The Shinkansen journey between Tokyo and Shin-Fuji offers a direct and often spectacular view of Mount Fuji. To maximize this visual experience, we advise travelers to sit on the right side of the train (E side) when heading from Tokyo to Shin-Fuji. The sacred peak typically appears a few minutes before arrival at Shin-Fuji Station, which is ideally located for this observation. Shin-Fuji is a relatively small station, built specifically to serve the region at the foot of Mount Fuji, making it a strategic access point for visitors wishing to explore the surroundings.
