11:00 AM

Chureito Pagoda in Arakurayama mountain

You will arrive at Shimoyoshida stop around 10:50.

We have about one hour for hiking, taking pictures, visiting the shrine in the Arakurayama park.

Chureito Pagoda in Arakurayama park is the most famous scenic site among my guests. You see the red pagoda and Mt. Fuji at the same time and learn Japanese culture, and history of the shrine there. It is about 15 minute-hike up to Chureito pagoda on the steps or slopes and you enjoy taking pictures at higher places. Mt Fuji is beautiful when the weather allows.

12:30 PM

①Ohishi Flower Park, Lunch

This is a recommended itinerary when flowers are nice and views of Fuji is good. And there're nice restaurants and cafes.

Heading for Lake Kawaguchi by taxi (Going by train and bus takes longer time).

You enjoy wonderful sceneries of Mt. Fuji from the lakeside flower park when the weather allows.

02:30 PM

②Lake Kawaguchi, Kimono Museum

Itchiku Kubota Kimono Museum is wonderful and nearby where you can see some gorgeous works made by the tie dye hand-made Kimono master, Itchiku Kubota. (It's closed on Tuesday) that are stored and displayed in an old Japanese style wood structure. You can also enjoy its beautiful garden with a pond.

The additional cost of entrance: 1500JPY /person

04:40 PM

Kawaguchi station

An express bus takes us to Shinjuku directly, arriving around 6:30pm, depending on the traffic conditions.

06:00 PM

Shinjuku Bus Terminal

End of the tour

03:40 PM

Optional: Oshinohakkai Pond Area

Since the local buses don't come often, it is hard to visit 4 places in one day.

Instead ① and ②, you can choose to go to the Oshino-Hakkai pond area. That is in the village with eight ponds of natural springs. You take a taxi, which is an easier and faster way to get there.

The water is clear because it's flowing underground from Mt. Fuji. You can stroll around the ponds and along the river, and enjoy to have typical Japanese dishes for lunch and to see a

beautiful Japanese countryside.

From Oshino-hakkai, you take a direct bus to Shinjuku. The arrival time depends on the traffic.
