Begin your Mt. Fuji adventure with a comfortable departure from central Tokyo. This small group tour is limited to just 9 guests, ensuring a more personal experience with plenty of space and attention from your driver-guide. Two convenient meeting points plus an optional hotel pickup make it easy to start your day stress-free. Luggage can be stored on the bus.
– Lake Yamanaka · Swan Lake (40 min) -The largest of the Fuji Five Lakes, known for its resident swans. In winter, crisp air brings crystal-clear views of the snow-capped Mount Fuji rising above the calm shoreline. A peaceful start to your Fuji journey.
– Oshino Hakkai (70 min) -A traditional village home to eight sacred springs fed by Mt. Fuji's snowmelt, naturally filtered through volcanic lava over decades. Taste the pure spring water, try local delicacies like grilled dango and fresh tofu, and enjoy your own lunch at a village eatery. The 70-minute stop gives you plenty of time to wander, eat, and soak in the atmosphere.
– Lake Kawaguchi · Oishi Park (40 min) -A scenic lakeside park offering panoramic views of Mt. Fuji reflected in the waters of Lake Kawaguchi. Stroll along the path and enjoy the seasonal landscape — from winter snow scenes to spring blossoms.
– Lawson Photo Spot (20 min) -The famous Lawson convenience store near Kawaguchiko Station, one of Japan's most photographed everyday scenes. From the opposite pavement, capture the iconic composition of the Lawson sign perfectly aligned with Mt. Fuji in the background — a social media must-have.
– Arakurayama Sengen Park (60 min) -Climb 397 steps to reach the most iconic photo spot in the Mt. Fuji area. The park's centrepiece is the Chureito Pagoda — a striking five-story pagoda with vermilion-colored tiers set against the backdrop of Mount Fuji and the cityscape below. This is the exact composition seen on countless postcards and calendars. Standing beside the pagoda to frame your photo with Mt. Fuji is the must-do experience here. In winter, snow dusting the pagoda and surrounding trees adds an extra layer of beauty to this world-famous scene.
– Hikawa Clock Shop · Heavenly Town (20 min) -A charming street that seems to lead straight towards Mount Fuji — the “Stairway to Heaven.” The quaint clock shop and quiet area create a nostalgic atmosphere where time seems to slow down. A hidden gem for photos.
– Return to Tokyo -Depart around 15:30 and head back to Tokyo. Actual arrival time may vary depending on crowd flow and road conditions.
