Lake Kawaguchi is the most popular place to view Mt. Fuji. I will take you to Arakurayama Park, which is the most popular place to take the picture of Mt. Fuji with the Pagoda. We will take a direct express train from Shinjuku in Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchi to avoid the traffic jam by a highway bus. The place is now overcrowded with foreign visitors so I will choose places not so busy yet. In case of unfavorable weather to view the mountain, I will propose other places.

Tour Important Information

The possibility of viewing Mt Fuji depends on the season. The chance will be about 80% during winter, but less than 20% in summer time. Please take a look at the graph at the last page of the pictures of this tour. In case we can not see Mt.Fuji at all, we will visit other interesting places near the lake such as museums of Kimono and ice caves in Aokigahara forest.

If you book any of my tours on the other days, I can switch the date with one of them so that you have better chance to view Mt.Fuji.

The highway buses are sometimes fully booked so please book the tour one week before so that I can book your seats.

If the bus is not available, we have to use trains.

- The tour guide is not available on Monday.

- Please, send a direct message to the tour guide for confirming the availability before booking

We have to use a taxi to visit Oshino Hakkai and Arakurayama if you choose these options.

Not available on Mondays.

Mt. Fuji's View from Lake Kawaguchiko Up-to-You Tour

Mount Fuji
10 hours

Mt. Fuji isn't always visible, especially when it's hazy. Please choose the spots in the highlights you would like to visit around Kawaguchiko/ Mt. Fuji, based on your interest/preferences, your physical condition and the weather. It depends on which ones you choose, but I'll do my best to arrange it the way you can visit more than three of them but if you choose both Chureito Pagoda and Nemba, you might not be able to choose the other options unless you are willing to use taxis.
