your experience

This winter day tour will allow you to marvel at the fleeting and fragile beauty of the cherry blossom tree. Sakuras, commonly known as cherry blossoms are Japan’s age-old symbol of mortality; a metaphor denoting the ephemeral essence in living, reminding us that although life is beautiful, it is tragic and short. This tour grants you the opportunity to view some of Japan’s most iconic locations. Located just 2 hours away from Tokyo, it is an ideal one-day activity. Take part in an all-you-can-eat strawberry picking, and indulge in fresh juicy strawberries in the Yamanashi prefecture. Climb up 400 stone steps to the Arakurayama Sengen Shrine, and witness the beautiful, picture-perfect crimson pagoda, alongside Mt. Fuji and vibrant cherry blossoms.

About Arakurayama Sengen Park

  • From the park entrance, climb the 397 steps to the five-story pagoda. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the peak. Those who have trouble walking can view Mt. Fuji from the park entrance, but will not be able to see the scene of Mt. Fuji and the five-story pagoda together.

Strawberry Picking

  • Large bags are not allowed in the fruit picking area. All-you-can-eat applies only to the fruit picking location. Fruit cannot be taken home with you so please consume it during the allotted time.
  • If fruits are not ripe for picking due to weather conditions, the tour may be canceled. Depending on the weather, the group may only have all-you-can-eat fruit activity instead.
  • Infants aged 3-5 require an admission fee for the strawberry farm (Apr. 1-10: JPY 880; Apr. 11-20: JPY 660). Please pay in cash before entering the strawberry farm. (This admission fee is not required if tour bookings for 3- 5-year-old children are made using the child rate.)
