TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Standing at 12,389 feet, Mount Fuji, the highest and most iconic peak in Japan, is an active volcano that is covered in snow almost year-round.

Best Things to Do in Mount Fuji
Beyond the summit, there is a vast array of engaging explorations you can do around Mount Fuji as follows:
1. Soak in the Beauty of Kawaguchiko Lake
Located at the base of Mount Fuji, Kawaguchiko Lake boasts a breathtaking snow-capped scenery that allows visitors to catch the greatest glory of Mount Fuji from up close. For the best viewing experience, consider visiting early in the morning, before 9 a.m., to avoid obstruction from hazy clouds.
As pointed out by Japan Guide, the best views of Mount Fuji are easily accessible from the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko, especially during the cherry blossom season in mid-April or in the fall in the first half of November.
2. Have Some Respite at Shiraito Falls
One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Japan, Shiraito Falls takes its name from the Japanese phrase "hanging silk threads," thanks to the 20-meter-thin white streams that flow through the volcano's spring water. Surrounded by green foliage, tourists flock here in the summer and fall seasons, where the natural wonders add to the perfect backdrop. .
3. Enjoy a Colorful Day at Yamanakako Hanano Miyako Koen
Covering an area of over 300,000 square meters, Yamanakako Hanano Miyako Koen is a vast flower garden that presents various flowers from one season to another. Due to its nature of displaying seasonal flowers, it's always a great time to visit the stunning space as there will always be flowers blooming regardless of the season.
4. Visit Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park
Fuji-Hakone-Izu, one of Japan's most visited national parks, offers diverse landscapes ranging from fascinating caves, mysterious forests, and rugged coastlines to scenic lakes. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, this majestic paradise offers several types of interesting activities. Whether you want to hike, bike, or even snorkel along the breathtaking coastline of the Izu Peninsula, the area has something for everyone.
5. Savor the Serene Atmosphere from Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine
Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine was often used as a starting point for a hike up Mount Fuji before climbers began to transfer to the 5th station of the Fuji Subaru Line.
