Plan your Itchiku Museum visit
Allow 1h for the visit, then add the journey.

Plan the approach
Plan the last connection to the lake or ryokan before choosing rooms. A view allowance at a terrace or pass does not include the approach. Check road, shuttle and weather conditions for the precise viewpoint. [3]
MAKE IT YOUR TRIP

Choose what fits your day
Build around the lake and one viewpoint, with the Itchiku Museum or an onsen stay as an alternative when the mountain is hidden. A scenic visit is separate from climbing Mount Fuji.
