Best time to visit Keio One-Day Ticket
The mountain is spectacular year-round, but autumn from mid-November to early December offers the most breathtaking foliage, while spring brings beautiful cherry blossoms. To beat the crowds and secure the best views of Mt. Fuji, aim to arrive at the cable car station right when it opens at eight in the morning.
How long to spend
Allocate at least five to six hours to fully enjoy the cable car ride, summit hike, Monkey Park, and a relaxing onsen session. If you are short on time, prioritize the round-trip chair lift and a quick visit to the summit observation deck for the best views, which can be done in about three hours.
