Detailed itinerary

Your driver pick you up at Shin-Fuji Station.
(You will meet up with your guide at the Shiraito Falls parking area before visiting the first destination.)

A short drive from Shiraito Falls brings you to the tranquil Jinba Falls, a lesser-known but equally enchanting site. Surrounded by dense forest, this small waterfall offers a quiet, secluded atmosphere perfect for those who wish to step off the beaten path. The crystal-clear water and lush greenery make it a refreshing stop, and in the warmer months, it's a lovely spot to dip your feet or enjoy a quiet moment by the water.

Fuji Trout Farm is a charming spot where visitors can experience the local culture of fish farming and enjoy hands-on activities such as fishing and feeding trout. The spring-fed waters from Mt. Fuji provide a clean, natural environment for raising rainbow trout and other local fish. You can even have your catch grilled on-site for a fresh and satisfying lunch. Surrounded by scenic views and fresh air, it's a fun and educational stop for both families and nature lovers.

Stop 4

Shiraito Falls is one of the most iconic waterfalls in the Mt. Fuji area, known for its delicate, silken streams of water that cascade gracefully over a wide lava cliff. The falls are fed by the underground snowmelt of Mt. Fuji, creating a curtain of hundreds of small streams spread across 200 meters. Recognized as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s a breathtaking spot for photography, a peaceful walk, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature. Well-maintained paths and a viewing platform make it accessible for visitors of all ages.
