Full Description
Start your day in Tokyo at either Tokyo Station (7:30 AM) or Shinjuku Station (8:00 AM), where you’ll meet your expert guide and begin your journey to Japan’s spiritual and scenic icon—Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji 5th Station (April 26 – November 30):
Travel to the 5th Station, located 2,300 meters above sea level, where sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and the peak of Mt. Fuji await. Explore local shrines and shops, enjoy the cool alpine air, and learn about the cultural significance of the area.
Arakurayama Sengen Park (December 1 – April 25):
In winter months, visit the iconic Chureito Pagoda within Arakurayama Sengen Park. Capture breathtaking views of Mount Fuji behind the traditional pagoda. The setting changes beautifully with each season—think cherry blossoms in spring or fiery foliage in autumn.
Oshino Hakkai:
This tranquil village features eight clear ponds fed by Mount Fuji’s snowmelt. Stroll through scenic walkways, sample local treats, and enjoy picture-perfect reflections of Mt. Fuji in the water.
Traditional Onsen Experience:
Soak away your stress at Kinonohananoyu Onsen, where outdoor hot springs offer serene Fuji views. Should this onsen be closed, you’ll visit Fujino Yakata at Gotemba Kogen Resort—equally relaxing with stunning vistas.
