Mount Fuji, the iconic symbol of Japan, peers over the serene expanse of Lake Yamanaka, a sight that'll leave you mesmerized. Like a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki film, it's a juxtaposition of stillness and majesty, nature's very own dramatic spectacle. Lush summer greens, fall's fiery display, winter's pristine whites, or spring's vibrant cherry blossoms, the scenery at Fuji changes with every season, each more enchanting than the last.

The journey to Mount Fuji and Lake Yamanaka from Tokyo is as enchanting as the destination itself. From Tokyo Station, board the JR Chuo Line to Otsuki Station. It's a captivating ride, and as you look out the window, you'll see the landscape subtly shift from urban sprawl to picturesque countryside. At Otsuki, switch to the Fujikyu Line, disembarking at Fujisan Station.
Outside Fujisan Station, you'll find buses heading towards Lake Yamanaka. They run frequently, and the ride is about an hour. As you approach, the first glimpse of Mount Fuji over Lake Yamanaka is truly a sight to behold, a perfect appetizer for the feast of natural beauty that lies ahead!
