Fuji Panorama Resort manages most of 1,955-meter Mount Nyukasa, and has turned the upper half into a theme-park version of the outdoors. Visitors can enjoy 150 varieties of wildflower (and hosts of butterflies and bees) in the gardens; see more than 1 million lilies of the valley blooming in June; hike on boardwalked trails; take paragliding lessons; and ride in a “top-class mountain bike kingdom” (as the rent-a-bike pamphlet boasts).
