Half-Day Guided Tour of Arakurayama Sengen Park with Round-Trip Rail Transfers

A Scenic Journey through Japan's Iconic Landmarks

Embark on a half-day tour that begins at Fujisan Plaza, where a licensed English-speaking guide will introduce you to the mystical world of Mt. Fuji.

Hop on a local train and take a short journey to Arakurayama Sengen Park, a public park since 1959. Nestled near Kawaguchiko, the park is home to the historic Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine from 705 AD. The shrine, born out of the local's prayers urging Mt. Fuji to cease its eruptions, adds a mystical charm to your visit. Ascend the 398 steps, cocooned by blooming cherry trees, leading to the revered Chureito Pagoda. Constructed to comfort the spirits of war victims, the pagoda offers an enchanting view of Mt. Fuji, weather permitting.

Keep an eye out for Togawa Oshi Honjin, a historical pilgrim's inn that provides a glimpse into the city's past. As the day winds down, hop back onto the local train, your senses filled with the unique sights and tastes of Fujiyoshida.
