A highly photogenic facility that explores Mt. Fuji’s appeal from many angles.
Mt. Fuji was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2013. Opened in 2017, this facility with its striking architecture is a place where you can learn more about Mt. Fuji, which has long been a symbol of Japan for its one-of-a-kind beauty.
Inside, there’s plenty to see, including “Climbing the Sacred Mountain,” where you walk up a 193-meter spiral slope from the 1st to 5th floors for a simulated climb of Mt. Fuji from the sea, as well as a theater with a 265-inch, 4K high-definition large screen showcasing beautiful Mt. Fuji footage. From its history and nature to its role in faith and as an artistic motif, the museum introduces Mt. Fuji’s appeal from many perspectives.
Inspired by “Upside-Down Fuji,” the exhibition building uses locally produced wood, including Fuji hinoki, for its exterior latticework, and when reflected in the water basin in front, it forms a stunning cone shape just like the real Mt. Fuji. Nearby stands the first torii gate of Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, making photo-worthy spots everywhere. You can enjoy views of Mt. Fuji from the rooftop terrace and cafe, but the standout is the panoramic view from the top-floor observation hall, where the square window frame feels like a screen or canvas.

Some reviews are AI-translated.
The architecture itself is super eye-catching—you can tell right away this is a place to check out Mt. Fuji. The exterior is great for photos.
Inside, it’s mostly about Mt. Fuji’s history and culture, and why it was listed as a World Heritage site, not just a spot to look at the scenery. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed, and it’s better if you take your time.
You can also see Mt. Fuji from the rooftop. If the weather’s good, it really makes the visit.
Overall it’s more on the educational side, perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about Mt. Fuji.
The whole building is beautiful and really well designed. Inside, they use interactive exhibits to explain everything about Mt. Fuji—from geology and culture to religion—in a way that’s clear but not boring.
The coolest part is the “Inverted Fuji” ramp. Walking up it feels like you’re slowly “climbing” Mt. Fuji. When you reach the top and see the huge window view, on a clear day it’ll seriously stop you in your tracks—Mt. Fuji looks massive and stunning.
