Arakurayama Sengen Park
Start at one of Japan’s most photographed viewpoints. Ascend the stairs to the observation platform, where you’ll take in the iconic view of the five-storied Chureito Pagoda framed by Mt. Fuji—a breathtaking blend of traditional architecture and natural grandeur.
Lake Kawaguchi & Kawaguchiko Craft Park
Stop at Lake Kawaguchi, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, known for its mirror-like reflections of Mt. Fuji on clear days. At Kawaguchiko Craft Park, enjoy a relaxing lakeside walk or choose to savor a local lunch prepared with regional ingredients (if selected). Four gourmet menu options are available:
- Kobe Beef Shabu-Shabu
Lightly swish tender Kobe Wagyu slices in hot broth and enjoy their luxurious marbled texture. - Koshu Wine Beef Steak (Wagyu)
A Yamanashi local specialty made from Wagyu cattle raised on grape pomace for a subtly fruity flavor. - Houtou Noodles
Thick, rustic noodles in a hearty miso-based broth with vegetables and chicken—a regional comfort food. - Mt. Fuji Vegan Curry Rice
A mild and flavorful spinach curry made entirely with vegetables and spices. 100% vegan and satisfying.
Oishi Park
Continue to Oishi Park, known for its seasonal floral displays, with views of Mt. Fuji rising beyond colorful flower beds. Each season offers a new palette—from lavender in summer to vibrant foliage in autumn.
Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba
End your visit at this reconstructed historic village featuring thatched-roof houses, traditional crafts, and mountain views. This open-air museum offers a rare chance to step into rural Japanese life and culture from centuries past.
