FAQ
Common questions
What is the most popular Mount Fuji souvenir?
Shingen mochi from Kikyoya is the classic regional sweet. For non-edible gifts, Fuji-shaped sake cups (called 'kiriko') are the most recognisable.
Where can I buy Mount Fuji souvenirs in Tokyo?
Tokyo Station Ichibangai has dedicated Yamanashi and Shizuoka shops. Haneda Terminal 3 has Fuji-themed counters open until late.
Are Mount Fuji souvenirs cheaper at the airport?
Usually not. Prices at the source (Kawaguchiko, Gotemba) match or beat airport prices, and the selection is wider.
Can I bring Fuji food souvenirs through customs?
Sealed sweets, cookies and tea are fine for most destinations. Meat-based snacks (jerky, broth) are restricted to many countries including the US and EU.
