Major city · Japan
Fujinomiya富士宮
One day is enough for the main sights – Sengen Taisha, Shiraito Waterfalls and Lake Tanuki – plus a quick dip at Hana no yu.
Fujinomiya sits on the southwestern flank of Mount Fuji and is reachable from Tokyo in about two hours by Shinkansen‑Kodama, then local trains. Its attractions cluster around the station, making a half‑day to full‑day visit feasible. Overnight stays are optional for relaxed spa time.
