More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the back of a comfortable, air‑conditioned vehicle and the road unfurls toward Mount Fuji’s broad silhouette—its peak already cutting a clean line against the sky. The guide navigates quieter roads on the mountain’s southern flank, pausing where the view and light are best: a glassy lake that dares you to catch the upside‑down Fuji, a ribbon of waterfall that pours like white silk, tea terraces that angle toward the summit.
