My favorite part about the tour was the village with the fountain water. Our tour guide LanerJ was the best! Very clear and efficient, she showed us the best spots, even the famous Lawson convenience store. Any one that has her as their tour guide will have an amazing time.

Although we unfortunately were not able to see Mount Fuji on our visit, my partner and I had a great time on our tour. We got to see many amazing sites that we never would have known about if not for going on this tour (and also got to eat lots of yummy food). We enjoyed how it felt like a good mix of guided information and self direction. We got to explore our surroundings and focus our attention on things that interested us the most. However, we do want to mention a special shout out to our tour guide Sawaki who was super lovely and considerate. We got to hear lots of interesting information from him about the places we were going to (including reccomendations of things to pay special attention to) and he told us fun stories whilst travelling between destinations.

It's a wonderful experience like none else. Being able to see Fuji-San from all those angles and see the culture that developed around it was mesmerizing. It's simple, all of the people I was during the expedition couldn't stop smiling. Sawaki was our guide, he was awesome! Very good at entertaining and very funny.

Enjoy convenient pick-up and drop-off from 2 points in Tokyo, and the company of an expert guide who takes you everywhere.

Mt Fuji is stunning, see it for yourself, from the reflection of the shimmering Kawaguchi Lake, and the skies atop the Kachikachi Ropeway.

Learn matcha making from local experts and enjoy a cup. Stroll through the hamlet of Oshino Hakkai featuring 8 crystalline springs.

Fun fact: Artists love Lake Kawaguchi, which offers unparalleled views of Mt Fuji on calm days, inspiring many landscape artworks.
