Itinerary
Arakurayama Sengen Park is renowned for its iconic view of Mount Fuji against the backdrop of the Chureito Pagoda, especially stunning during cherry blossom season. The park offers a perfect blend of cultural landmarks and natural beauty. It takes about 2 hours to travel back to the drop off point.
Walk along the Shimoyoshida Honcho Street, behind the charming signs, lanterns, and many electric wires lining the street, you can see Mount Fuji. It's a perfect nostalgic lane for those who love capturing Japan’s vintage small-town charm.
This quick photo and refreshment stop offers your first postcard view of Mt. Fuji looming over the quiet town of Fujikawaguchiko. With the iconic Lawson convenience store in the foreground, it's a surprisingly popular spot among photographers seeking that perfect balance of everyday life and majestic nature.
Lake Kawaguchi, part of the Fuji Five Lakes, is renowned for its clear, reflective waters that offer stunning views of Mount Fuji. It's a popular destination for boating, fishing, and enjoying cherry blossoms in spring.
Oishi Park, overlooking Lake Kawaguchi, is famed for its spectacular views of Mount Fuji and seasonal floral displays, especially the lush lavender fields in summer. It's a prime spot for photography and leisurely strolls.
Named for its elegant, thread-like streams of water, Shiraito Falls is one of Japan’s most beautiful waterfalls and a designated national scenic spot. Water gently flows from a curved basalt cliff in fine streams, creating a curtain of white silk cascading down from 20 meters high. The walk to the falls is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a peaceful retreat in any season. At the entrance, visitors can enjoy simple lunch options such as soba noodles, local snacks, or soft-serve ice cream while listening to the soothing sound of the falls. （Simple lunch break at own expense is included）
Obuchi Sasaba is a tranquil green tea plantation offering one of the most breathtaking and serene views of Mt. Fuji. This scenic spot has gained fame for its postcard-worthy perspective: rows of emerald tea bushes leading toward the snow-capped mountain under a clear blue sky. It's a hidden gem perfect for photography, particularly during early spring or summer when the tea fields are vibrant. The peaceful atmosphere and expansive landscape make it a favorite among nature lovers and those seeking a quiet moment with Japan’s iconic peak.

Very amazing experience travelling around mount fuji and so many beautiful sights this , tour guide was amazing and very kind she explained everything about all of the sights we visited clearly and told us the stories behind them they were so interesting . would 100% go again
Well laid out itinerary. It’s an early start but you see many views of Mt Fuji (if it’s a clear day. Arakurayama Sengen Park and Fujiyoshida Shiei Honmachidori Parking Lot are one stop— and it’s a tight timeline to climb to the pagoda and back down to the parking lot view. Otherwise, all the other stops were nice and comfortable.
Day bus trip from/to Shinjuku. An amazing experience led by brilliant tour guide Golldy (Kim). This was the only clear day that week - recommend monitoring weather forecasts 2-3 days ahead. Must do.
Goldie was a great tour director. Mt. Fuji cooperated all day and our pictures were great. We especially loved the tea farm.
Includes the main 'shots' your camera roll desires but the weather can have a say on what you see. It's a mountain after all. Pick up was smooth despite being delayed by an earlier incident. The guide's English was ok, timeliness was essential, we began to leave 1 checkpoint with 4 people over 5 minutes late. They flagged the bus down. The guide did then proceed to attempt to cut short the amount of time at each stop which seemed over zealous.
Tour from Tokyo to Mt Fuji with other stops to parks and waterfalls. It was a cloudy day but at least it didn't rain and had some peak views of the mountain. The tour guide was friendly but seemed inexperienced. She raced through some of the best spots, leaving the more seasoned (slower moving) tourists lost and trying to figure out which way to turn. Furthermore, she spoke in Korean to a group of Korean tourists, shortening what she said in English to the one-third who spoke English. She am certain she will learn how to manage such groups in time, but it wasn't the best.
Fantastic tour. We were lucky and had full Fuji view for most of our stops, it clouded over just as we hit our last stop at the green tea fields. We went during peak season with cherry blossoms and still had time to get our iconic shot with a 45 minute long lone up.
We had the pleasure of travelling with a guide named Kei. She was a bundle of energy and worked really hard to ensure everyone was safe but also that people were able to experience everything that the tour had to offer. The tour itself is more four stars as it could have done with one or two less stops (Lawson's for example). We took a ton of pictures and we made a memory to treasure for the rest of our lives. Thanks Kei, for all your effort.
Our guide was amazing. Had so much fun touring my. Fugi. Excellent value for an entire day's activity.
We had the best tour ever with tour guide Kei! She was funny, knowledgeable and kept the trip interesting as we visited all the best spots! Would definitely book again! Thanks Kei and our great bus driver Sato!
