Mount Fuji is Japan’s tallest mountain, and it can be seen all the way from Tokyo. The mountain itself welcomes all sorts of visitors, but a much simpler way to enjoy Mount Fuji’s beauty is to view it from a distance. Some of the most famous viewing spots are found next to Fuji Five Lakes: Kawaguchiko, Yamanakako, Saiko, Shojiko, and Motosuko. These lakes often have parks and areas with clear and unobstructed views of Mount Fuji. Travelers can also visit mountain viewing facilities with special exhibits, such as Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre in Shizuoka.

If you’re planning to visit, autumn or winter are the best times, as the skies will be mostly clear. It might be a good idea to stay for a few days so you have more chances of seeing this spectacular creation of nature. Scroll down to find where to stay near Mount Fuji for the best view.
