As I’ve mentioned on the top page, I’m introducing recommended places and spots in Japan, but I don’t like crowds and I prefer to avoid such places and spend time in peace if possible, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to introduce popular places, but I’ll try my best to introduce quiet places as well and if I do go to popular places, I’ll introduce them.
I’ve heard people from overseas say that Japanese people are the kind of people who like to line up. That may be true, but I’ll be honest with you, even Japanese people are different.(´・ω・)
No matter how much I want to eat at a ramen restaurant, if there is a line, I will skip that place and go to another restaurant.
The reason I created the “Place” category on this site is because I want to be able to introduce restaurants that I often go to even outside of tourist spots, as well as places that I would definitely recommend you visit if you come to Japan. So, if I’m introducing a restaurant, I’ll first introduce the food in “Food”, and then provide information about the location and other information about the restaurant in the “Place” section.

So, first of all, I thought about what place represents Japan・・・
I thought it would be Mount Fuji after all, but I have never climbed it and have no plans to do so at the moment, so I will introduce it in the “Places” category and introduce it if I ever get the chance to climb Mount Fuji.

Mount Fuji(富士山) was apparently called 「福慈岳（ふくじのだけ）”Fukujinodake,”」「不二山（ふじさん）”Fuji san,”」「不尽山（ふじんざん）”Fujinzan,”」「不死山（ふじやま）”Fujiyama,”」「富慈山（ふじさん）”Fujisan.”」

The straight-line distance from which Mt. Fuji can be seen varies depending on the location.
The straight-line distance from Myohozan in Nachikatsuura Town, Wakayama Prefecture to Mount Fuji is approximately 322.6 km, and it is said to be the place from which Mount Fuji can be seen from the furthest distance.
The straight-line distance from Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture to Mount Fuji is approximately 29 km.
The straight-line distance from Utsukushigahara in Nagano Prefecture to Mount Fuji is approximately 110 km.
The straight-line distance from Noda City, Chiba Prefecture to Mount Fuji is approximately 120 km.
The straight-line distance from Tateyama, Chiba Prefecture to Mount Fuji is approximately 110 km.
The straight-line distance from Toba, Mie Prefecture to Mount Fuji is approximately 193 km.

Whether or not you can see Mount Fuji depends on weather conditions and various other factors, but it is best seen in winter when the air is clear.

They appear suddenly while driving.
The closer I got, the more it appeared to me like a living thing.
Mount Fuji covered in snow looks indescribably powerful, but I’m sure people who live nearby are used to seeing it.

We will slowly introduce other places, so please be patient.
