Highlights
  • Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine - The Chureito Pagoda (忠霊塔, Chūreitō) is a five-story pagoda situated on a mountainside, offering views of Fujiyoshida City and Mount Fuji in the distance. This pagoda is part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine and was constructed in 1963 as a peace memorial, located nearly 400 steps up from the shrine’s main buildings. To visit, you must climb approximately 400 steps, where you can enjoy beautiful mountain views along with the shrine.

  • Oshino Hakkai - Oshino Hakkai is a small, traditional Japanese village in the Fuji Five Lake region, nestled between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako on the site of a former sixth lake that dried up several hundred years ago. The village features eight ponds fed by snowmelt from Mount Fuji, which filters through porous lava layers for over 80 years, resulting in exceptionally clear spring water revered by locals. You can drink fresh, natural spring water from Mount Fuji and enjoy close-up views of the mountain, weather permitting.

  • Lake Kawaguchiko - Lake Kawaguchiko is the second-largest of the Fuji Five Lakes. You can take a cruise ship around the lake and enjoy various restaurants for lunch.

  • Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway - The Mount Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and Lake Kawaguchiko Ropeway charges are not included in the package. The cable car ascends 220 meters to an observation point, offering fantastic views of the lake as you go up.

  • Oishi Park - Oishi Park is a public park located on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchiko. The park features a variety of seasonal flowers, with lavender in mid-June being particularly popular. From the park, you can enjoy beautiful views of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko.

  • Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nemba - This traditional Japanese village was once a small farming community until it was destroyed by a typhoon in 1966. It has since been rebuilt and transformed into an open-air museum where you can admire thatched-roof houses, learn about Japanese crafts and culture, and sample local foods.

  • Mt. Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station - The Mt. Fuji 5th Station is located 2,400 meters above sea level. The Fujinomiya 5th Station is the highest of the 5th stations, offering stunning views of Japan’s largest mountain. It is the last point on Mount Fuji accessible by car.

Great time to Mt. Fuji on Private Tour - Ali, our private tour guide, was professional and kind. He was very familiar with all the spots and recommended us to have photos at the best places capturing the best angles of Mt. Fuji. He helped with taking beautiful pictures of our family, and offered advices on good place to eat. Good timing on picking up from the hotel and right till the end. My family and I enjoyed the entire tour, and I recommend Ali to other travelers.

Efficient and relaxing - Mak was our driver. He was on time and alliowed us to customized our tour. When the restaurant we wanted for lunch was closed, he recommended another one near the location. Efficient and good guidance on what to do at each spot and then let us roam but was around in case we needed him. A great combination of freedom and someone there in case we needed help. Well worth it to save time instead of taking the train. We were lucky to catch some amazing views of the Fuji Mountain.

Enjoyed the sites outside of Tokyo, nature and beautiful settings! - We had an outstanding day with Ali! The trip to Lake Kawaguchiko provided us with several wonderful views of Mt. Fuji--we were lucky enough to have a really clear Fall day for our trip. Ali took us to an old village, as well as several vantage points around the lake area. And he kindly accommodated my interest in seeing the Itchiku Kobata Art Museum--a fantastic garden, buildings and incredible collection of spectacular kimonos. Ali was knowledgeable and warm, and we learned a lot from him about Japanese life and culture, given his shared experiences. A real highlight for our visit to Tokyo!

Missing Tokyo Already… - Being near the majestic Mt Fuji at 5th station was an awesome experience and lunch in a family-run restaurant at Lake Kawaguchiko was authentic. Our guide Mr Tajamal (Ali) was patient, humorous, polite and informative. He is an excellent driver too!
