Overview
Take a trip to Mount Fuji on your Japan Vacation
Mount Fuji is a cultural icon of Japan, its symmetrical snow-covered cone depicted in art, photography, and literature everywhere. It is Japan's highest mountain, standing 12,389 ft (3,776 m) above sea level, on the Japanese island of Honshu. Due to its geographical location, it is an active volcano. Mount Fuji is one of Japan's Three Holy Mountains.
On clear days, Mount Fuji is visible from the Japanese capital, Tokyo. It is also possible to hike to the top of Mount Fuji. Set off from Tokyo to Hakone National Park. Drive halfway up the mountain to the Subaru Line 5th Station for breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. You can also explore the five lakes at the foot of Mount Fuji. Lake Yamanaka is the largest and closest to the mountain, offering stunning views.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Every season offers something to fall in love with, but autumn feels especially magical—fewer tourists, crisp weather, and foliage that rivals the famous blossoms.
