5.00We were picked up at our hotel then taken to a great vista point by the lake to see Mt Fuji before going to the hiking area where we first checked out a lava cave, then hiked up to see a great view of the tallest mountains in Japan as well as a breathtaking view of Mt Fuji as well. The hike took about 2 hours round trip with a break at the top.
