PERFECT DAY TRIP to MOUNT FUJI from TOKYO! 🇯🇵 (Everything You Need to Know)
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a day trip from Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchiko to view Mount Fuji. They travel via a highway bus from Tokyo Station, noting that booking in advance is essential as early slots fill up quickly. Upon arrival, they observe snow on the mountain peak and suggest using online visibility trackers to plan the best viewing days. The itinerary includes taking a ropeway for panoramic views and a lake cruise, which the creators identify as a highlight of the trip. They also visit a local shop to try Mount Fuji shaped cookies and dine on traditional hot noodles at Houtou Fudo, a restaurant featuring tatami mat seating. The creators compare different travel methods, concluding that the highway bus is the most affordable and efficient option compared to the more expensive Fuji Excursion train or organized guided tours. The trip concludes with a visit to the Chureito Pagoda to catch the sunset before returning to Tokyo.

That cruise was amazing. I think that was the highlight of our day.
The dish itself is amazing. Thick, chewy, udon style noodles in a rich miso based broth filled with seasonal vegetables.
