This is a trip to see the highest and most beautiful mountain in Japan, Mount Fuji and one of five lakes surrounding Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi.

Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano that last erupted from 1707 to 1708. At 3776m meters, Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan and its

top and gentle slopes are surrounded by rich and unspoiled nature. The mountain attracts many climbers during summer, while in winter its snow-covered

top and slope gleam pure white in the sun.

06:40 AM

Meeting place is in front of the JR information center of South gate, Shinjuku station

Shinjuku is the largest train stations located west of Tokyo with 3.5 million passengers getting on and off every day.

There is a large bus terminal called "Basuta" just across the south gate of Shinjuku station.

We are scheduled to leave Shinjuku station by limited express train departing around 7:00am to Otsuki station and change

the train to Fujikyu line to Shimoyoshida station to visit first travel destination, Arakurayama Sengen Park. (We might visit

Arakurayama Sengen Parak on the way back to Tokyo)


09:00 AM

Arakurayama Sengen Shrine

After arriving at Shimoyoshida station, we are scheduled to walk to Arakurayama Sengen Park.

After walking up either 389 steps stair or winding slope from the foot of Mount Arakura, we will reach the observatory deck of the mountain, where we can command world-famous spectacular view of Mount Fuji and the vermilion pagoda and cherry blossoms in spring and colored forest in autumn. There are many visitors from not only from all over Japan but also overseas countries.

Though the spring cherry season is the best for capturing the symbolic image of Mount Fuji, you can enjoy colored forest areas in autumn and snow caped mountain Fuji in winter.

11:30 AM

Panoramic ropeway near the top of Mt Tenjo

After arriving at Kawaguchiko station, we are scheduled to go to Panorama ropeway by bus or walk. It depends on the congestion of traffic. We can command a panoramic view from the summit of Mt Tenjo and see a beautiful symmetrical cone volcano, Mount Fuji.

We have luch at one of restaurants along lake shore of Kawaguchiko. Lake Kawaguchi is the most easily accessible of the Fuji Five Lakes by train and direct bus connections from Tokyo. The best views of Mt Fuji can be enjoyed for the lake’s northern shores and are particularly breathtaking during the cherry blossom season early April and the autumn colors in November.

One of the nicest spots for cherry blossoms is the eastside promenade near the Kawaguchiko Music Forest, while photographers will enjoy the Momiji tunnel for autumn colors, a maple tree covered road section along the lake’s northern shore.The Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway ascends 400m from the eastern shore of Lake Kawaguchi to an observation deck near the peak of Mt Tenjo. From the observation deck, which sit more than 1000 meters above sea level, there are panoramic views of the lake below and of Mount Fuji.


02:50 PM

Oishi Park

You can enjoy 350 meter of flower garden, the pink carpet of moss phlox and flowers of field mustard blossoms from late-April through early May and colored kochia and aster pilosus in autumn.

At the same time you can take photo of colorful flowers with Mount Fuji, you will be relaxed and forget time.

The best time to view lavender is from June through early July. You can enjoy seasonal flowers.

As the second option

Aokigahara is known as the Sea of Trees, is a forest on the northwestern flank of Mt Fuji, thriving on 30 square kilometers of hardened lava laid down by the last major eruption of Mount Fuji in 864. The western edge of Aokigahara, where there are several caves that fill with ice in winter, is a popular destination for tourists and school trips.

As Aokigahara is located near from Lake Sai, far way out of Kawaguchiko, it would take 2~3 hours more time than Oishi park.

Arrival time back to Shinjuku is late at night. It is recommended to visit summer time.

Reviews

This truly was our first day on our trip to Japan

My experience visiting Hakone and Mt. Fuji with Nao was fantastic. From the moment we booked the tour until the end, Nao was incredibly prompt in his communications, providing helpful information well in advance and frequently checking in on us. The tour was extensive, and he guided us patiently throughout the day. Unlike other guides, his fee included all transportation, lunch, and entrance tickets, which we found very reasonable. Nao is a friendly person, and we genuinely enjoyed his company. Having a private guide was a key reason for booking this tour. Haruo was very responsive both before and during our trip, confirming the sites we wanted to see prior to our arrival. On the morning of the tour, we mistakenly confused our start time and Nao-san kindly left his home early to accommodate us. He picked us up at the train station near our accommodation, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nao-san!
