Shizuoka

Shizuoka shares the border of Mt Fuji with Yamanashi Prefecture and there are plenty of spots to enjoy the great landscape. There are several man-made observation spots such as Izunokuni Panorama Park and Mishima Sky Walk. If you wish to capture the view of the mountain with bullet trains, Fuji River is the place, or with green tea field, visit Imamiya Tea Plantation. Along with Fuji Five Lakes in Yamanashi, Lake Tanuki is also a popular lake for outdoor activities with Mt Fuji view. As the prefecture sits along the coast, by the beach is also great place to see the mountain, such as in Miho no Matsubara. To capture the view of cherry blossoms and Mt.Fuji, Urui River must be the perfect spot.

Yamanashi

Another half of Mt Fuji is located in Yamanashi Prefecture and there are plentiful tourist attractions and viewing spots. Fuji Five Lakes (Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Yamanaka, Lake Sai, Lake Motosu and Shoji Shoji) is definitely worth to visit, as all five lakes offers different views of Mt Fuji. Oshino Hakkai is also located near these lakes. For the most iconic scenery, Chureito Pagoda is must-see spot. Also the splendid flower field next to the mountain can only be seen in spring time at Fuji Shibazakura Festival.
