Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi and Hakone Classics
See Mount Fuji and the Chureito Pagoda at Lake Kawaguchi, then go via Gotemba to Hakone for the full loop; ideal for first-time visitors.
The most common two-base route for first-timers: on day 1, view Mount Fuji from the north shore of Lake Kawaguchi and Mount Arakura. On day 2, see the reflections at Oishi Park in the early morning, then take buses via Gotemba on to Hakone. On day 3, do the Hakone loop by mountain railway, cable car and pirate ship, and leave from Odawara. The pace is tight, but you change lodging only once; Oshino Hakkai and the Fifth Station are left for longer trips.
Winter and spring have the clearest air and best views of Mount Fuji; in summer, cloud often hides the summit.
