It also provides access to some great examples of Lava caves of which the \'Bat cave\' is the geologically best. The local bus service is not that punctual so be prepared to wait a while for buses. If your looking to buy Volcano merchandise the options are a bit limited. close

Mount Fuji is arguably the most recognisable mountain in the world, and possibly the most beautiful. In my opinion,ｔhe best view of the mountain is from the north shore of Kawaguchiki, and it is best seen in the orange glow of dawn or dusk.

Mount Fuji is a beaufiful place. You don't necessarely need to climb it (and it's fairly difficult on the low season anyway, due to bus reductions) : travelling around the nearby lakes gives also a very nice perspective on the Fuji san AND the lakes .

Unsurprisingly, this whole area revolves around the sacred mountain and climbing up it, around it or just trying to see it.
