Lake Yamanaka is the biggest of the Fuji Five Lakes. Most tourists are more familiar with Lake Kawaguchi, so there are fewer people here. But if you want to enjoy the best views of Mt. Fuji, this lake is actually the closest.

Hitoyoshi Onsen
This hot spring area emerges across a wide stretch from Itsukamachi to Onsenmachi in Hitoyoshi City, with Approx. 50 spring sources distributed throughout the area.
Hitoyoshi Onsen has a quiet, nostalgic charm. The hot spring water feels soft and soothing, and when you soak in it, it’s as if time slows down.

Fukidashi Park (Fukidashi Koen)
Fukidashi Park is a serene spot where rain and snow from Mount Yotei filter through the earth over many years, emerging as a spring of renowned water. This natural bounty, rich in minerals, can be freely drawn from various spring points within the park.
The coffee made with spring water from Mount Yotei is rich and delicious.

SAPHIR ODORIKO
This express sightseeing train runs the route from Tokyo/Shinjuku down to Izukyu-Shimoda. The name Saphir comes from the word Sapphire, and points to the gorgeous blue sea and skies as they zip by. The Saphir ODORIKO train itself has a blue wrap, hinting at the treasures that await on your gem of a trip.
This sightseeing train mainly runs along the Izu Peninsula. There are different types of seats and private compartments to choose from. The ride is fast and super smooth, so you can really enjoy the coastal views of Izu.
