Itinerary
Chureito Pagoda
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.
Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine
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
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 Kawaguchiko
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

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.

An Exceptional Private Mt. Fuji Tour – Thanks to Usman! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a wonderful private tour to Mt. Fuji, made truly memorable by our fantastic guide and driver, Usman. Although the weather conditions were not ideal, Usman went above and beyond to ensure that our journey was smooth, comfortable, and thoroughly enjoyable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive, taking care of every little detail throughout the day. His flexibility, thoughtful planning, and genuine hospitality made all the difference, ensuring we had a great experience despite the less-than-perfect conditions. A great guide can truly transform a trip, and Usman certainly did that for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to accompany us on our Mt. Fuji adventure. Highly recommended, and a special thank you to Usman for such a lovely experience!

Great tour.
We were able to request 2 cars and travel as a big group of 10. Both drivers Usman and Rashid were fantastic. Car was clean and spacious. We spent the right amount of time at each location. Highly recommend this tour. Great for families.

Had a great day!!
Our guide Mizra did a great job showing us the sites, despite it being a cloudy rainy day . We did not see the top of Mount Fuji but we were able to capture glimpses of the mountain throughout the day. Her took us to some very interesting sites and we had an interesting lunch! Would highly recommend this tour but with the understanding Mount Fuji is only visible 30% of the time.
