Itinerary
Chureito Pagoda (忠霊塔, Chūreitō)
Your day begins at the mountainside overlooking Fujiyoshida City and Mt Fuji in the distance. The pagoda is part of Arakura Sengen Shrine, built as a peace memorial in 1963. You’ll climb nearly 400 steps up the mountain from the shrine’s main buildings and be greeted by an outstanding vista of the mountain.
Mt. Fuji 5th Station
The 10‑hour private Mount Fuji tour includes a stop at Mt Fuji 5th Station (approximately 2,300 m above sea level). Here you’ll get a close‑up view of Mt Fuji if the weather is favourable; you’ll find souvenir shops and a chance to feel the mountain’s atmosphere. Please note: during the official climbing season (July 14–September 10) direct vehicle access may be restricted and you may need a shuttle‑bus (¥2,100 per person).
Lake Kawaguchiko
Time for lunch at Lake Kawaguchiko, where many restaurants await. The lake sits at approx. 830 m elevation, offering cooler summers and icy winters. Enjoy your meal with a backdrop of Mt Fuji, stroll the lake shore, or pause in one of the cafés.
Oshino Hakkai
Continue to Oshino Hakkai – a set of eight ponds in a small village between Lake Kawaguchiko & Lake Yamanakako. The ponds are fed by melted snow from Mt Fuji that filters through lava rock for decades, creating crystal‑clear spring water revered by locals. On a clear day you’ll also enjoy a close view of Mt Fuji.
Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nemba
This picturesque spot offers Mt Fuji in the background and old Japanese houses with straw roofs. You can find local craft shops, meet local artists, and even rent kimonos or samurai armour for fun photo‑moments.
Oishi Park
On the north shore of Lake Kawaguchiko, Oishi Park grants superb views of the lake and Mt Fuji simultaneously. A calm spot to pause, capture photos or just breathe in the surroundings.
Fuji‑Q Highland (optional)
For thrill‑seekers, a stop at Fuji‑Q Highland—an amusement park near the base of Mt Fuji—adds adventure to your day. With roller‑coasters and rides under the mountain’s gaze, this is a unique twist.
Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Jinja Shrine
Finally, explore this historic shrine dedicated to the goddess of Mt Fuji, Konohanasakuya‑hime. Established around CE 100, the shrine has played a significant role in Shintoism and the legacy of the mountain.
