The Best Places to Take Pictures of the Iconic Mt. Fuji

By on September 18, 2024

During the booking process for our trip to Japan, we planned to visit the iconic Mt. Fuji as the first tourist attraction to be visited but since arriving in Osaka, we have preferred Nara Park and nearby attractrions in the area. When we moved to Tokyo five days later, we favored visiting Mt Fuji, which is only an hour drive away from Tokyo to Chureito Pagoda Arakura Sengen Park in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, it was our primary objective anyway.

Although Japan has countless beautiful attractions, time is a prime factor that you may need to pick the best to be your first priority however, when we had our objectives met, the highlight of each day tour was the landmarks in and around Japan.

 The tallest peak in Japan, Mount Fuji, is well-known for its volcanic cone. I have taken pictures of Mount Fuji in various locations throughout Japan. It never ceases to be breathtaking and amazing from any viewpoint, even in the winter. However, it is not always visible because the clouds can sometimes obscure the view, we were fortunate on the day we visited, it was clearly visible.

Are you looking for the best spot to photograph Mt. Fuji? I will give you the best recommendations on the best places to capture the beauty of Mt. Fuji. Let me show you some photos of the Iconic Mt. Fuji taken from various locations throughout Japan.

Remarkable Pictures of Mt. Fuji Captured in Various Locations

Note:The main purpose of this blog is to share the best locations for photographing the Iconic Mt. Fuji.

Chureito Pagoda

(Perched atop a hill in Yamanashi Prefecture’s Arakurayama Sengen Park stands the five-story Chureito Pagoda)

This is the first location when I first captured the view of Mt. Fuji when we visited this pagoda. To get to the observation deck, we had to ascend 398 steps, which may seem challenging, but it was quite easy because it is winter, and the cold motivates me to succeed.

It was increasingly enjoyable to capture photos up there and climbing is worthwhile. Efforts pay off as it gets progressively better.

Fujiten Snow Resort

(Fujisan, Narusawa-Mura, Minamitsuru-Gun, Yamanashi-Ken)

Located in the Fuji Five Lakes region, Fujiten Snow Resort is a small ski resort at the northern foot of Mount Fuji. Just right in front of Mt. Fuji.

On a clear winter, the views are jaw dropping. This is the full panoramic view of Mt. Fuji against a snowy landscape, a stunning wide postcard style of Mt. Fuji captured from the observation deck.

Lake Kamaguchiko

(Yamanashi Prefecture)

Lake Kawaguchiko is the main entry point to this well-known lake, the most popular of the Fuji Five Lakes. Among the greatest locations for close-up photos of Mount Fuji, the breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji amid a landscape of water.

I also managed to get different perspectives of the mountain set against different backdrops. Additionally, the famous viewpoint with the lake in the background is the best place to take photos of Mount Fuji. Observing the ducks and their ducklings swim on water is an additional wonderful experience as well as the stunning birds that circle and wade in the sky is another amazing sight.

Every location I’ve seen and experienced in Japan. It is among the greatest locations and a top pick because it is nice and clean, safe, cozy, and serenely quiet. It should come as no surprise that a lot of tourists travel to Japan, there are just too many things to do and places to explore.

Everyday will be a different story, you’ll find an exotic charm and unexpected surprises for the visitors. We made sure to visit every destination on our itinerary, and it was rewarding to see each one in all its glory. We had a fantastic time and came home with a ton of great memories from the trip.
