Scenic Spots of Mt Fuji & Lake Kawaguchi 1-Day Bus Tour

Explore the scenic side of Mt Fuji on a full-day bus tour covering Oshino Hakkai, Lake Kawaguchi, Oishi Park, Lawson Kawaguchiko Station, and Arakurayama Sengen Park.

Getting started

Choose your preferred departure point in Tokyo and meet your English-speaking guide at either Tokyo Station or Shinjuku. The tour departs from Tokyo Station at 7:50am and Shinjuku at 8:30am, with round-trip bus transportation included. Settle in for a comfortable journey towards the Mt Fuji area, with the itinerary adjusted when needed for traffic, weather, or crowd conditions.

What to expect

• Your first stop is Oshino Hakkai, a picturesque village known for eight crystal-clear ponds fed by Mt Fuji's snowmelt. Enjoy the traditional scenery and fresh spring water during your 50-minute visit.

• Continue to Oishi Park on the shores of Lake Kawaguchi. Seasonal flowers create colorful views throughout the year, with Mt Fuji providing a dramatic backdrop during clear weather.

• Spend around 70 minutes around Lake Kawaguchi, with time for lunch depending on your selected option. On calm, clear days, the lake may reveal the beautiful reflection known as “Upside-Down Fuji.”

• Make a 20-minute photo stop at this popular Mt Fuji viewpoint. The familiar Lawson storefront creates a striking contrast with the mountain rising behind it.

• Your final sightseeing stop takes you to Arakurayama Sengen Park. Climb 398 steps to the observation deck for the classic view of Chureito Pagoda with Mt Fuji in the background.

After the final stop, relax on the return journey before the tour concludes at Shinjuku Station around 6:10pm. Choose the no-lunch option or enjoy a Yamanashi Specialty Houtou or Koshu Wine Beef lunch as part of your selected tour option.
