No matter your fitness level or trekking style there’s a hiking route for you a train-ride from the bustling streets of Shinjuku and Shibuya.

"We all know about Mt Fuji"

Trust me, it looks a lot more beautiful from 10 or 20 kilometers away than it does when you're actually on that piece of volcanic rock. But if you have clear weather the view from there is pretty spectacular. But so is the view from the other places mentioned here which provide for much more pleasant hiking.
