Mount Fuji is Japan’s most revered natural treasure. Standing about 100kms from the heart of the Japanese capital, Mount Fuji is the captain of the country’s three holy mountains. The site has been granted many different accolades, including status as a World Heritage site in 2012. It has become one of the world’s most photographed landforms, with its almost-perfect volcanic shape and gorgeous snow-capped caldera.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of outdoor enthusiasts flock to this beautiful corner of Japan to conquer Fuji’s peak. It is certainly not for the faint-hearted as much of the terrain along with the local weather conditions create a rather challenging climb to the top. The climbing season only lasts for two months: July and August. Tours do not operate outside these months, but independent climbers can still brave the cold and dangers to try and reach the top.

Surrounding the mountain is the Hakone-Fuji-Izu National Park. This sprawling, untouched pocket of Mother Nature is home to some beautiful hot springs which attract thousands of tourists annually. Plenty of breath-taking hiking paths wind through the park too, providing views of the iconic mountain and the Fuji Five Lakes.
