Itinerary
Chureito Pagoda is a stunning five-story pagoda offering one of the most iconic views of Mt. Fuji. Located on a hillside above Fujiyoshida City, it’s famous for its breathtaking scenery—especially during cherry blossom season or autumn. A short climb of about 400 steps rewards you with a picture-perfect view of Mt. Fuji behind the pagoda and city below.
The shrine is part of Arakurayama Sengen Park, which offers panoramic views of Mount Fuji. Over 650 cherry trees bloom in mid-April, creating a picturesque scene with the five-story Chureito Pagoda and Mount Fuji in the background . The park also provides stunning vistas during autumn when the leaves change color.
Oshino Hakkai is a scenic village in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, known for its eight crystal-clear spring ponds fed by snowmelt from Mount Fuji. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers stunning views, traditional architecture, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a popular spot for tourists and pilgrims alike.
Lake Kawaguchi (河口湖) is one of the famous Fuji Five Lakes, formed thousands of years ago by Mount Fuji’s volcanic eruptions. Lava flows from Fuji’s earlier eruptions created natural dams, and water accumulated behind them — forming the lakes we see today.
Visit the famous Lawson convenience store near Kawaguchiko Station, one of Japan’s most viral photo locations. From here, you can capture a unique view of Mt. Fuji rising perfectly behind the iconic blue Lawson sign — a striking blend of modern Japan and natural beauty that has become a must-visit spot for travelers and photographers.
Tenku no Torii (Heaven’s Gate) Visit this breathtaking torii gate set high above the clouds, offering one of the most scenic views of Mt. Fuji. It’s a perfect spot for memorable photos, where the sacred gate beautifully frames Japan’s iconic mountain and the surrounding landscape.
Discover the Tranquility of Lake Yamanaka with Stunning Mt. Fuji Views Escape the crowds and experience the natural beauty of Lake Yamanaka—one of the Fuji Five Lakes and the closest to Mt. Fuji. Located at the highest elevation among the lakes, Lake Yamanaka offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of Mt. Fuji throughout the year. Enjoy a peaceful stroll along the lakeside promenade, rent a swan boat, or simply relax and take in the calm waters and fresh mountain air. This area is perfect for photography, nature walks, seasonal flower viewing at Hananomiyako Park, and even hot spring visits with a view of Japan’s iconic mountain. Whether you’re seeking a quiet retreat or scenic adventure, Lake Yamanaka offers an unforgettable lakeside experience.

Our tour with our guide around Mt. Fuji was absolutely amazing! He was so sweet, knowledgeable, and made the entire day so special. He explained everything along the way and made sure we were comfortable, taken care of, and enjoying every moment. You could truly tell how much he cared about giving us the best experience possible. We learned so much and got to see some incredible sights. I would highly recommend this tour and our wonderful guide to anyone visiting Mt. Fuji! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is my highest recommendation. I went to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Disney, Universal- I did everything!! And this was my absolute favorite part of my trip. Rashid is an incredible, kind soul that will accommodate all your needs and is very flexible with itinerary if you have ideas of places to visit on your own, as well as providing an incredible experience regardless if you have one or not. He gave us an experience we will never forget and I can’t wait to come back in the Fall to tour with him once again (we did our first tour in the summer). This tour is 5 stars all the way!!
Thank you so much for this incredible review! ❤️ Knowing that your day with us was the favorite part of your entire Japan trip truly means so much to our whole team.

Thank you for the 5-star recommendation! 🗻🍁😊

I send this: Hello, after our tour today with your colleague Rashid, I just want to say my family and I couldn’t have asked for my mother’s birthday surprise to have gone any better. Rashid is so kind, polite, well mannered, and very knowledgeable. From the moment he collected us in the morning to when he dropped us off Rashid had a smile on his face. He is definitely an asset to the company. Thank you again for making my families day so special.
Thank you so much for your beautiful message! It honestly means a lot to us to know that Rashid helped make your mother’s birthday such a special and memorable day. We’re so happy your family had a wonderful time, and we’ll definitely share your kind words with Rashid—he’ll be very happy to hear them. It was truly our pleasure to be part of your family’s special celebration. Wishing your mother a very happy birthday once again, and we hope to see you all again in Japan! ❤️🎂🗻
My tour was with Attary, and he started by recommending an earlier start, due to congestion and the weather, which I am glad he did. During all the stops he provided the right amount of information and history behind them. The stops provided variety, and time on my own to explore allowing me to go at my own pace. All the sites visited were interesting and provided alot of opportunity for some great photos. Would certainly recommend this tour to others when visiting Tokyo.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear that Attary made your day enjoyable and that his advice about starting early helped you avoid the crowds and make the most of your time. We’re glad you enjoyed the different sights, stories, and freedom to explore at your own pace. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see you again in Japan! 😊
