2025 Fuji Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

On our latest trip to Japan, we visited Sihizuoka City for 1 day and 1 night. This city is soooooo cute!!! There weren’t many people and we got a full view of Mt. Fuji. If you’re going to this area, I recommend you stop by for 1-2 days. . #Photo Location 📍Fujisan Yameno Ohashi 📍Uruoi Bridge 📍Fuji Sky View 📍Starbucks Coffee Fujikawa 📍Obuchi Sasaba 📍Hotel Nishimura #TravelJapan #TravelPlan #fujisan #japan #shizuoka

This is Mariko (@mariko000001) from Weekend Travel ☺️ I've put together a list of the most amazing views I've ever been to that I'd like to recommend 💛 There are many places you can enjoy throughout the four seasons, so I hope you'll definitely go ☺️✨ Among them, Kamikochi, which I chose for the cover, opens in mid-April and is my favorite place to see the beautiful Japanese Alps 🏔️ The most popular season is summer, but personally, I like Kamikochi the best after it opens ❣️ It's cold, so you'll need to wear warm clothes 😚 I hope this is helpful!

No matter how many times you visit Tokyo, you must capture Mount Fuji! This time, I was lucky to get a shot of Mount Fuji in May, so I hope to share it with everyone. The locations are not hard to find at all. P1: Yume no Ohashi Bridge P2: Fuji City (a must-pass through when traveling from Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchi, surrounded by Mount Fuji, hence the name Fuji City) P3: Midori no Tenboudai (a newly popular photo spot for Mount Fuji in recent years) P4-P5: Heading to Lake Kawaguchi for photos P6: New Century Lake Kawaguchi Fuji Hotel P7-8: Tenjoyama Park P9: Oishi Park No matter how many photos you take of Mount Fuji, it's never enough. I hope to visit again in winter and find even more photo spots.

Although we didn’t see any cherry blossoms during this cruise, we did see Mount Fuji in clear weather and with great clarity! Lao Zhao and I walked and took photos in the small town of Fuji for the whole day. It was really great. I didn’t feel tired even after walking more than 20,000 steps! . We spent a day finding all the beautiful camera positions in Fuji City, and there were many street scenes that we saw while walking around that were very photogenic. We couldn't help but stop at every street corner where we could see Mount Fuji in the distance. It was really beautiful! . 📝I’ll share with you a route to see Mt. Fuji while walking: JR Tokai Main Line to Fuji Station – Fuji Station West Exit – Mt. Fuji 7-11 – Vending machines at the foot of Mt. Fuji – Mt. Fuji Yume Ohashi – apollostation Self New Fuji SS . p2: Fuji Station West Exit This is where you can go west after exiting the JR station and take photos standing on the overpass. p1: Fujisan Yume no Ohashi Bridge In the middle of this bridge there is a straight road leading to Mt. Fuji, and the middle part has been fenced off considerately so cars can’t get close, so it’s not dangerous. p3: Stairs leading up to Fujiyama Yume no Ohashi Bridge This staircase looks like it leads to Mt. Fuji, and everyone will consciously line up to take photos. p4: 7-11 at Mount Fuji After exiting Fuji Station, navigate to the first 7-11 on the way to Yume-ohashi, the same as Lawson at Kawaguchiko. . You can find many Easter egg camera positions along this route. If you have walked this route, please remember to share it with us!

It's famous among camera lovers! ? In cherry blossom season, people with big cameras gather at Ryuganbuchi Bridge! It is a famous spot in the industrial area of ​​Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Ryuganbuchi is a place where you can see such a wonderful view! Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms, and a river! A wonderful contrast. It is also charming to see the chimneys 🏭 that are unique to industrial areas. The difficulty here is that there are very few parking spaces, so you have to drive around the area and if you are lucky, you can park 😭😭 The approximate location of the official small parking lot is shown on the map in the last photo! There is a private parking lot a little further away that is only open during this season, but even there it is difficult to park. It is best to avoid crowded times and go early in the morning! Outing plan 📍 Ryuganbuchi Address: 897 Yamamoto, Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture 416-0901 Opening hours: 24 hours Cost: Free Recommendation: You can see Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms at the same time ♪ It is also recommended to walk around the surrounding bridges and banks ⚠ Note: There are very few parking spaces, so you will be lucky if you can park #sakura2024 #sakura2024 #cherryblossomconquest #breathtakingcherryblossomviews

Address: Shizuoka Prefecture Atmosphere/Facilities: Hotel Recommended point: Mt. Fuji Average price: 8000 yen Budget per person: 4000 yen Evaluation: Mt. Fuji looked very beautiful. But it was pitch black at night. In the morning, it looked very beautiful again.

Fujinokuni Tagonoura Minato Park, where you can enjoy both mountain and sea views from the north to the south, with Suruga Bay to the south and Mt. Fuji to the north. 🏞️ We were blessed with good weather, and under clear blue skies, we were able to see the view of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay from the Shizuoka side from the Mt. Fuji Dragon Tower. 🔭 ------------------------------------------- [Access] 🚃: Get off at JR Yoshiwara Station, about 25 minutes on foot 🚶‍♂️ Get off at Shin-Fuji Station on the Tokaido Shinkansen, about 10 minutes by taxi 🚗: About 15 minutes from Fuji IC on the Tomei Expressway [Opening hours] 🕰: The park is open all day. *Parking is available from 8:00 to 17:00 ------------------------------------------- #Amazing view #Shizuoka #Shizuoka trip #Tagonoura #Tagonoura Minato Park #Mt.

It was so nice trip my kids enjoyed it so much and it was so unforgettable experience. They also had so much parking and it’s so enjoyable for adult as well.

#ShizuokaTrip A huge park facility at the foot of Mt. Fuji. It's like a nature theme park, divided into three parts: the city, the water country, and the grassland country. They regularly offer discounts on admission for adults, so it's 530 yen instead of 830 yen for adults. It's free for elementary school students and younger, so it's a very convenient price setting. There are plenty of play programs, and you can canoe and fish for rainbow trout. However, since it was Children's Day, it was already full and sold out when I entered. I wanted to interact with the animals at the ranch, but the park is huge. It's quite far away...I heard that the means of transportation are the train and the park's circular bus, but those were also full, and although the grounds are large, various things were saturated. I think I'd enjoy it more if they improved it a bit more, or if I came when there were fewer people. Next time I'd like to try more play programs.

I went to a cheesecake shop in Fuji City, where you can see the big view of Mt. Fuji, a World Heritage Site! This time I bought a plain cheesecake and a Shizuoka matcha cake. It was a very filling cheesecake and it was very delicious! The inside and outside of the shop were very cute, almost photogenic! It was a shop that made me want to take pictures♪ Eating cheesecake while looking at Mt. Fuji is also great! Please go and check it out! ##Fuji #World Heritage Site #Mt. Fuji #Photogenic

I'm on the highway heading to eat Sawayaka's hamburger, a Shizuoka specialty. I stopped off at the Ashigara service area for a break, and got a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji! The snowy scenery of Mt. Fuji is amazing. The toilets were clean and spacious, and there was a food court and restaurant inside. #SnowyScenery

There's a steam locomotive just a short distance from Iriyamase Station in Shizuoka Prefecture! I was a bit curious, so I got off and discovered that it used to be in operation. I was able to see a big, impressive steam locomotive at this small station. There was also a library that had been converted from a train in front of the steam locomotive. I wasn't able to see it in operation, but it's definitely worth a visit! It's within reach of Fujinomiya and Fuji, so why not stop by for a quick train break? #Fujinomiya #Fuji #Shizuoka

We went to "Old Souko Plus" in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture! It's a bar and cafe that was renovated from an old warehouse, with a hidden feel, and is committed to local production and consumption. Please come and visit us sometime~ #Shizuoka#Gourmet Trip #Couple Trip

I went to Mt. Fuji Children's World in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture❗️ It's an adventure kingdom at the foot of Mt. Fuji that both adults and children can enjoy😁 The sweetfish I caught and grilled over charcoal was delicious🐟 You should definitely visit it sometime~ #FujiCity#Mt.FujiChildren'sWorld#ThemePark #PlayToyAtTheThemePark#SupportTourism

Mount Fuji ++ The weather is nice. The cherry blossoms are starting to bloom beautifully. It's suitable for traveling during this period. 🥰🥰🥰 If anyone has plans to travel, I recommend coming during this period. The atmosphere is beautiful. The view is worth seeing. ++ The cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Take beautiful pictures. The food is delicious. Stop by and visit. 😍😍😍 If anyone has plans to travel, I recommend bringing a long-sleeved shirt to wear comfortably because the weather is warm and not cold. €€ Stop by and visit. 🥰🥰🥰#TravelJapan

#HawaiiAirlineEvent Shizuoka Hotel Nishimura was the best value for money among the Mt. Fuji view accommodations. I was amazed by how clear Mt. Fuji was from the room window, just like a painting. I was completely satisfied with the fact that I could enjoy such a great view without having to worry about the price. The room was clean and the bathroom was well-maintained, and all the basic amenities were provided, so it was comfortable. There were convenience stores and restaurants nearby, so the location was good, and it was easy to get around from Shizuoka Station. If you are looking for a cost-effective hotel with a good view of Mt. Fuji, I highly recommend this place. It is the perfect place to stay quietly and admire Mt. Fuji.

#cherryblossom25 When you think of Mount Fuji, many people immediately think of the northern area around Lake Kawaguchi. However, the temperature there is still cold, and the cherry blossoms aren't quite at their best yet due to recent snow. I recommend heading to the southern side of Mount Fuji, where there are plenty of great cherry blossom spots to explore. My top recommendation is Ryugan Falls near Irimazuse Station. On clear days, the cherry blossoms here are absolutely breathtaking. The forecast looks great, with sunny days ahead—so if you're looking to capture those stunning photos of Mount Fuji with cherry blossoms, now’s the perfect time to go. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until next year! 🌸 Location: Ryugan Falls (潤井川龍巖淵) or Takido Bridge How to Get There: From Irimazuse Station, it's just an 8-minute walk to the spot. 🚶♀️ This hidden gem offers fantastic views of Mount Fuji with cherry blossoms in full bloom, and it’s a much quieter alternative to the more crowded spots around Lake Kawaguchi. Don't miss out on this perfect springtime experience! 🌸 #travel

#cherryblossom25 During my stay in Mount Fuji, I first visited Ryugan Falls, which was beautiful, but I stumbled upon an even bigger surprise nearby: Iwamoto Mountain Park (岩本山公園). The moment I entered the park, I was greeted by rows of cherry trees in full bloom! The trees are quite large, and the blossoms were magnificent. 🌸 What makes this park extra special is that it’s free and not crowded at all, mainly frequented by locals who know where the best cherry blossom spots are. This is not a trendy spot for tourists—it's truly a paradise for cherry blossom lovers! While the parks in central Tokyo are packed with people, here, you can enjoy a peaceful walk through a cherry blossom forest, with breathtaking views of Mount Fuji as the backdrop. Every photo feels like a postcard! 📸🏔️ Location: Iwamoto Mountain Park (富士岩本山公园) How to Get There: From Tokyo Station, take the Shinkansen to Shin-Fuji Station. Then, transfer to a local bus heading to the park (multiple buses available daily). Alternatively, I rented a car in Mount Fuji for more flexibility and ease in exploring the area. 🚗 Why You Should Visit: Cherry Blossoms + Mount Fuji: The park is a hidden photographer’s dream, with vast fields of Somei Yoshino cherry trees in bloom. The pink sea of blossoms contrasts beautifully with the distant Mount Fuji. Every shot you take looks like it could be on a postcard! 📷🌸 Fewer Tourists, More Beauty: Compared to the crowded famous spots, this park is peaceful and serene. You can have the entire cherry blossom grove to yourself and truly enjoy the tranquility of the place. 🌿🌄 Tea Gardens Along the Way: On the way to the park, there are scenic tea gardens where you can stop and explore. The views of the tea fields with Mount Fuji in the background are stunning! 🌱🍵 #travel

Another wonderful Japan solo trip. My very first winter hike at Mount Fuji, although didn’t make it to the summit because of snow storm but it was a great experience ~ I also enjoyed to run during winter, it is something I couldn’t do in Malaysia. Of course, I love Japanese food too #travel #japan #mountfuji #outdooradventure #hiking #winterhike #runningman #outdoorgear

#HawaiiFlightEvent I visited Yoshinoya in Shizuoka, and it was a really special experience. It was really great to eat rice bowl while looking at the beautiful view of Mt. Fuji outside the window. Yoshinoya's rice bowl was delicious as always, and the fast service made it easy to enjoy the meal. It was so special to eat with Mt. Fuji in the background, and it tasted even better. I want to visit again next time because I can enjoy such a beautiful view at a reasonable price. Location: Near Shizuoka JR Station

#HawaiiAirlineEvent You enjoyed rice bowls at Yoshinoya near Shizuoka JR Station! Yoshinoya is a representative fast food rice bowl chain with branches throughout Japan, and is famous for its reasonable prices and fast service. There are many delicious restaurants in the Shizuoka area, so we recommend that you try local rice bowls in addition to Yoshinoya. For example: • Shimizuko Minami: A raw tuna rice bowl specialty restaurant located near Shizuoka Station, where you can taste fresh tuna and various parts, making it popular with both locals and tourists.  • Eel rice bowl specialty restaurant near Yume no Ohashi: A special experience where you can taste eel with the scent of charcoal grilling at an eel rice bowl specialty restaurant located near Yume no Ohashi.  These restaurants offer a different charm from Yoshinoya, so we recommend that you try various rice bowls during your trip to Shizuoka!

#HawaiiAirlineEvent Hotel Nishimura has a great view for the price, and it was really convenient because it also provided free parking. I brought a car, and I was able to park comfortably without worrying about parking fees, so I was able to move around stress-free throughout my trip. The parking lot is also spacious and well-managed, so it seems like a big advantage for those who frequently drive. With the view of Mt. Fuji and free parking, it was a satisfying experience for the price! Location: Hotel Nishimura, Fuji City, Japan

#HawaiiAirlineEvent Hotel Nishimura boasts a truly outstanding view for its price. The view from the hotel room was amazing. In particular, the view of Mt. Fuji outside the window was truly beautiful, and I was satisfied because I could see Mt. Fuji from different angles all day long. It was a hotel with great value for money that I could enjoy this kind of view despite the fact that the price was not that expensive. And the facilities in the hotel were clean and comfortable, so I was able to have a good rest. Location: Hotel Nishimura, Fuji City, Japan

#HawaiiAirlineEvent Shizuoka Hotel Nishimura was a great place to stay with a view of Mt. Fuji. The view of Mt. Fuji from the room was really nice, and the price was very satisfactory. The room was clean and well-equipped with all the necessary facilities, so I was able to stay comfortably. In particular, it was really nice to wake up in the morning looking at Mt. Fuji. There were many places to eat and convenience stores nearby, so it was very convenient, and the distance from Shizuoka Station was moderately close, so it was easy to get around. I think it is a good value choice for travelers who want to see Mt. Fuji up close.
