[Must-visit in Japan] A day trip to see Mount Fuji from afar and popular check-in spots

#日本必去打签点 Mount Fuji is definitely a must-visit attraction in Japan. If you go to Japan, a day trip to Mount Fuji is a must! If you want to go to Yamanashi Prefecture to see Mount Fuji from Tokyo, there are several options. One is to take a bus or train from Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko, the second is to rent a car/charter a car, and the third is to sign up for a one-day tour from Tokyo. These three methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but all of them can help you check in at these must-visit check-in spots by following this internet celebrity route! Preparation before departure: Check the visibility index of Mount Fuji. There is an official website that predicts the visibility index for each day. It is not accurate if you check it too far in advance. It is recommended to check it 1-2 days in advance and go only when the index is 8-10. Departure time: 8 am It takes more than two hours to drive from downtown Tokyo to Yamanashi Prefecture. It is recommended that you get up early! Check-in point 1: Kawaguchiko Oishi Park This is the location where you can take the most beautiful photos of Mount Fuji. The scenery is very beautiful. There are several small shops next to it where you can buy Mount Fuji related souvenirs. The recommended visiting time is 40 minutes. Check-in point 2: Lawson convenience store A famous photo spot, the top of Lawson is Mount Fuji. There are quite a lot of people, so you need to queue up. The recommended visiting time is 20 minutes, mainly depending on how many people are queuing up. Check-in point 3: Hikawa Watch Shop This is a street with many Japanese-style shops, and it is famous for its similarity to the scene of the Worry-Free Grocery Store. You can see Mount Fuji at the end of the road, but there is actually no place to visit on this street, and there are no restaurants. It is recommended to take photos for 15 minutes and then leave. Check-in point 4: Owakudani A scenic spot full of sulfur smell and smoke. When the weather is good, you can see Mount Fuji from afar. There are several souvenir shops where you can buy the special black eggs there. You can also choose to take the cable car to see the entire valley. Other recommended check-in spots: Sengen Park, Tianti Town You can consider going there according to your schedule and time. You can take beautiful pictures when the weather is good. I went there in the summer and the weather was average. Mount Fuji no longer has snow on its top. The best time to visit is in spring around April. #Fuji #FujiKawaguchiko #Halloween2023
