Oshino Hakkai small Japanese old village in the Fuji Five Lake region, located between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako on the site of a former sixth lake that dried out several hundred years ago. The eight ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji that filters down the mountain through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, resulting in very clear spring water that is revered by the locals. You can drink natural fresh spring water coming out from MT Fuji. You can see very close view of Mt fuji from there is weather conditions is good
Oishi Park on the north shore of Kawaguchiko is a park with a superb view of lake and Mt.Fuji at once.
Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine is one of approximately 1,300 Asama shrines in Japan that enshrine the deity of volcanoes in general and Mount Fuji in particular. The shrine is part of the Mt. Fuji UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, designated in 2013. Asama shrines are dedicated to Konohanasakuya-hime (“cherry blossom princess”), the goddess of Mt. Fuji and all volcanoes in Japanese mythology. The vast majority of Asama shrines are within sight of Mt. Fuji; where this is not the case because of distance or obstructions, miniature replicas of Mt. Fuji made with rocks from the mountain are erected within the shrine grounds.
Yamanakako, the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes. Once known as the “Princess Odette”, the newly revamped sightseeing boat cruising Lake Yamanakako is now operating as “Swan Lake”. The entire boat is designed to resemble a swan, based on the idea of having “The most beautiful swan in Japan float across a premier spot at Mt. Fuji’s footsteps”
The Narusawa Hyoketsu Ice Cave is located at the east entrance to the Aokigahara Jukai "sea of trees" forest, and is regarded as one of the tourist spots within the Fuji Five Lakes area that can be visited throughout the year. Over 1150 years ago, during year 6 of the Jogan era (864 a.d.), Nagaoyama, a flank volcano of Mt. Fuji erupted. The red hot lava flow (Aokigahara Maruo) descended between ancient parasitic volcanoes, creating this two-tunnel type cave. After being designated by the Ministry of Education as a natural monument in 1929, it was introduced to the world as a geological wonder. By the way, the tree-type lava bed is said to have the most spiracles in the world. Entrance ticket not included
The Fuji Fugaku Wind Cave is surrounded by the abundant greenery of the Aokigahara Jukai forest. Once you enter the cave, it is pleasantly cool even in summer, with an average temperature of 3℃. Up until the beginning of the Showa era, it was used as a refrigerator to store the eggs of silkworms. The cave has also been designated as a Japanese natural monument. The lateral cave is 201m long and 8.7m high, and strangely enough, does not produce an audible echo. This is because its basaltic walls act to absorb the sound. In the course of a 15 minute sight-seeing tour, one can see lava shelves, rope-like lava, and ice pillars that do not melt even in summer.
At Saiko Iyashi no Sato Neba, a thatched-roof village that has been revived over a long period of time, while fully admiring the beautiful scenery of the four seasons and the majestic appearance of Mt. Fuji. Please enjoy a rich time with a good taste.

Our driver Jamil was amazing! He guided us through our day very well with great suggestions on what stops to choose from. Even though Mt Fuji was elusive today we had a great time. Thank you Jamil!
We visited the Mt. Fuji area on a private day tour with Jamil. He was a great guide. He gave us good advice as to the time of morning to leave, which paid off in that we avoided huge crowds and were able to get good views of Mt. Fuji before the daily clouds rolled in. He was also good with helping us weigh the different options for what to choose for our day, and he even took us to a great lunch spot that accommodated both my and my husband’s different food preferences. Highly recommend!
The travel guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. He suggested that we leave at 5:30AM so we can actually see Mount Fuji and less time sitting in traffic. The later you go, the clouds move in and you cannot see it. He was right! So glad we were on the road early in the AM. It was a beautiful day and so glad we were able to see Mount Fuji and take photos. Later, on the tour, we hiked up 450ish flights and saw a pagoda which was tiring but worth the view. By this time, the clouds covered Mount Fuji, but the view was nice. We also modified our tour as we had an elderly person with us and went to the Premium Outlet mall around Mount Fuji. It was a large mall and wished we had more time to walk around the mall. Thank you to our driver. He was a great guide.
The tour to Mount Fuji was a great experience. It offered great photo opportunities, a little bit of walking/ hiking and options for great food. Our tour guide was great and let us customize our times at each spot.
Jamil was fantastic! He came early and was super communicative. We were met with low visibility and some rain- he adjusted the itinerary to make the most of what we could do/see. He was so thoughtful! We were gone about 8 hours total which was about the threshold for the kids.
It was a great experience. Very professional and organized. Unfortunately we did not see Mount Fuji because it was covered in fog, but we learned so much from our Guide.
I am so glad I booked this private tour. It took the guess work out of everything. Jamil was excellent at communicating. We were picked up in Tokyo and were on our way.
This is an excellent way to see Mt. Fuji and the surrounding areas. Rana, our guide, is very knowledgeable of the area and customized the experience for us. He encouraged us to get an early start which allowed us to avoid the usual crowds. That alone made for a peaceful day. The effort that Rana put into the planning gave us enough time at every stop, and he was very helpful taking pictures of us. Overall, Rana gave us a wonderful and memorable day.
We enjoyed, cause we went on our own pace
Jamil was an outstanding driver and guide, providing insight, flexibility, and expertise on the Mt Fuji tour. Also, when we shared that shopping was another goal for our overall visit to Japan, he suggested an outlet mall not far and we were able to add it to our itinerary. Yes, there was an additional trip fee but that was expected and worth it for us. Can’t say enough how well the visit went, even though Mt Fuji visibility was not great, clouds hid the peak. We highly recommend reserving this day trip, especially if Jamil is your guide. Our visit locations: 1) Arakurayama Shrine 2) Lake Kawaguchi 3) Herb Gardens & Souvenir Shop 4) Oshino Hakkai village Jamil gave us flexibility on prioritizing our trip to take advantage of what the visibility allowed, but the weather was actually wonderful, just no Mt Fuji peak visibility. Well worth it, and my family really enjoyed the tour. Note: we left Tokyo at 7:15am, best recommended time for best visibility chance is before 6:00am.
