Forest clad mountains of The Japan Alps, Mt Fuji and Hokkaido Island should present themselves in their peak of red, gold and yellow autumn foliage. Experience a walk in the eerie, reputedly haunted, dense forest at the foot of Mt Fuji where lava tubes and sink holes, covered by a mesh of roots, all add credibility to the legends of lost souls.
