Good to know
- Mount Fuji is often hidden by cloud. Early morning in the colder months gives the best chance of a clear view.
- Takayama, Shirakawa-go and Kanazawa sit close together and are often visited on one route.
- Mountain roads and some alpine routes close in winter, so check opening dates before you go.
