It consists of Mount Fuji, Fuji Five Lakes, Hakone, the Izu Peninsula, and the Izu Islands. Rather than being a specific spot, its a collection of dispersed tourist sites that dot the region. The farthest point south, the isle of Aogashima, is several hundred kilometers from Mt. Fuji. It was established in February 2, 1936 as Fuji-Hakone NP as has coalesced into what it is today. It is the most visited NP in all Japan.

Nearby cities include Odawara, Fuji, Minami Ashigara, and Numazu.
