Detailed itinerary

Arakurayama Sengen Park is renowned for its iconic view of Mount Fuji against the backdrop of the Chureito Pagoda, especially stunning during cherry blossom season. The park offers a perfect blend of cultural landmarks and natural beauty.

It takes about 2 hours to travel back to the drop off point.

Walk along the Shimoyoshida Honcho Street, behind the charming signs, lanterns, and many electric wires lining the street, you can see Mount Fuji. It's a perfect nostalgic lane for those who love capturing Japan’s vintage small-town charm.

Stop 3

This quick photo and refreshment stop offers your first postcard view of Mt. Fuji looming over the quiet town of Fujikawaguchiko. With the iconic Lawson convenience store in the foreground, it's a surprisingly popular spot among photographers seeking that perfect balance of everyday life and majestic nature.

Stop 4

Lake Kawaguchi, part of the Fuji Five Lakes, is renowned for its clear, reflective waters that offer stunning views of Mount Fuji. It's a popular destination for boating, fishing, and enjoying cherry blossoms in spring.

Stop 5

Oishi Park, overlooking Lake Kawaguchi, is famed for its spectacular views of Mount Fuji and seasonal floral displays, especially the lush lavender fields in summer. It's a prime spot for photography and leisurely strolls.

Named for its elegant, thread-like streams of water, Shiraito Falls is one of Japan’s most beautiful waterfalls and a designated national scenic spot. Water gently flows from a curved basalt cliff in fine streams, creating a curtain of white silk cascading down from 20 meters high. The walk to the falls is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a peaceful retreat in any season. At the entrance, visitors can enjoy simple lunch options such as soba noodles, local snacks, or soft-serve ice cream while listening to the soothing sound of the falls. （Simple lunch break at own expense is included）

Obuchi Sasaba is a tranquil green tea plantation offering one of the most breathtaking and serene views of Mt. Fuji. This scenic spot has gained fame for its postcard-worthy perspective: rows of emerald tea bushes leading toward the snow-capped mountain under a clear blue sky. It's a hidden gem perfect for photography, particularly during early spring or summer when the tea fields are vibrant. The peaceful atmosphere and expansive landscape make it a favorite among nature lovers and those seeking a quiet moment with Japan’s iconic peak.
