Witness the glory of the tallest mountain in Japan. Mount Fuji has been appreciated by many people, Japanese and overseas tourists alike, for ages, and became a World Heritage Site in 2013. If weather permits, the tour will head to the mountain's fifth station by bus to experience the impressive view from the base of the mountain.
