When you go and visit Japan, there are certain locations and landmarks that should be included in your travel itinerary. These are the indelible locations that define the whole trip to another country. If going to France means having to go to see the Eiffel Tower, then its equivalent in Japan would be a visit to see Mt. Fuji.

Mt. Fuji has become the de facto representation of Japan. The near symmetrical volcano that last erupted in the 18th century has significant importance to all Japanese. Visiting the mountain is not going to be a problem though because there are many hotels in the area. There are even some hotels that afford you with wonderful views of Mt. Fuji. Here are five of those hotels.
