07:00 AM

Meeting Point

At Shinjuku Station or at your hotel (Tokyo)

07:30 AM

Shinjuku Station

We will take the Fuji Kaiyu No.3 to head toward Shimoyoshida. Fuji Kaiyu is the fastest transportation to get to the region, arriving at 9:11.

09:30 AM

Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine

This is one of the most famous photogenic spots. A photo featuring the red 5-story pagoda, pale pink cherry blossoms, and beautiful Mt. Fuji covered in snow has been widely shared around the world, attracting more visitors to Japan. We need to climb up the mountain along a steep slope, so if you have difficulties walking, this may not be the best choice for you. The round trip from Shimoyoshida Station at the foot of the mountain takes about 40 minutes for relatively fast walkers.

10:00 AM

Fujiyoshida Honcho Street

This is also a very famous photogenic spot on social media, so you may have seen photos taken here. It is located nearby, so we will take a walk to see the real view in person.

Oshino Hakkai

Oshino Hakkai, comprised of eight ponds, is famous for its spring water from Mt. Fuji. You will be amazed at how clean and clear the water in the ponds is. It is also well-known for offering beautiful views of Mt. Fuji through a traditional village landscape.

Historically, these ponds of natural spring water were associated with a religious group called 'Fujiko' and were registered as components of the World Cultural Heritage Site designation for Mt. Fuji.

About Tour Guide Keiko T.

Hello. I am Keiko, a nationally licensed tour guide for English-speaking tourists. I love traveling to new places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people. When I was young, I embarked on a long journey to explore more about my life. I settled in a small town in Illinois, USA, enjoying a new life while studying at the state university, and then moved to Florida to work for a while.

After coming back to Japan, I have been working in downtown Tokyo since 2008, mainly as a translator and sometimes as an interpreter in various fields, including central government offices, TV stations, and a university. Seeing the increased opportunities around the Tokyo Olympics 2020, I transitioned into the tourism industry and am currently working as a tour guide, basically giving day tours of downtown Tokyo, Fuji & Hakone, Kamakura and Nikko.

I love meeting people from different backgrounds, talking with them, and learning new things. That's why I enjoy hosting guests from abroad who want to explore Japan. Many local people helped me during my journey, and now it's time for me to give back. Come and meet me here; I will show you around amazing places in Japan.
