About this experience

You'll witness a sea of vibrant pink moss phlox, perfectly framing Mt. Fuji's snow-capped peak—a view that few travelers get to see.

Enjoy a comfortable, private tour with an English-speaking driver who can offer travel advice, allowing you to explore at your own pace. No crowded buses, no fixed schedules—just a personalized journey to Fuji’s best springtime locations with door-to-door service from Tokyo.
