Itinerary
Mt.Fuji 5th Station is the closest you can get to Fuji san apart from the hiking season most common place where hikers start their hike to Mt. Fuji summit.
Chureito Pagoda is a five-story pagoda located in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. Renowned for its breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, it's a popular destination for tourists and photographers Scenic Location: Situated on a hilltop, the pagoda offers panoramic views of Fujiyoshida City and Mount Fuji. Cherry Blossoms: The pagoda is particularly beautiful during the cherry blossom season (late March to early April) when the surrounding area is adorned with thousands of pink blossoms. Autumn Foliage: Autumn brings vibrant colors as the trees change to hues of red, orange, and yellow. Peace Memorial: The pagoda was built in 1963 as a memorial for the citizens of Fujiyoshida who died in war.
In the past, the Kithaguchi Hongu Shrine used to be the common starting point for climbing Mount Fuji from the north. Fujiyoshida Sengen Shrine stands in a dense forest and is set off from the road by a long approach lined by stone lanterns and shaded by tall cedar trees.
Lake Ashinoko was formed in the caldera of Mount Hakone after the volcano's last eruption 3000 years ago. Today, the lake with Mount Fuji in the background is the symbol of Hakone.
Board a Hakone Ropeway gondola to view sights such as the smoking and sulfurous Owakudani Valley, the calm waters of Lake Ashinoko and the grandeur of Mount Fuji . The 24-minute journey covers 4 kilometers, making it one of the world’s longest ropeway rides. Since the ropeway runs year-round, you can take in the different sights and sounds of every season.

Moon was an excellent tour guide, and Abed was a very safe and courteous driver. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. Moon was very talkative and patient with my 12 year old son, who is pretty much just into anime, Pokémon & video games. The van was VERY nice- leather seats, reclining chairs with foot rests, and it was stocked with bottled water. It is clear that moon has been doing this a while and he gave us lots of tips for other places to see & things we might enjoy. 10/10 I would do this tour again, and any tour Moon was leading/Abed was driving. Guide services are not included in the price, you pay separately so that should factor into your budget, but it is well worth it.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled Moon and Abed made your day special and that your son enjoyed the experience. We’re glad the comfort, care, and tips stood out. We truly appreciate your note about the guide fee and hope to welcome you again soon!

Imran and Komori were terrific. They gave us a long enjoyable day. They adjusted to the needs of 2 seniors and two young people (10&12) to make it a wonderful family trip. Komori driving made us feel safe on the narrow winding mountain roads and Imran is personable with a vast knowledge of the area. We all thank you. Annette, Kenn, Stewart, Kanae, Kaiden and Liliah ( in order of age 😊)
