Paths Less Travelled
A Fuji tour often conjures images of crowded viewpoints and iconic lakes Yet the true essence of the mountain reveals itself on its secluded trails Trek through the ancient Aokigahara Sea of Trees at its base where roots grip volcanic rock in silent stillness or find the secluded Shiraito Falls where delicate threads of water cascade like white silk These quiet corners offer a dialogue with Fuji’s spirit far from the well-trodden tourist circuit inviting a personal connection felt rather than photographed
