Saiko Bat Cave bus stop

- Meet at Saiko Bat Cave bus stop

Saiko Bat Cave (Wind Cave or Ice Cave during the winter)

- Different types of beautiful lava formations inside are amazing and worth seeing.

- Saiko Bat Cave closes from December through the mid-March in order to protect bats hibernating inside of the cave. Wind cave or Ice Cave would be an alternative place to visit during that period.

Aokigahara forest

- Aokigahara, "the Sea of Trees", stretches over the lava plateau formed by the eruption of Mt. Fuji. Formations of lava and creepy-looking roots spreading over a thin layer of soil have created the mystical and serene atmosphere. The fresh air and greenery spreading through the forest will make you feel relaxed and peaceful!

- You might find the field signs of wildlife on the way.

Nenba Hama (North shore of Lake Saiko)

- The view spot offers a majestic view of Mt. Fuji if the weather permits.

Ryugu Lava Cave

- The cave with the serene atmosphere used to be regarded the sacred place by the followers of Mt. Fuji worship. It'll be a special opportunity for you to learn a different aspect of Mt. Fuji as the holly object

Ending Point

Saiko Bat Cave bus stop (No. 45) - The place where the tour ends may change, depending on the itinerary.

Thank you for giving me such a great comment on the tour. I am very happy that you two shared your special time with me. It was such a joy you enjoying a stroll through Oshino Hakkai and the breathtaking views of Mt Fuji. The time we spent together was short, but I felt like you were my old friends as you were very nice and friendly to me. Hope you come bake to the Mt. Fuji area in the different season to find the different charms that Mt. Fuji and its surroundings show!　Arigato, Jacqui and Anusha san!!
