It was a very memorable experience. We really appreciated the structure of the trip, yet also enjoyed the flexibility we got at each stop. Our tour guide Aaron was very kind, organized, and useful, always able to answer questions with a smile. He even went the extra mile to walk with us to show us where the Tokyo Ramen Street was after the tour, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, one that we would definitely recommend.

The tour was really wonderful from start to finish. I enjoyed everything but especially the Sukiyaki lunch and the trip to Kawaguchi Ko Musical forest as well as getting to see Mount Fuji once the weather cleared. Our guide Josh was also very informative and entertaining throughout, highly recommend for a day outside the city with a more traditional feel to it.

Your Experience

Mt. Fuji and the Fuji Five Lakes

Kickstart your adventurous day away from the bustling Tokyo cityscape with a convenient pick-up at either JR Marunouchi, Tokyo Station or SMBC Bank, Shinjuku-Nishiguchi. Your expert guide, fluent in English, will take you to Mt. Fuji area. As the journey unfolds, you'll ascend to the mountain's 5th station, each turn revealing a different aspect of Fuji's majestic beauty. Whether it’s a blushing cherry blossom spectacle or a vibrant autumn foliage display, the mountain's seasonal transformations are sure to captivate you.

Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka

Post the mountain's visual treat, the tour heads to Lake Kawaguchi, the largest of the renowned Fuji Five Lakes. Known for its mirror-like water reflecting an unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji, the lake is a photographer's paradise. Boat rides, cultural sites, and scenic walks along the shore, subtly narrate the tales of the lake's deep-rooted heritage. The tour's final stop is at the highest of the Fuji Five Lakes, Lake Yamanaka. The lake, also known as 'Swan Lake', offers you a dip into natural hot springs while you bask in the picturesque views of Mt. Fuji and the distant Mt. Hakone. Interestingly, the name 'Swan Lake' originates from the swans seeking warmth during the colder months. The winter also witnesses the awe-inspiring 'Swan Lake' ice sculpture festival, a sight that’s not to be missed. The entire journey is made comfortable and hassle-free with air-conditioned transport, ensuring an unforgettable exploration of Japan's scenic and cultural marvels.
