Geezus…this will cure my fear of height forever. Check out activities at Mount Fuji here.

Micro flying, i’ve always wanted to try you. I saw you on TV and the sense of euphoria you leave people after they’re done with you. I bet trying you out around Mount Fuji, one of the most beautiful places in the world, would be excellent.

There is a picturesque resort at the foot of the infamous Mount Fuji. The Fuji Five Lakes (富士五湖, Fuji goko) are located in an arc around the northern half of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. They are:

* Lake Kawaguchi (Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi)
* Lake Motosu (Kamikuishiki, Yamanashi)
* West Lake (Saiko, Yamanashi)
* Lake Shoji (Kamikuishiki, Yamanashi)
* Lake Yamanaka (Yamanakako, Yamanashi)

All five feature beautiful views of the mountain, especially in the spring and autumn, when the snow partially covers the peak. These lakes are in the countryside, and many resorts offer camping, boating, fishing, and similar rustic recreation. The comforts of civilization are also available.

Apart from the obvious activity, that is climbing mount Fuji, hiking, camping and fishing, you can also visit Sengen Shrine; an important shrine in the area dedicated to Princess Konohanasakuya, the Shinto deity of Mount Fuji.

This place is one of the most picturesque spots in Japan, it is definitely worth the visit. The resort provides several accommodation options for visitors to visit - camping is of course not the only form of accommodation at the Fuji Five Lakes.

Mount Fuji (富士山, Fuji-san) is the tallest mountain in Japan. It straddles the boundary of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures just west of Tokyo, from where it can be seen on a clear day. It is located near the Pacific coast of central Honshū. Three small cities surround it, they are: Gotemba (East), Fuji-Yoshida (North) and Fujinomiya (Southwest). Mount Fuji maintains a snow cap year round even though it is in a temperate climate zone.

Mount Fuji is a well-known symbol of Japan and is frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers. Mount Fuji is a dormant volcano, which most recently erupted in 1708.

If you want to enjoy Mount Fuji at a more leisurely pace and from a nice natural surrounding, you should head to the Fuji Five Lake (Fujigoko) region at the northern foot of the mountain, or to Hakone, a nearby hot spring resort.

Mount Fuji is officially open for climbing during July and August via several routes.
