to some of Japan’s most lush nature.

Japan’s tallest mountain, Mt. Fuji is easily accessible from central Tokyo, with public transport taking you as far as halfway up the mountain.
