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.

The largest budget hotel chain in Japan with 700 hotels in 47 prefectures; conveniently located near the train station. Below are hand-picked APA Hotels with good reviews . ✨Tip: APA Hotels are conveniently located near the train station, but the room size is incredibly small, usually 11m² / 118ft². The bathroom is particularly tiny (if you are visiting from the States or you are two people, I can not recommend unless you are used to small space); Prices differ based on the location and season, plus how advanced the booking is made; city outskirts tend to be lower priced than city centers. "Ekimae" means "by the train station".

When in Japan, you can't leave without tasting Edomae sushi.

Himukai Daijingu is a Kyoto location which includes nature, history, and folklore. In this guide we'll find one of the most interesting, and scenic shrines in Kyoto, but also one that doesn't suffer from the over-crowding that occurs at some of the more city central shrines and temples. This walking guide route takes you into nature, delves in to folklore, and also into the time of major modernization and industrialization of Japan, the Meiji Era. We'll also see the site of a bloody samurai battle! It is conveniently accessible from Kyoto centre, but also connects to the scenic hiking route, The Kyoto Trail, should the more adventurous visitor wish to extend their route in that direction. It's the Kyoto that most visitors don't see.
