Travelling across the countryside of Kanagawa and Shizuoka, one of the most jaw dropping sights that you simply won't miss is Mount Fuji. As Japan's highest mountain, it has long been revered as the nation's pride and a spiritual embodiment of "home" for many. This guide offers a brief introduction to my journey south of Mount Fuji, spanning the two prefectures over a concise 4-day car trip, highlighting how I came to appreciate the natural beauty, grandeur, and unparalleled cultural value of Mount Fuji. Here are 10 less crowded spots to enjoy Mount Fuji, carefully curated into 4 chapters - Fuji by the Sea, Fuji from the Mountains, Understanding Fuji, and Fuji from the City. It is worth noting that Mount Fuji can be observed from twenty out of Japan's forty-seven prefectures, however visibility is extremely weather dependent, so you will also need luck on your side! This is just the tip of the iceberg, and I can't wait to be back already.
