Japan Bullet Trains (Shinkansen)
If you travel around Japan, it is recommended that you travel with trains. It is very convenient as most of the cities such as Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto are connected by a network of high speed train lines. The high speed train network consists of
1. Tokaido Shinkansen
2. Sanyo Shinkansen
3. Tohoku Shinkansen
4. Joestu Shinkansen
5. Nagano Shinkansen
6. Kyushu Shinkansen
7. Yamagata Shinkansen
8. Akita Shinkansen
Japan high speed trains (bullet trains) which are called as Shinkansen (新幹線), are operated by Japan Railways (JR). They will bring you to your destination very fast with the speed up to 320km/h. You can enjoy the view outside the window by sitting on the comfortable and spacious seat.
If you plan to travel between cities as well as within the cities, you are recommended to get a Japan Rail Pass. Let see how you could save cost using the pass. For example, if you would like to visit Tokyo and Osaka.
From Narita Airport to Tokyo
Cost: 18060 yen + 3220 yen (Surcharge) = 21280 yen
From Tokyo to Osaka
Cost: 13750 yen Total cost: 21280 yen + 13750 yen = 35030 yen
35030 yen is not including the cost for you to travel to hotel and popular spots. Could you imagine how much would you spend for transportation? If you get Ordinary 7 days pass, it only cost you 28300 yen. You would save 50% of your transportation cost and get unlimited travel.
If you decided to get the Japan Rail Pass, you must buy before your arrival to Japan. The pass is not available for sale inside Japan.

Mount Fuji (Fujisan)
Mount Fuji is 3776 meters, the highest mountain in Japan. It is located on Honshu, the main Island of Japan, stands on the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka. It is also known as Fujisan (富士山), which has become the most popular icon of Japan for both tourist and culture.
Mount Fuji is about 100 kilometers south-west of Tokyo and is visible from Tokyo on sunny days. You can access to Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building or Tokyo Tower to view it
from observation decks. Another alternative is to view it from the train (Tokaido Shinkansen Line) when
you are travelling between Tokyo and Osaka.
You can go to the recommended places to enjoy the best view of Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji has ten stations with the first station is the foot of the mountain and tenth station is the summit. Most people start climbing from the fifth station which is half way up to summit.
There are four routes from the fifth station. The stations on different routes are at different elevations. The highest fifth station is located at Fujinomiya, followed by Kawaguchi, Subashiri, and Gotemba. The Kawaguchiko route is the most popular route because it has large parking area, a lot of mountain huts for climbers to rest, and the sun rises on this side of mountain.
You can take Fujikyu or Keio buses to fifth stations.
