Experience the breathtaking beauty of Japan’s most iconic landmark aboard the Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway. The Mount Fuji Panoramic Ropeway ascends 400 meters from the eastern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko to an observation deck near the peak of Mount Tenjo Yama. From the observation deck, which is situated over 1,000 meters above sea level, you can enjoy panoramic views of Lake Kawaguchi and Mount Fuji.

30 min

Discover the magic of Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park, a stunning mountaintop retreat that offers breathtaking panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. In addition to its spectacular views, the park is rich in folklore and entertainment. Enjoy activities such as a scenic swing, clay disc throwing, and a small snack shop. Don't forget to pay your respects at the Usagi-jinja, also known as the Rabbit Shrine, before visiting the playful raccoon-themed café.

30 min

Oishi Park is a beautiful scenic area where you can enjoy a stunning view of flowers, Lake Kawaguchi, and the majestic Mt. Fuji all at once. The lakeside promenade features various flowers that bloom according to the season. On the west side of the park, the "350-meter-long Flowers Road" offers a vibrant display of colorful blooms throughout the year. At the end of Flowers Road, you'll find Kochia (summer cypress) that flourishes from summer to autumn, making it a popular photo spot. Throughout the year, the park showcases 90 different types of seasonal flowers, with various blooms visible at any given time. As you stroll along the promenade surrounded by flowers and gazing at Mt. Fuji, you'll feel a sense of tranquility.

15 min

On the second floor of the Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center, you will find a unique perspective where you can easily capture the magnificent picture of the red torii blending with Mount Fuji.

Oshino Hakkai is a village known for its eight clear spring water ponds, which are recognized as one of the "Top 100 Famous Waters of Japan." It is classified as a Natural Monument and is part of the Mount Fuji World Heritage Site. The eight ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji. As the water filters down through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, it results in exceptionally clear spring water that the locals deeply value. Visitors can taste this magical spring water for free, feel its sweetness and purity, and experience the legend of longevity.

45 min

Famous park in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. It's known as one of the 21 places that photographers from all over the world must visit in their lifetime. The Chureito Pagoda is a five-storied pagoda on the mountainside overlooking Fujiyoshida City and Mount Fuji. To reach the pagoda, visitors must climb nearly 400 steps, but the panoramic view from the top is considered one of the best in Japan.

15 min

The shrine was built in 705 and has served as the guardian god of Arakura Village for over 1,300 years. It is a sacred place of worship where people seek protection against bad luck, promote harmony within their households, and pray for safe childbirth and successful child-rearing.

Do not go during rainy season!

Where do I begin? This tour started off rough when the tour leader caught an attitude with me after showing up to the excursion 3 minutes late. She lacks cultural awareness. She then got on the bus throughout her conversation mentioning time and how it is perceived in different cultures. Generalizing her comments with a micro aggression undertone. This wouldn’t bother me so much if I didn’t just waste 10 hours of my PTO for a useless tour. We are currently in the village with nothing to do but look at each other. Attempted to visit a garden that was raining the entire time. Tours like this are money hungry and should be closed when the season don’t provide the same experience it would be in the fall. Now I have to held against my will until this dreaded tour is over. This company is learn customer service better and to treat everyone the same. I not only wasted my hard earn money for this tour but they suggest a lunch spot in which we didn’t like the food. More money wasted. I do not recommend this tour during the raining season at all. Can’t wait to get off this bus!

Stressful Start, Incredible Mount Fuji Tour

The beginning of our trip was a bit stressful. Even though we arrived early, navigating Shinjuku Station and finding the pickup location was overwhelming. I highly recommend doing a trial run to the meeting point before your tour. Once we got started, the rest of the Mount Fuji tour was excellent! Our guide, Sandy, was very informative, organized, and took us to the best viewpoints. He also helped us find the perfect spots for amazing Mount Fuji photos. Overall, it was a wonderful experience despite the stressful start
