Itinerary
Kick off your adventure with a scenic drive from Tokyo to Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak and an active volcano. Enjoy a comfortable air-conditioned ride, escorted by an expert guide. As you ascend towards the iconic mountain, stop at the 5th Station, nestled halfway up. Here, marvel at the awe-inspiring views of the countryside and feel the majestic beauty of Mount Fuji from a close distance. (visit: Apr.26th-Nov.30th)
If you embark on this tour anytime between December and April, visit Arakurayama Sengen Park. This internet sensation spot is known as one of the ‘21 places photographers all over the world must visit before they die.’ Here, climb up 397 steps and view the 5-story Chureito Pagoda, a sight not to be missed.
Post Mount Fuji, immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Oshino Hakkai. Visit the sacred series of 8 ponds filled with crystal-clear water sourced from Mount Fuji's melting snow. The purity of this water is renowned, deemed one of the best in Japan, and used in sacred Shinto rituals.
Make a choice between indulging in a traditional Japanese Onsen (hot spring) or retail therapy at a buzzing outlet mall. If you choose the hot spring bath, we offer transportation services to the newly opened "Kinohana no Yu" hot spring facility, which began operations at the end of 2019. The hot spring’s name is derived from the goddess "Konohanasakuyahime," who is enshrined at Mount Fuji and Fuji Asama Shrine. The facility features an overwhelming view of Mount Fuji and high-quality hot springs from its own source, allowing you to enjoy a large open-air bath while gazing at Mount Fuji. Bathing fees are approximately: 1900JPY If the facility is closed, we will substitute with Gotemba Fuji Hakkei (ticket: 1000 JPY) or Gotemba City Onsen Association( ticket: 500 JPY). The hot spring Kinohanano-yu 「木の花の湯」permits entry for guests with tattoos, whereas other hot springs do not allow it.

This was a great itinerary for a Mt Fuji tour! Got to see Fuji in all her glory! The weather was perfect. Our guide Jack was great and helpful! Our bus ended up breaking down and we needed to spend more time at the 5th Station on Mt Fuji which we had NO complaints about. Jack tried to assure us that another bus was coming and we could carry on with the rest of the tour. The rest of the tour was a bit rush considering the delay but overall a good trip!
We love our Guide Anna! She is so enthusiastic and so much fun! She gave us history and local recommendations. I would definitely recommend her and come back to visit her! 10 stars all the way around!
Anna our guide did a nice job…did the Japanese Onsen as my option instead of shopping. It was a very relaxing experience…it was great that when we went up to Mt. Fuji 5th, it was clear view for the duration that we were up there.
Great guide Anna Very much info along the way, with good food and recommendations Very good arrangement, recommend on the strongest
Christie has great energy and was extremely helpful. We had a beautiful, clear day to see Mt. Fuji and the onsen was a great experience.
The tour guide was very friendly but also very chaotic. She spent some time to tell us about herself and why we should buy lunch through her company. Zero information about Japan and what we saw. Unfortunately our tour was on Sunday. The traffic was horrible. The length of the tour according to description was 10 hours. We spent more than 12 hours. Of course this is not guide's fault but she should plan accordingly so we end the tour after 10 hours. Especially that she mentioned that company's policy allows max 10 hours. People have plans and flights to catch. Our last stop lasted 10 minutes. We run to the center of a cute village, took few pictures and literally 10 minutes later run back to the bus. She didn't say a word about this place. I still don't know what we visited. Maybe during the week the situation on the road is better, but we had very bad experience. We pay for a tour and tour guide to learn something about a place we visit . Not this time
Anna is very knowledgeable of the places and very friendly. She is also very funny. We enjoyed the trip a lot.
My guide, Anna is happy, friendly, is this was my best trip in my all travel. Fuji Mountain is one of the most beatiutifull atractions os Japan.
We didn't see Mount Fuji but our tour guide was excellent and we visited other places, ending with the Gotemba Outlet.
Guide Anna was friendly and helpful! We got lucky and saw the mountain! 🥰 Went shopping at the outlets.
