Mt Fuji Aokigahara Forest Adventure Hiking Tour
Description
A once-in-a-lifetime nature walk through Aokigahara Forest. Step into a side of Mt Fuji that feels personal, peaceful, and memorable. Explore Japan’s most famous forest, grown across ancient lava where trees twist over rock and the outside world seems to fade away. Discover how this forest formed and the life that exists within it. Feel the power and beauty of nature, and perhaps sense some of its mystery too. During the first half of the walk, your guide shares commentary that brings the geology, history, and natural world of this landscape to life. The second half becomes quieter, giving you time to walk at an easy pace and be with your own thoughts in a forest where nature, history, and legend come alive. Example Tour 09:00 Meet at NaturaBase 09:20 Arrive at the forest entrance and walk along a quiet trail into Aokigahara 10:40 Visit a hidden cave deep in the forest and continue exploring the lava landscape 12:30 Return from the forest and drop off back at NaturaBase

Itinerary
Located at the base of Mount Fuji, Aokigahara Forest—also known as the Sea of Trees—is a calm, green escape shaped by old lava flows and thick mossy ground. The forest feels quiet and peaceful, with shaded trails and unique volcanic scenery along the way. The tour also includes Dragon Cave (Ryūgū Cave), a natural lava cave formed by past eruptions. With its cool air, textured rock walls, and ties to local legends, the cave adds a simple touch of adventure and history to your walk through the forest.

A beautiful hike, the forest is amazing and so peaceful. The best part, after the hike our guide CJ took us to a truly spectacular viewing point to see Fuji, the forest below and Lake Seiko.

The walk was very pleasant and the trail wasn't very hard. We were able to see places that only locals knows of. Our guide told us many interesting informations about forest and it's history.

This was such a peaceful place and great experience. Grahame was very knowledgeable about the history and things that make this forest so special. I felt really grounded and fortunate to have been able to experience the Jukai and share this space.
It was a real pleasure showing you around this beautiful area and introducing you to Aokigahara Forest. It is definitely not your average forest, and I am really glad you picked up on the special atmosphere there. Some places are not just seen, they are felt, and Aokigahara is one of them. Thank you again for joining us. Cheers, Grahame
