What to expect
🌤️ Sunny Day Plan We’ll start by cycling around Lake Yamanaka. We’ll rent bikes at SANSUI Bicycle Rental and follow the 2020 Tokyo Olympics cycling road race route, passing through Shiratori Hama, the popular cafe THE PARK, and Nagaiike Shinsui Park. 🦢 At Shiratori Hama, you can capture stunning photos of swans and Mount Fuji together; 🥞 Enjoy pancakes at THE PARK with beautiful views of Mount Fuji; 🏞️ Nagaiike Shinsui Park offers a close-up experience of Mount Fuji’s grandeur.
🌧️ Rainy Day Plan Instead of cycling, we’ll take the “Hakucho-go” sightseeing boat, shaped like a swan, to cruise around Lake Yamanaka. The boat was designed by the famous Japanese designer Eiji Mitooka, and its appearance is both beautiful and charming.
🏞️ Oshino Hakkai A constituent asset of the World Heritage site Mount Fuji, it has been designated a National Natural Monument of Japan and one of the “100 Famous Waters of Japan.” The eight spring ponds are fed by melting snow from Mount Fuji, and the water is crystal clear. The reflection of Mount Fuji in the water creates a picturesque scene.

⛩️ Mount Fuji Sengen Park or Hikawa Clock Shop (Choose one)

Reviews
The weather was superb! Had so much fun cycling and enjoying the scenery of Mount Fuji. Our driver / guide is very friendly and helpful. Recommend this trip!
Let's start with the pros. The scheduled itinerary, is in my opinion, perfect. We we're lucky that we we're in a small group (in total 6), so we sat in a MPV. The cons are 1) no(t an) English speaking guide (we only have a driver). There wasn't any communication to skip Arakurayama Sengen Park. We we're surprised at the end that we've arrived Tokyo station around 4 pm (we all started to sleep at the last stop). You just can't skip Arakurayama Sengen Park, which is definitely a popular spot!! So, quite disappointed, although the stops were good.
It was amazing being able to cycle by the lake. Sadly time given were only an hour. Will be great if more time given. Such we could explore more area. Overall good experience with a beautiful scenic of Mount Fuji. Good for family theme.
Great experience with beautiful stops around Fuji at a chill pace. The tour guide Ning was friendly and helpful.
This was the perfect day trip to Mount Fuji. it was a very small group and they came to pick us up in a van. the guide was very nice and available when we asked for information by text. They waited for us even though we were slightly late because we couldn’t find the south exit. at each stop, the guide made sure we have enough time to enjoy the view and take pictures( about an hour per stop) so it was just perfect. I highly recommend. -Nermine and Haider
The weather is great, and riding a bike is quite fun. The car is very clean and comfortable, and the driving is very smooth! The itinerary is also well arranged!
Had a great time during this excursion and had incredible views of Mt. Fuji throughout! Getting picked up at the hotel was so convenient and our driver had great communication with us!
The tour it's self was great ! Mt fuji on a clear day what could be better But the guide himself needs to learn how to drive before returning to taking familys on tours , angrily running red lights and over taking cars into incoming traffic is not okay , also driving 40km over the speed limit on the motorway back did not feel safe at all :( Great tour overall dispite these issues
please don’t waste your trip to Mount Fuji booking this trip. they sent a message at 3pm the day before cancelling the trip due to insufficient number of people, leaving us desperately searching for another tour. it was devastating and completely unprofessional. I still have not received my refund.
