Itinerary
The biggest attraction of Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine is that you can also see Mount Fuji's five-story pagoda. The vermilion-dyed large torii gate is a spectacular sight, and you can see Mt. Fuji from the gate. In spring and autumn, you can enjoy both cherry blossoms and autumn leaves at the same time.To get to the park, you have to climb 400 steps.
Lake Kawaguchi, one of the Fuji Five Lakes located at the northern foot of Mount Fuji, is the second largest of the five lakes. Surrounded by mountains, you can enjoy cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, and a variety of other flowers.
Oishi Park is one of the most spectacular spots around Lake Kawaguchi, where you can get a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji across the lake. Oishi Park, which offers a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji, is particularly popular with tourists and photographers. At Oishi Park, you can enjoy seasonal flowers such as kochia and lavender.
At the foot of Mount Fuji, in the northwest corner of Lake Saiko, you can feel like you've traveled back in time. This area, lined with thatched roof houses, was once home to the Neba village, which was said to be "the most beautiful in Japan." Now it has attracted attention as a spot that brings back memories and fresh surprises, and is visited by many tourists from both Japan and abroad.
Narusawa Ice Cave is a cavity that was created after lava flowed out during the eruption of Mount Nagao, a lateral volcano of Mount Fuji, in 864. The temperature inside the cave averages just 3°C, and it is covered in ice all year round. The highlight is the icicles that form when water droplets seep from the ceiling freeze. The ground is also slippery and slippery, so please hold on to the slope and proceed carefully.
It is about 20 meters high and over 150 meters wide, with countless thin streams cascading down the cliff like hanging white threads. The greatest attraction of the waterfall is that the meltwater and rainwater from Mount Fuji travels underground and gushes out all at once from gaps in the lava layers.
As the head shrine of approximately 1,300 Asama shrines across Japan, Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine venerates the sacred spirit of Mount Fuji and other volcanoes. Its profound cultural and spiritual significance was acknowledged in 2013 when it was inscribed as a key component of the Mount Fuji UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.

We had very good time with David . He picked up us from just lobby in early morning in order not to spend much more time in traffic and every pick ups and drops were just on time as he said . He had very comfort and clean mini van , at least he is half Japanese but his English was just as a native . Really appreciate it David
Thank you for your kind words and 5 star rating! We are delighted that you had a comfortable and enjoyable tour. It was wonderful meeting you
Our private Mt Fuji tour with Japonica Travel was absolutely worth it We were picked up directly from our hotel and our driver took care of everything throughout the day The itinerary was flexible and we never felt rushe The views of Mt Fuji were incredible and our driver knew the best spots for photos Having a private car made the entire experience so much easier than trying to visit Fuji on our own If you are visiting Tokyo and have one extra day I highly recommend booking this tour It was one of the highlights of our entire Japan trip

Amazing experience, Ali drove us to many of the best local and popular spots and gave us some great insight to the local culture. Locations were not too crowded for our 10 hour visit. We paid for some of the locations (<1000 JPY in total) but was 100% worth it.
Thank you for your fantastic feedback! It was our pleasure to show you around Tokyo. We are especially glad that you enjoyed the flexibility of the private tour and felt comfortable throughout the day. We hope you have many wonderful memories of Japan!
Great relaxing trip with Tony. Great English vocabulary and knowledge of all the stops. Excellent timing to avoid the crowds and beat the lunchtime crowd. Good vehicle with captain chairs and safe travels. Highly recommended
Thank you so much We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Japan
Mr. Kenta was very helpful to give us an amazing time and experience! He worked with us to customize the trip to our liking. And also helped take us to a wonderful traditional Japanese lunch which everyone in our group including kids enjoyed. Thank you, Mr.Kenta!
Thank you for your generous review! It was a pleasure serving you, and we’re delighted that you enjoyed your day with us. Safe travels
We had an awesome day trip out of Tokyo and into the countryside to see lakes, shrines, a museum village, and Mt Fuji views. The sights were great and the scenery beautiful. Our thoughtful and kind driver and guide, Ali, took us around, shared facts and history with us and took great care of us all day. Thanks, Ali!
We sincerely appreciate your lovely review. Knowing that you enjoyed your experience makes us very happy. Thank you for choosing us!
Super relaxed and chill trip. Great suggestions.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure being part of your journey in Japan. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure
We had an amazing private tour with Tony. Even though the weather was rainy and Mt. Fuji was not visible, Tony helped us make the most of the day and gave us a wonderful experience. He was flexible, patient, and thoughtful with our family of six. He adjusted the itinerary based on the weather and helped us visit Lake Kawaguchi, Oishi Park, Wind Cave, Ice Cave, and Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine. The caves were also very affordable, at 600 yen per adult and 300 yen for children 12 and under. We also stopped at Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba, but it was closed due to the weather, so Tony added a fun stop at Melody Road to make up for it. Super cool! He also found a spot for us to eat a delicious hot pot lunch at a very tasty Korean restaurant and made a quick 7-Eleven stop so we could get snacks for the ride back. Tony was kind and professional, and he made the day feel relaxed instead of rushed. He shared stories and some history as we drove past certain sights along the way. We saw everything we hoped to see and had a beautiful rainy-day Fuji experience. Highly recommend Tony for a private tour!
Thank you for your amazing feedback! We’re grateful you chose our tour, and we’re happy to know you had a fantastic day. We hope to see you again in Japan
Tony was a safe driver and a pleasure to be with for the entire day. He was very accommodating with our stops and last minute additions/changes to our itinerary. His English was very good and we had no problem communicating with him. We would hire him again.
We truly appreciate your 5-star review! It was our pleasure to show you around, and we’re delighted that you had such a great experience. We look forward to welcoming you again
