Time to see Mt. Fuji!

Your adventure kicks off with a comfortable round-trip transfer from Tokyo, heading towards the majestic Mount Fuji. As you travel through scenic landscapes, the excitement builds as the iconic peak emerges on the horizon. Your first stop is the Mt. Fuji 5th Station, also known as the "Sky Palace." Perched 2,300 meters above sea level, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the surrounding area. Your expert guide will share fascinating stories of Mt. Fuji’s cultural significance and you'll also learn about the mountain's powerful connection to local traditions, from pilgrimages to festivals.

Serenity & indulgence

Next, you’ll make your way to the tranquil shores of Lake Kawaguchi. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the lakeside, where you can soak in breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji reflected on the water’s surface. When hunger strikes, you have the option to indulge in a delicious, locally inspired lunch. Choose from the savory Kotsu wine steak, known for its rich flavor and tender texture, or the comforting Hoto noodles, a traditional Japanese dish with thick, hearty noodles in a flavorful miso broth, served with seasonal vegetables. Following your lakeside walk, you’ll head to Oshino Hakkai, a beautiful collection of eight crystal-clear ponds formed from Mt. Fuji's volcanic activity. To cap off the day, you’ll visit Gotemba Premium Outlets, where you can shop at over 200 brand stores and pick up a souvenir.
