Activity itinerary

Chureito Pagoda

  • 1h
Chureito Pagoda, located in Arakurayama Sengen Park in Fujiyoshida City, offers one of Japan’s most iconic and breathtaking views—its striking red five-story pagoda perfectly framed by Mount Fuji in the background. Built in 1963 as a peace memorial, the pagoda is part of the historic Arakura Sengen Shrine complex and has become a global symbol of Japan’s natural and cultural beauty. Visitors reach the viewing spot by climbing 397 steps through a peaceful hillside path lined with cherry trees and lanterns. In spring, the scene is especially magical with blooming sakura, while autumn colours, winter snow, and summer greenery each provide their own stunning backdrop. More than just a photo opportunity, the site holds spiritual and historical significance, offering a serene atmosphere for reflection. Easily accessible from Tokyo, Chureito Pagoda is a must-visit destination for those seeking unforgettable views, cultural depth, and a truly unique Mount Fuji experience.

Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine

  • 30m
Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine founded in 705 AD and located halfway up Mount Arakura in Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Dedicated to Princess Konohanasakuya-hime—the goddess of Mount Fuji and volcanoes—the shrine is traditionally visited to pray for disaster prevention, family happiness, and safe childbirth. While the main hall and its striking red torii gate offer a peaceful atmosphere for spiritual reflection, the grounds are world-famous for Arakurayama Sengen Park. Climbing nearly 400 stone steps from the shrine buildings leads to the iconic Chureito Pagoda, an observation deck that provides a quintessential, postcard-perfect panoramic view capturing the red five-story pagoda, a blanket of cherry blossoms or autumn foliage, and the majestic peak of Mount Fuji all in a single frame.

Lake Kawaguchiko

  • 1h
Lake Kawaguchiko is the most accessible and second-largest of the famous Fuji Five Lakes, situated at the northern base of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture. Celebrated for its stunning, mirror-like reflections of the iconic volcano across its calm waters, the lake serves as a premier year-round resort destination offering a wealth of hot spring towns, scenic hiking trails, and cultural museums. Its northern shore is particularly renowned for providing postcard-perfect vistas, where visitors gather seasonally to witness a dramatic framing of Mount Fuji amidst vibrant cherry blossoms in the spring or fiery red maples during the autumn foliage festival.

Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nemba

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba is a beautifully reconstructed open-air museum and cultural village located on the shores of Lake Saiko, one of the Fuji Five Lakes. Built on the site of a historic farming hamlet that was tragically destroyed by a landslide in 1966, the village features over twenty traditional thatched-roof houses (kabuto-zukuri) set against a striking backdrop of Mount Fuji. Today, these carefully restored structures serve as interactive workshops, galleries, and restaurants where visitors can explore traditional Japanese crafts, rent samurai armour or kimonos for photographs, and sample local delicacies like hoto noodles.

Saiko Lake

  • 30m
Optional: Lake Saiko is one of the scenic Fuji Five Lakes, located at the northern foot of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture. Formed by ancient volcanic eruptions that dammed local rivers, this relatively deep and quiet lake is surrounded by densely forested hills, including the northern edge of the historic Aokigahara Jukai Forest. While it is less developed for mass tourism than neighbouring Lake Kawaguchiko, Saiko is a highly popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking peaceful campsites, trout fishing, and kayaking. The surrounding area also features unique geological formations open to visitors, such as the Saiko Bat Cave, the Fugaku Wind Cave, and the Narusawa Ice Cave.

Fugaku Wind Cave

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Fugaku Wind Cave (Fugaku Fuketsu) is a historic, 201-meter-long lava tube located within the dense greenery of the Aokigahara Jukai Forest at the northern foot of Mount Fuji. Designated as a Japanese National Monument, this lateral-type cave maintains a remarkably stable average temperature of 3°C (37°F) year-round, which historically allowed local communities to use it as a natural refrigerator for storing silkworm eggs and seeds well into the 20th century. Unlike more claustrophobic pit caves, it features a relatively high ceiling and a gentle, family-friendly walking trail that takes about 15 minutes to complete. Inside, visitors can view striking geological formations like ropy lava shelves, unique light-reflecting moss, and natural icicles that remain frozen even during the height of summer.

Narusawa Ice Cave

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Narusawa Ice Cave (Narusawa Hyoketsu) is a spectacular, 153-meter-long vertical pit cave located within the Aokigahara Jukai Forest near Lake Saiko. Formed by a massive volcanic eruption of Mount Fuji in 864 AD, this dynamic geological marvel maintains a freezing temperature between 0°C and 3°C (32°F to 37°F) year-round due to its unique layout and lack of sunlight. Unlike the neighbouring horizontal Fugaku Wind Cave, the Narusawa Ice Cave features a steep, adventurous route with low ceilings and narrow steps that lead visitors deep underground to witness massive, glowing ice pillars, an ice-storage wall, and intricate frozen formations that naturally rebuild themselves every winter.

Mt. Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station (Fuji Subaru Line Gogōme) is a bustling high-altitude base located 2,305 metres (7,562 feet) above sea level on the northern slopes of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture. Accessible via the scenic 30-kilometer Fuji Subaru Line toll road, it serves as the highly popular trailhead for the Yoshida Route, drawing nearly triple the number of hikers compared to any other trail. Beyond being a critical preparation ground for summit climbers, this "above-the-clouds" station functions as a major standalone tourist destination complete with large observation decks, restaurants, souvenir shops, and the historic Komitake Shrine. Because it is heavily visited, private vehicles are banned from driving up the toll road during the peak summer climbing season, requiring tourists and hikers to utilise frequent shuttle bus services running directly from Kawaguchiko or Mt. Fuji stations.

Oshino Hakkai

  • 30m
Oshino Hakkai (literally "Eight Seas of Oshino") is a scenic set of eight crystal-clear spring ponds located in the small village of Oshino, nestled between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako. Formed on the dried bed of a prehistoric sixth lake, these sacred ponds are fed by Mount Fuji's snowmelt, which filters underground through porous layers of volcanic lava rock for decades before emerging as incredibly pure, mineral-rich water. Designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site component in 2013, the area served historically as a purification pilgrimage site for worshippers ascending Mount Fuji. Today, it functions as a picturesque open-air attraction featuring traditional thatched-roof farmhouses, wooden waterwheels, and bridges that frame stunning, mirror-like reflections of the volcano over deep pools teeming with large fish.

Hannoki Forest Museum / Sokonuke Pond

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Hannoki Bayashi Shiryokan (Hannoki Forest Folklore Museum) is a charming open-air museum and the only paid attraction within Oshino Hakkai, encompassing the village's largest, oldest, and most pristine spring pond, Sokohashi-ike. Centred around a meticulously preserved, multistorey thatched-roof farmhouse (minka), the museum interior showcases a rich collection of historic farming tools, ancient samurai armour, authentic weapons, and traditional household items from the Edo period. Visitors can climb to the upper floors of the farmhouse for an elevated view of the architecture, stroll through peaceful gardens featuring traditional waterwheels, and access an elevated observation deck that offers a panoramic, unobstructed view of Mount Fuji towering over the village.

Fuji Chobo-no-yu Yurari Onsen

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
optional Stop: Fuji Yurari Hot Spring (Fuji Yurari Onsen) is a popular, modern day-use hot spring resort located near Lake Kawaguchiko in Narusawa Village, renowned for its spectacular, unobstructed views of Mount Fuji. The facility features 16 different types of baths, including its signature open-air baths (rotenburo) where guests can soak in mineral-rich, natural spring water drawn from 1,000 metres underground while looking directly at the volcano. Designed to offer a comprehensive relaxation experience, the complex includes uniquely themed indoor options like carbonated baths, cave baths, and steam rooms, alongside private rental baths for families, a relaxation spa, and a traditional restaurant where meals are funly delivered to private booths via a miniature capsule conveyor system.
