Fujisan Museum

Must visit to understand how Mt Fuji was formed and why people climb it. Tickets are 400 yen for adults and you can rent an audio device for free. Make sure to do the VR at the entrance before heading in. Inside, there’s a Mt Fuji model with light show and it’s on the hour and thereafter every 20 mins. If you’re driving there, seems you can only park at the park opposite. But you can walk to it via an underpass and it’s wheelchair accessible.

A wonderful little stop, on our way back to Tokyo. We visited this beautiful museum, portraying the challenges, festivals, and ancestral life around Mt Fuji. Well orchestrated.

Last week we visited the Mt. Fuji Museum with my family. It was very interesting to see the history and mysticism that surrounds Fuji. They have displays that show how going to the top of the mountain has been a religious experience for centuries. The museum itself was small but very informative. I never had an interest to hike to the top... but after going to the museum, I just may do it. To top it off... the best part of the museum was the breathtaking view. I would definitely recommend this museum to anyone who happens to be in the area.

There is no many history about Fuji. They basically mention about the fire festival, etc. I was expecting more to be Fujisan Museum

So worth it for 400 Yen. Definitely recommend for anyone to visit prior to Mt Fuji hike to get an appreciation of the history and ritual of the mountain. The VR movie is not to be missed. They have free audio headsets in English, Chinese and Thai.
