Top 11 attractions in Yamanashi Prefecture
#1
Mt. Fuji 5th Station
At 7,546 feet (2,300 meters), Fuji-Subaru Line 5th Station—not to be confused with Fujinomiya 5th Station—affords incredible views over Fuji Five Lakes and Hakone National Park. Easily accessible by road, 5th Station lies at the midpoint of the Yoshida Trail to Mount Fuji’s summit; many hikers begin their ascent here.More
#2
Aokigahara Forest
The dense Aokigahara Forest lies at the northwestern base of Mount Fuji, the iconic, near-symmetrical cone-shaped mountain that rises in eastern Japan. It's also the second-most popular destination for people intent on dying by suicide. Nevertheless, the forest is a peaceful place to hike and enjoy nature.More
#3
Fuji-Q Highland
The Fuji-Q Highland amusement park enjoys an enviable setting near the base of Mount Fuji. Aside from its scenic setting, the park is best known for its record-setting roller coasters—four in total—that make it one of Japan’s most popular amusement parks.More
#4
Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park
With Mount Fuji as its dramatic backdrop and the stunning Lake Ashi below, Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park is magnificent from all angles. A popular detour for travelers visiting Tokyo, the park has ample opportunities for trekking and boat cruises.More
#5
Kawaguchi-ko (Lake Kawaguchi)
Located near Mt. Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi is the most easily accessible and developed of the Fuji Five Lakes. A popular day trip from Tokyo, Lake Kawaguchi offers plenty of natural beauty, access to Mt. Fuji and a variety of outdoor activities, as well as proximity to hot springs, museums, and other tourist attractions and amenities.More
#6
Fuji Five Lakes (Fujigoko)
While conical Mount Fuji dominates the skyline, at its foot are a number of other attractions, including the Fuji Five Lakes. Lakes Motosu, Shoji, Sai, Kawaguchi, and Yamanaka sit north of Fuji, in Yamanashi Prefecture. The attractive mountain views, lakes, and forests make this a popular area to visit from Tokyo.More
#7
Katsunuma Winery
Katsunuma, in Yamanashi prefecture, is a center of Japanese wine production, and the Katsunuma Winery is one of the most prominent wineries. Established in 1937, it produces wines mainly from the Koshu grape. Visitors can taste, learn about, and buy wines at Katsunuma Winery and dine at its restaurant, Kaze.More
#8
Lake Motosu (Motosu-ko)
Lake Motosu (Motosu-ko) is the largest and deepest of the Fuji-go-ko (Fuji Five Lakes); most travelers in Japan will see it on the ¥1,000 bill. Fewer see it in person, though, as it’s fairly undeveloped and furthest from the popular towns around Mt. Fuji. That’s great news if you’re into outdoor adventures like hiking, fishing, and camping.More
#9
Narusawa Ice Cave
One of the most popular attractions in the Mount Fuji area provides quite a contrast to the volcanic mountain: it’s an underground ice cave. The Narusawa Ice Cave, formed by an ancient eruption, lies beneath the infamous Aokigahara Forest that spreads out around the base of Mount Fuji. Visitors can explore on a short circuit track.More
#10
Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine (Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Jinja)
One of many temples across Japan associated with Mt. Fuji, the full name of this Shinto shrine—Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Jinja—translates as the shrine on the mountain’s north side. It’s a traditional starting point for mountain climbing expeditions, but casual visitors can enjoy the serene 17th-century temple within a cedar forest.More
#11
Beni Fuji no Yu Onsen
Soaking in an onsen–a bathhouse fed by natural hot springs–is an unmissable experience while in Japan. Travelers to the Lake Yamanaka area near Mount Fuji should check out the Beni Fuji no Yu Onsen. In the winter there are beautiful views of the mountain, whereas in the warmer months you can revive tired muscles after a hike.More
