At 321 meters above sea level, it offers panoramic views of Mt. Fuji, the Pacific coastline, the Izu Islands, and the Amagi Mountains. You can reach the summit in just 5 minutes via the open-air chairlift from the base. It’s a scenic and relaxing ride, great for families or those short on time. Many visitors take the chairlift up including myself when I went there on a date. The hike around the rim is much better imo.
