[Mount Fuji's life-saving strategy 🗻 All the landmines you stepped on in Kawaguchiko are just brainwashed]

Summary of the third walk around the lake! The days when you can see the complete Mount Fuji are the chosen ones. Avoid these hidden minefields in advance to make the trip worthwhile👇🏻 🚌Traffic pit prevention guide •Book the right-side seat for the Shinjuku→Kawaguchiko bus 1 month in advance (select row E/F on the official website) ⚠️On-site ticket purchases may only have standing room available! • It is more cost-effective to buy a 2-day ticket for the Red Line Tour Bus (300 yen per trip, 2800 yen for unlimited rides) • I wanted to take a photo of the train and Mt. Fuji at the same time, so I went to Shimoyoshida Station, but there was only one train every 20 minutes (check the timetable in advance) 🗻Guide to Mountain Viewing Metaphysics •Go only if visibility forecast is >8! Download "Fujisan Mieru Camera" to view the summit status in real time • Best shooting time: 1 hour after sunrise + 2 hours before sunset (silhouettes can be taken against the light at noon) • Cloudy day savior: rush into the "Kawaguchiko Natural Living Museum" to buy limited postcards, and the reflection of Mount Fuji is photoshopped 🏨Accommodation hidden rules •It is more worthwhile to choose the "one night and two meals" plan at a hot spring hotel! But you must check in before 18:00 (no make-up if you miss dinner) •Book a room with private bath 3 months in advance! The window view rooms at the internet-famous "Hushan Pavilion" are always fully booked. ⚠️Tattooers bring their own waterproof stickers! If you find a tattoo in a public hot spring, you will be asked to leave. 🍜Foodie trivia •Hoto (Hoto) is cooked in a small pot! Noodles cooked in a large pot will be soft and mushy (recommended "Koshu Kosaku") • Mount Fuji-shaped curry buns are sold at "Fujisan Pan" every day at 11:00 (queue up 20 minutes in advance) • When buying "Mount Fuji Mineral Water" at a convenience store, look for the altitude on the bottle (only specific water sources can have it printed on it) 📸Photography Shura Field • Arrive at Arakurayama Sengen Park before 7:30! After 9 o'clock, the tour group captured the Chungrei Pagoda •Buy round-trip tickets for the Tenjoyama Park Cable Car! The queue starts from 2 hours (window seats at the Peak Cafe are very popular) •Winter only! "Oishi Park" reeds + Mount Fuji background The light is the best at 4 pm 🚲Unlock deep gameplay • Renting an electric bike is 3 times faster than taking the bus! Search "Kawaguchiko Renta Sicuru" on Google Maps •Choose the 16:00 cruise! The sunset dyed Mount Fuji pink and gold (deck seats are on a first-come, first-served basis) • Bring a tripod for night photography! Ubuya Gasaki Starry Sky + Mount Fuji The Milky Way can be seen with the naked eye at 1 a.m. ⚠️Blood and Tears Experience Pack •Carry 100 yen coins with you! All lockers and telescopes at scenic spots require coins •Crampons are a must in winter! The trail on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchiko is severely frozen (convenience stores sell simple trails) •Don’t touch the lake! It looks clear but actually contains volcanic minerals (allergic people may get rashes) 🗺️Private emergency tips 🌧️Rainy day plan B: Check in at the "Music Box Forest Museum" and listen to the hourly music fountain 🚑Sprain treatment: The "Da Chi Hospital" by the lake has Chinese translation (don't forget to bring your insurance card) 📱 Life-saving APP: Windy to check cloud direction/YAMAP to check hiking routes Whether or not Mount Fuji will appear depends entirely on fate, but these preparations can maximize the experience!
