Scenic Train Ride to Mount Fuji: Must-Do Experience at Fuji’s Foot 🚞🗻

First time exploring the breathtaking Mount Fuji area in Japan’s stunning Kanto region? 🇯🇵
Don’t miss the unforgettable train journey that puts Japan’s iconic peak right outside your window! 🚉

🚞 Ultimate Fuji Viewing Guide
◾︎ Pro tip: Always check GGMAP 🗺️ before boarding—look for “Local” trains (各站停车) that offer leisurely rides with picture-perfect Fuji views. 【Steer clear of “Limited Express” (特急) and “Premium Limited Express” (收费特急) which zoom past the scenery】
2️⃣ For the classic Fuji experience, hop on at Shimoyoshida Station bound for Kawaguchiko.

【My personal favorite route runs from Shimoyoshida to Fujisan Station】
3️⃣ The absolute best views unfold between 【Shimoyoshida and Gekkōji】—have your camera ready! You’ll catch bonus glimpses during the shorter 【Gekkōji to Fujisan】 stretch too.
4️⃣ Golden hour magic: Early mornings or evenings deliver perfect lighting and fewer crowds.

Midday rides often face harsh backlighting.
