Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park

Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park contains a diverse range of natural beauties, and the various landscapes are breathtaking to explore. The famous Mount Fuji, which is so distinctive in look, is the major lure, and while it is not the only reason it is Japan's most visited national park, it surely helps. The park boasts over a thousand volcanic islands scattered along its beaches, and exquisite streams caress their way through the area's slopes, hills, and valleys.

Lakes and hot springs abound, as do the cherry blossom trees that define its settings. Waterfalls abound, as are historic woods that grew in old lava fields that formerly burned their way down the volcanoes' slopes. Bring your camera; you'll need it to capture all of the breathtaking vistas. It is really incredible to visit.
