Mount Fuji reflected in Lake Kawaguchi

Nature & hot springs

Mt. Fuji views

Reflected in a lake, framed by a pagoda, seen from the bullet train window — and you can go up as far as the 5th Station.

Travel tips

  • Fuji often hides in cloud. It is clearest on winter mornings, when the air is crisp.
  • On the Tokaido Shinkansen from Tokyo toward Shin-Osaka, Fuji appears on the right (E-seat side).
