Where to See Mt. Fuji: Top Viewpoints & Hidden Spots┊Mark & Sarah
The best Mt. Fuji viewpoints are waiting to be discovered — from Fujikawaguchiko to hidden lakeside spots, this is your ultimate guide to where to see Mt. Fuji in Japan.
In this first part of our Mt. Fuji travel series, we journey from Kyoto to the Fuji Five Lakes region and check into the incredible K’s House hostel, where every window comes with a breathtaking view of Japan’s most iconic mountain.
🚗 With our hire car, we dedicate a full day to exploring the most famous and secret viewpoints of Mt. Fuji, from the iconic Lawson’s convenience store backdrop to panoramic lakeside views and sunrise-to-sunset perspectives.
Along the way, we capture stunning drone footage and even witness the rare Diamond Fuji phenomenon, where the sun aligns perfectly with Fuji’s peak. If you’re planning a trip to Japan, love photography, or just want to know exactly where to see Mt. Fuji at its most beautiful, this video is the ultimate Fuji travel vlog and guide.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll stay in one of Fuji’s most luxurious ryokans.
