I'm bringing back an old thread for the sake of having information spread all over.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Japan later this month and thinking of a stay down in the Mt. Fuji area. Expect to be there around 26 and 27 of March. Was thinking to take a train from Tokyo on 26 and then a train back to Tokyo the following day to catch the Nozomi to Hiroshima.

Is it better to stay in the Hakone, Lake Ashi, or Laka Kawaguchi? We will have our 9 month old with us and really just wanted to go, relax, possibly enjoy the view and then carry on with our journey.

thanks to let me know of any preferences people have.

We will be spending 3 days in Tokyo prior to this, then 2 days in Hiroshima before going to Kyoto for 2.5 days and spend our final day in Osaka before flying out late at night. We won't have jetlag to contend with as we live in the region.
