Detailed itinerary

At approximately 10:20, the tour visits Mt. Fuji 5th Station, the highest point accessible by vehicle, offering panoramic views, souvenir shops, and a small shrine. During winter months (around November 22 to April) or when weather conditions restrict access, this stop is replaced with Oishi Park, a scenic lakeside location known for its clear views of Mount Fuji and seasonal flowers. The stop duration is approximately 60 minutes. Some attractions may be skipped due to weather or capacity limitations.

Stop 2

At around 12:10, travelers arrive in Fujikawaguchiko for a guided matcha tea experience. In a shop facing Mount Fuji, a tea ceremony instructor will demonstrate how to prepare traditional Japanese matcha. As matcha has a naturally bitter taste, complimentary Japanese sweets are provided. This cultural experience lasts approximately 30 minutes.

Stop 3

At 12:50, there is a short self-guided stop at the Lawson convenience store near Kawaguchiko Town Hall. This location is well known for its photo opportunities with Mount Fuji in the background. This stop is included especially during winter when Mt. Fuji 5th Station is closed and lasts about 10 minutes.

At around 14:30, the tour visits the Hikawa Clock Shop and Arakurayama Sengen Park. The Hikawa Clock Shop is a popular photo spot located on a traditional Japanese street with Mount Fuji views. Travelers will then walk approximately 25 minutes to reach Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine within Arakurayama Sengen Park, a famous viewpoint for Mount Fuji. The total duration for this stop is about 90 minutes. Some attractions may be skipped due to weather, crowd levels, or time constraints.
