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! Comments are also encouraging, so even just emojis are welcome ~ Where do you want to go? 𝕚𝕟𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -𖤣𖥧𖥣𖡡𖥧𖤣 ⚠️All information is current as of March 2024.

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!

A wonderful view of the tea plantation with Mount Fuji. There is a parking lot and a bathroom. There is no admission fee, and you can walk freely to the tea plantation. The road to the parking lot is quite narrow, so be careful if you drive here. However, you can park in the parking lot a little away from the tea plantation and walk here. This is the most scenic spot in this area. There is a free parking lot and a bathroom, and you can taste delicious tea at the store. The tea leaves sold there are also cheap. I recommend the black tea. It has a refreshing taste with a bit of bitterness.

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.

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

Book your flight tickets with Rip for the next year at a price that is pleasing to travelers. #trip #travel to Japan Plus, you can sit next to each other. This trip, I went with my boyfriend as usual. This time, we went to Fujisan. The view is very beautiful. The weather when we went was quite nice, cool and not too cold, but I still wanted to go during the snowfall. But this time, I got a room and flight tickets, so I chose to come here. I was not disappointed and was really impressed with the trip. I would like to recommend everyone to go.

Tomei Expressway, Fujikawa Interchange, Outbound The Fujikawa Interchange on the outbound side is very prosperous, but the outbound side is quiet (almost a little lonely). To enjoy this prosperity, it's best to be quiet like that. The view beyond the Starbucks Coffee in the back. There aren't many people, so it might be a hidden gem. #Fujikawa Service Area

On the way back from Tokyo to Nagoya, I wanted to eat something delicious, so I stopped by **"Adonis" in Yoshiwara Honmachi, Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture! Here, I can enjoy Fuji City's local gourmet, "Tsuke Napolitan"**🥳✨. [What is the appeal of Tsuke Napolitan? 🍝] ① At first glance, you might think, "It's Neapolitan, but it's tsukemen?", but it's incredibly delicious! Tsuke Napolitan is a new type of dish that is different from regular Neapolitan, in that the pasta is dipped in a rich tomato sauce. Adonis-style Tsuke Napolitan The chewy pasta noodles and the soup is tomato-based but has a strong chicken stock, giving it a rich flavor. The balance of moderate acidity and sweetness is perfect, and you're sure to be hooked the moment you take a bite! 🍅✨ ② There are plenty of ingredients! It contains sausage, bacon, green peppers, and onions, and while it keeps to the classic Neapolitan, it has a fresh taste in the tsukemen style. Adonis has a great atmosphere! ☕️ The retro coffee shop atmosphere is irresistible! It's a joy to be able to enjoy delicious tsuke-napolitan in a relaxed and calm space💫. It's nice to stop by on your trip and discover local gourmet food. The perfect spot on the way home🚗✨ Before returning to Nagoya, take a little detour to the Mt. Fuji area of ​​Shizuoka. Adonis's tsuke-napolitan will fill your stomach and your heart, and blow away the fatigue of the drive! The best gourmet spot🍝✨ where you can experience the unique taste and atmosphere of Fuji City. Store information📍 Adonis 2-3-16 Yoshiwara, Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture ⏰ 10:00-18:00 (Closed on Wednesdays) If you feel like enjoying Shizuoka gourmet food on your way back to Nagoya from Tokyo, be sure to stop by🚗💨! #Fritabi Winter #Shizuoka #Tsuke Napolitan #Zero Yen Travel #Exquisite Gourmet

Don’t be crowded in Lake Kawaguchi. Amway is a niche check-in place on Mount Fuji that 99% of locals don’t know about. It can be said to be the best spot for “🌄Rizhao Jinshan”~👇 · 〰️〰️「Information」〰️〰️ 🔖Tanako Park Mount Fuji ドラゴンタワー 🚌Take the Fuji Bus to "Tago no Ura Park Station" 🚶It takes about 1 hour to walk from Shin-Fuji Station (traffic in the countryside is inconvenient, it is recommended to book a car or ride a bicycle in advance) ⚠️Remember to check the daily sunrise time · 〰️〰️「Aircraft Seat」〰️〰️ 🗺️See the map at the end 1️⃣ Along the long embankment, the sun rises with the lighthouse, golden waves ripple on the sea, and flying birds add a lot of atmosphere 2️⃣Climb up to the observation deck on the hillside and face north, where Mount Fuji and the sea are in the same frame. Overlooking the busy harbor throughout the day, the snow cap of Mount Fuji changes from dim to orange to blue. 3️⃣There is a small window facing north of the observatory, and you can use the frame to compose pictures. 4️⃣After coming down from the observatory, you can sit on the coastal platform and take a rest and enjoy the distance.

The popular viewpoint of Mount Fuji is a must-check-in spot for everyone. It's on the way back to Nagoya, so you can stop by to grab a coffee and enjoy the magnificent view of Mount Fuji. Even though it was raining, it was a great place to rest during the journey. I also enjoyed the leisurely pace of today's trip. We stopped by the fish market, which turned out to be a highlight of this trip. It was truly satisfying and made our trip complete.

Mount Fuji, standing 3,776 meters tall, is Japan's highest peak and a sacred symbol, often depicted in art and literature. An active stratovolcano with its last eruption in 1707-1708, Fuji offers breathtaking views and attracts millions of climbers and tourists annually. Awe-inspiring, right? Fuji's significance extends beyond its majestic presence; it's deeply embedded in Japanese culture. It’s home to the famous "Five Lakes of Fuji," offering stunning views of its symmetrical cone. Annually, the mountain attracts countless hikers, especially during the climbing season from July to early September. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, highlighting its cultural and natural importance.

This cake shop in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture is so high quality that it would definitely be popular even in Tokyo 🥹 The weekend-only chocolate cake plate was delicious, but it was made by someone from Kilfabon, so next time I'll try the fruit tart or the dessert course shop next door 🤤 It's far from the station, so it's recommended to go by car. The parking lot is large, so there is plenty of space to park. . . . 📍Quatre Epices Fuji Store 🗺️Shizuoka, Japan 🕑10:00-18:00 💰¥1500 #Fritabi #cafe #cake

This is the best hidden spot where you can dress up as a tea girl and drink tea while watching the tea fields and Mt. Fuji. The tea made with delicious tea leaves picked in the tea fields is the best🍵 You get three types of tea (green tea, roasted green tea, and black tea) and original cookies, and you have the private terrace all to yourself for two hours. It is only open for private use and there are only two or three terraces, so you must make a reservation in advance! The best time to see the tea fields is April to May. The color of the leaves may be a bit subtle at other times of the year💔 . . . 📍Mt.

#0yentravel #Fujicity #Fujicitygourmet #Tagonoura #Seafoodbowl The fishing port restaurant at Tagonoura Port in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, reopened on April 1st, so I went there right away. Tagonoura Port Fisheries Association Restaurant has a large parking lot and staff to guide you, so it's very easy to get to. It is also wheelchair accessible. The view of Mt. Fuji from where you park your car and head to the restaurant is very beautiful, so it's a great place to take guests from outside the prefecture.

This is Hotel Livemax BUDGET Fujiekimae, located in front of the south exit of Fuji Station, Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. There were many tables and chairs in the shared space at the check-in and entrance. I stayed in a deluxe single room this time. It was simple, but the room was spacious and open! Livemax is a hotel chain that often has microwaves in each room, so it's also useful for in-room dining. I had planned to see Mt. Fuji from near the hotel in the morning, but the weather (covered by clouds) was bad, so I gave up. If the weather is good, you can enjoy the view of Mt. Fuji from nearby, so it would be nice if the day you stay was a good day😊 40m from JR "South Exit of Fuji Station" Hotel Livemax BUDGET Fujiekimae 2-21 Yokowari Honmachi, Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture 416-0923 #Shizuoka #ShizuokaTrip #ShizuokaTourism #Fuji #ShizuokaHotel #FujiHotel #Hotel #Trip #ChubuTourism

This is Fuji Station, a transfer station between the JR Tokaido Line and the Minobu Line. I used the south exit, and there was a sign with Fuji City's catchphrase "The beginning of the journey to Mt.

Fuji beautifully, so this is a map you'll want to check out! #FujiCity #FujiTourism #FujiTrip #GuideMap #Shizuoka #ShizuokaTourism #TravelWithMe

📍Shizuoka, Japan If you are planning a trip to Shizuoka, you must know the dream bridge! A photo zone representing Shizuoka, Mt.
