About this experience

About
Escape the crowds of Hakone and Kawaguchiko and discover the quiet, local side of Mount Fuji on a guided e-bike tour in Fuji City.
Just one hour from Tokyo by Shinkansen, this 3-hour small-group tour takes you into the peaceful countryside. Ride along quiet rural roads, a beautiful coastline, and traditional villages most visitors never see.

Thanks to electric-assisted bikes, the ride is easy and comfortable, even with little cycling experience.

Led by an English-speaking local guide, you’ll visit hidden local spots, including natural spring water sources fed by Mount Fuji. Along the way, enjoy scenic viewpoints, photo stops, and insights into everyday life at the foot of the mountain.

Why Winter?
Winter offers the clearest views of Mount Fuji. While summer is often cloudy, winter brings crisp, dry air and the best chance of seeing the snow-capped peak. Fewer tourists mean quieter roads and a more relaxed ride.

☆Mt. Fuji visibility depends on weather conditions.
