Detailed itinerary

Visit the sacred Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, one of Japan’s most important spiritual gateways to Mount Fuji. Nestled in a serene forest at the foot of the mountain, this centuries-old shrine has long been a place where pilgrims pray for safe climbs and blessings from the gods of nature. As you walk through the towering cedar trees and pass beneath the grand torii gate, you’ll feel the deep spiritual energy that has drawn worshippers for over a thousand years — a peaceful and authentic glimpse into Japan’s ancient connection with Mount Fuji.

Explore the charming village of Oshino-mura, a picturesque spot nestled between Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka. Famous for its crystal-clear spring ponds fed by the melted snow of Mount Fuji, Oshino-mura offers a glimpse of traditional Japan with its thatched-roof houses, local food stalls, and stunning mountain views. Stroll through the peaceful lanes, taste freshly made tofu and soba, and experience the serene beauty of this hidden gem that perfectly captures the harmony between nature and village life.
