Tokyo Trip｜A Must-See Once in a Lifetime: Mount Fuji

Tokyo Trip to Japan～Visited Kawaguchiko for the first time, and luckily, we saw Mount Fuji on the day we arrived. Although the peak of Mount Fuji had no snow, it was still quite special! I was already very happy to see Mount Fuji～but we couldn't see it the next day!
Mount Fuji is truly a rare sight...

Day 1: We took the Fuji Excursion from Shinjuku Station in Tokyo to Kawaguchiko, which took about 2 hours. We could already see Mount Fuji before getting off the train…. Watching videos and photos online is common, but seeing Mount Fuji in person is truly magnificent…

After getting off the train, we took the Red Line sightseeing bus to the hotel first. I didn't buy a Day pass, so it cost ¥250 per ride. Since it wasn't time to check in at the hotel yet, we had lunch nearby and then went to Tenjoyama Park to take the cable car. The round trip on the cable car cost ¥1000, and we waited for almost 30 minutes.

Tenjoyama Park offers a panoramic view of Mount Fuji, but it's not always visible. Often, clouds cover Mount Fuji. There are many photo spots at the observation deck, and playing on the swing costs ¥500 per person. After passing the swing and walking further up, you'll find another observation deck!

Be sure to check the last cable car time, or you'll have to walk down the mountain! Next to the cable car station is a shop called FUJIYAMA COOKIE, where all the cookies are shaped like Mount Fuji. Luckily, we made it in time to buy some Mount Fuji cookies!

The above is purely personal feelings and sharing
