4 Days in Mt. Fuji 🗻 | Best Lake Views, Hidden Gems, Cafes & Food in Japan

4 days in Mt. Fuji showed us a side of Japan we somehow love even more every time 🤍

From Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Yamanaka, Lake Shoji, Lake Motosu, Lake Saiko, and Lake Tanuki to hidden viewpoints, local food, and cozy cafes, this Mt. Fuji itinerary showed us how much more there is to explore beyond the usual photo spots.

We spent four days visiting scenic parks, peaceful lakes, iconic viewpoints, and local food spots that made this area feel so special. From hoto noodles, fluffy pancakes, and yakiniku to beautiful stops like Oshino Hakkai, Shiraito Falls, Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato, Fujisan Yumeno Ohashi Bridge, and Obuchi Sasaba, every day gave us a different side of Mt. Fuji.

If you’re planning a Mt. Fuji trip, looking for hidden gems near Mt. Fuji, or deciding how many days to spend around the lakes, this vlog shares some of our favorite places across four full days.
