The Chureito Pagoda, located in Arakurayama Sengen Park, is a must-see attraction. This park is renowned for its breathtaking panoramic views of Chureito Pagoda, Mt. Fuji, and Fujiyoshida City at the foot of the Mountain. To reach the Chureito Pagoda and the observation deck, visitors must climb 398 stairs. The view from the top is considered one of the best in Japan and is listed as one of the 21 must-visit places for photographers from around the world. While the cherry blossom season is ideal for capturing the iconic image of Mt. Fuji surrounded by cherry blossoms and the five-storied pagoda, the park offers stunning scenery throughout the year as the landscape changes with the seasons.

The shrine was built in 705 and has served as the guardian god of Arakura Village for over 1,300 years. It is a sacred place of worship where people seek protection against bad luck, promote harmony within their households, and pray for safe childbirth and successful child-rearing.

20 min

Lake Kawaguchi is the most popular of the Fuji Five Lakes, renowned for its stunning panoramic views of Mount Fuji from the shore.It has the longest shoreline among the Fuji Five Lakes. On a calm, clear day, you can see a perfect mirror image of Mount Fuji reflected in the water. In 2013, the lake was added to the World Heritage List as part of the Fujisan Cultural Site.

30 min

Oishi Park is a beautiful scenic area where you can enjoy a stunning view of flowers, Lake Kawaguchi, and the majestic Mt. Fuji all at once. The lakeside promenade features various flowers that bloom according to the season. On the west side of the park, the "350-meter-long Flowers Road" offers a vibrant display of colorful blooms throughout the year. At the end of Flowers Road, you'll find Kochia (summer cypress) that flourishes from summer to autumn, making it a popular photo spot. Throughout the year, the park showcases 90 different types of seasonal flowers, with various blooms visible at any given time. As you stroll along the promenade surrounded by flowers and gazing at Mt. Fuji, you'll feel a sense of tranquility.

60 min

Oshino Hakkai is a village known for its eight clear spring water ponds, which are recognized as one of the "Top 100 Famous Waters of Japan." It is classified as a Natural Monument and is part of the Mount Fuji World Heritage Site. The eight ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji. As the water filters down through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, it results in exceptionally clear spring water that the locals deeply value. Visitors can taste this magical spring water for free, feel its sweetness and purity, and experience the legend of longevity.

20 min

Hikawa Clock Shop is located in a charming town, away from the busy Tokyo. A serene path leads to the iconic mountain, allowing you to capture Japanese street scenes with the spectacular Mount Fuji in the background.

Good.

Well put together with great communication. Sights were great and well timed. Our host was pretty good but stories and humor were not the best.

Communication lacking - tour was ok

If you have walking difficulties this is not the tour for you. Pick up point was hard to find as I did not receive any details sent to me regarding the guide name. Lots of tours pick up at the same point and even though we were 15 minutes early and asked every guide we saw, we did not find our guide until he rang asking where were we! Views of Mt Fuji were spectacular though! Joey our guide was good - very happy and informative.

Not worth the time or money

The stops are mainly souvenir shops, convenience store, places to spend your money. I’m not blaming Viator for rainy weather. Stops just weren’t interesting and were terribly crowded!

Don’t forget your water.

Bring some water with you in warm weather. While many places to buy are available, other tours can lead to long wait times at some locations. And don’t be like me and not practice stairs before the 398 steps to an incredible view. Otherwise an informative and beautiful tour that shows many aspects of Japan.
