Mt. Fuji can be seen from Tokyo, but if you feel the real size and its atmosphere as well as the value, you should definitely visit this area.
I am mainly guiding for the cruise ship passengers for shore excursion, but it is possible to pick you up at a JR station (Shizuoka and Shin-Fuji).
This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!
Shimizu port or JR station (Shizuoka or Shin-Fuji)
- I can pick you up in Shimizu port or at the exit of SHINKANSEN gate of JR station.
As there is no river on Mt. Fuji, water from the mountain comes out at lakes, ponds, or waterfalls as natural spring water. "Shiraito" literally means "white thread". The water comes out from the wall directly from Mt. Fuji 30 years after it falls on the mountain. 100 meter wide clear water falls will cleanse your body as well as sprits.
On the fine day, Mt. Fuji is reflected on this lake clearly. Although it is a small lake, the atmosphere is very quiet.
For pilgrims who climb Mt. Fuji, this shrine is the starting point. They bathe in Wakutama pond which is made up of the natural spring water from Mt. Fuji, and start climbing Mt. Fuji.
At this center, you will know how import Mt. Fuji is for Japanese people and watch 3 wonderful videos featuring Mt. Fuji. Inside the building, you can see the descriptions or articles concerning Mt. Fuji. The building of the center is very unique so that it can reflect on the pond in front of the building, it looks like another Mt. Fuji.
