Visit Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji has become an iconic symbol of Japan. Standing at 3776 metres, it is the country’s highest mountain – and the most climbed mountain in the world! If hiking isn’t your thing then head to Kawaguchi, one of the five lakes surrounding Fuji to enjoy views without the crowds. Spend the night glamping in the tranquil red pine forest where endless activities such as sunrise canoeing, hiking in lava caves and cycling tours are offered. To enjoy the view from the comfort of a hot spring then stay in a traditional Ryokan in the nearby mountainous town of Hakone, where the stunning snow-capped peak is visible over Lake Ashi. Venture even closer by gliding over the lake by boat, or take a gondola for panoramic views. However you decide to experience it, the iconic mountain is a must-see.

We felt so relieved on arrival into Tokyo that everything had been prearranged. Japan can feel quite busy and mad, but we knew that Katie had taken care of everything. We had the best guides and easy transfers, and we loved every minute of the cherry blossom experience.
