A drive-through park at the foot of Mount Fuji — bears close enough to touch the car, a lion pressed against the mesh, and a misty view of Fuji itself from the hilltop overlook.

An Afternoon at Rakuju-en Park

A Meiji-era garden built across a lava flow from Mount Fuji, a spring-fed pond, and a slow winter walk through Mishima's park next to the station.
