Naturally, you\u2019ll want to spend as much time trying to soak in the majesty of Mt. Fuji. But know that it\u2019s not always as visible as it seems. Most of the time, it looms right before you behind clouds and mist, yup, even in the peak of spring and summer. Make sure you stay here for at least the whole day, if not a few days to catch a glimpse of Fuji-san. When here though, you won\u2019t be bored. There\u2019s plenty for you to do in and around the Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures where it lies. <\/p>\n

10 Things To Do In Mt. Fuji<\/h2>\n

Visit Lake Kawaguchiko<\/h2>\n

The view of Mt Fuji from the shore of Lake Kawaguchi is framed by pine trees, and if you\u2019re lucky, it\u2019s a great spot to get a reflection of the mountain, on a clear day, that is. I had to wait for about 8 hours to get this, but I got one. While waiting, hop on a bicycle for a lap around the lake, or sit at the cafe eating matcha ice cream. The Kawaguchiko Music Forest Museum is also not too far off, for you to check out. <\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/strong> Here in November or early December? Head to Autumn Tunnel, a street on the east side of the lake where the fall leaves and crimson trees make for the most stunning photos. <\/p>\n

Climb Mt. Fuji <\/h2>\n

Watching the sunrise from Mt Fuji is spectacular. It usually takes about two days with stops, so plan for it in advance. If you are up for the challenge, then hike up in 6 hours, but only between July and September. <\/p>\n
