Two waterfalls are visited. Shiraito Falls has been selected as one of the top 100 waterfalls in Japan. It is a constituent property because it was a place of pilgrimage and training for people, mainly Fuji-ko followers. The waterfall is 20 m high and 150 m wide, with many small waterfalls cascading down, looking like many white threads hanging down.
The building is made in the shape of a rail track as if it were a simulated experience of climbing Mt Fuji. The wall surface changes as you climb up the slope, and silhouettes of climbers and animals appear, making it a fun and educational experience.

The tour does not include the climb to Mount Fuji which would take much longer Our guide Ronald was perfect not only managed to optimize the time allowing us to stick to the schedule despite considerable traffic caused by an accident but answered all our curiosity about the country The driver saw the inconvenience that made us slow down said he was available to extend the scheduled time and in the end he even gave us a gift In short, everything perfect

Our tour guide Elisa was excellent. She spoke English perfectly. She knew exactly where and when to go to get the best photos before the buses all came. We were able to get great shots before the places were mobbed. The stops on the tour were great. We saw everything that we had hoped to see. She recommended the local dish Yakisoba which was delish! I highly recommend the tour and our guide.

Our guide; Yoshiko Ota, was excellent. The communication prior to our trip with Shizuoka Taas was reassuring. The waterfalls were magnificent, the heritage center was informative and fun. Our guide additionally took us to a Sake factory, not on the list. The whole excursion was fun, well organized, and worth what we paid, even though there were only the two of us.
