This summer, how about visiting Mt. Fuji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site?
The climbing season for Mt. Fuji begins in early July, with the best time to visit from late July to mid-August following the rainy season.

Consider stopping by Oshino Hakkai, too. There are eight different springs in Oshino Hakkai. It has been registered as a natural monument in 1934, and as one of Japan's famous one hundred springs in 1985.

Yoshida udon noodles, a local cuisine of Fujiyoshida City, is famous for its chewy noodles, a generous topping of horsemeat, and boiled cabbage.
Those climbing Mt. Fuji should try the Mt. Fuji Melon Bread sold at Amanoya, a bakery inside the rest house at the 5th Station. The majestic mountain inspired the bread's shape and will look great on Instagram!

Why not enjoy a walk in Tokyo wearing a kimono? Countless kimono rental stores are near Sensoji Temple, a popular sightseeing spot in Tokyo's Asakusa district. Strolling around Sensoji Temple in traditional attire while experiencing the history of the land will make an unforgettable memory.

We recommend visiting the Nakamise Shotengai (shopping district).
