This tour takes you more closer to Mt.Fuji, visiting Fujinomiya, which is 30km east of Shimizu port. This city is located on the southern foot of Mt.Fuji, being away only 20km from the top. There are so many spots worth seeing gifted from Mt.Fuji. Also, the gorgeous view of the mountain is always at the side of you. For going to and from there, we can take the local railways, which must be a fun experience, too.

“What a fantastic day!”
Motoyuki was waiting for us at the port as agreed. He took us to a beautiful out of the tourist crowd location in a tea plantation where we experienced Mt. Fuji at it’s best. He then took us to see Otodome No Taki waterfalls fed by Mt. Fuji. We had the opportunity to taste local sake and of course a typical lunch. Lastly we went to Fujisanhongu Sengentaisha Shrine. The location was perfect to feel the local culture of Japan. We were fortunate to see the Sakura but shared the visit with couples taking wedding pictures, graduation and other family events. His enthusiasm was contagious and he has a great command of the English language. Perfect day with Moto!

(24 reviews)Thanks for the five-star rating and good review! The day was the perfect view of Mount Fuji. Our guides would be disqualified if we could not get through on such a beautiful day, haha. Find real Japan in a local city, I will guide you then! With great appreciation.

“Perfect day”
Moto was a perfect guide who planned a wonderful, packed day trip for us in the Yamanashi region using just a rough guide of what it is we were interested in. We were extremely happy and could not have imagined a better experiece. Highly reccommend.

(24 reviews)Thanks for a good review! It was a lovely day for the excursion of Yamanashi local sites with autumn leaves. Yamanashi has an iconic symbol as Mt. Fuji, but there are so many places worth seeing except for it. I am very happy that you found and enjoyed them. Please come to Yamanashi again and I will show you more and more!
