The unmistakable Mount Fuji, or as the locals call it, Fuji-San. This is pictured from the popular town of Kawaguchi-ko, situated on one of the five lakes of Fuji Go-ko. Amazingly the fastest and cheapest way to get to Fuji-San is not by train, although you can glimpse an ace view of it while travelling on the Shinkansen between Tokyo and Kyoto.

No, the best way is to catch a bus from Shinjuku in Tokyo, which will bring you directly to Kawaguchi-ko in just less than two hours for around £10 each way! The Shinjuku long-distance bus station is also located right next to Yodobashi camera, one of the biggest photographic stores in the world!
