The Shinkansen journey between Shin-Fuji and Shizuoka offers a notable geographical peculiarity. Shin-Fuji Station was strategically positioned to provide travelers with a direct and often unobstructed view of Mount Fuji from the platforms and trains. When heading towards Shizuoka (westbound), we recommend sitting on the right side of the Shinkansen to maximize your chances of seeing the majestic silhouette of Mount Fuji shortly after departure. This perspective is considered one of the most direct and iconic views from the Tokaido Shinkansen line.
