Mount Fuji Special Train & Lake Kawaguchi Cruise/Ropeway & Lake Yamanaka & Hikawa Clock Shop Day Trip
🗻One Day at Mount Fuji | Stepping into Miyazaki's Summer Painting✨
No filter needed, this place is a postcard in itself📮
Ascending Sengen Shrine in the morning light At the end of four hundred steps Mount Fuji peeks out from behind the five-story pagoda In that moment, my breath lightened🌿
The hands of the Nichikawa Clock Shop move slowly The Showa-era streets hide the secrets of time Click the shutter, the clock shop and Mount Fuji in the same frame This is the Japanese cinematic feel unique to Mount Fuji🎞️
Boarding the lakeside mini-train🚂 The window is a moving scroll painting Mount Fuji appears and recedes with the tracks The wind carries the scent of summer
In front of Lawson’s blue sign Taking a bite of the limited-edition peach ice cream This is the most healing moment in everyday Japan🍑
⚠️Cable car maintenance from 5/11 to 7/17 Another way to see Mount Fuji Take a vintage cruise, feel the breeze on the lake Or go to Oishi Park, where lavender is blooming into a purple sea
The swans of Lake Yamanaka swim over🦢 Snow-white feathers, gentle necks Break off a small piece of bread and watch it gracefully bow its head In this moment, Mount Fuji also becomes soft
The spring water of Oshino Hakkai tinkles Eight clear ponds reflect Mount Fuji Eat a bowl of spring water soba noodles The coolness permeates from the tip of the tongue to the heart🍜
What to expect
Kind Reminder: The cable car will be out of service from May 11th to July 15th, and from December 7th to December 18th. A must-have for lazy people! No need for strategy, one route to unlock hidden ways to play around Mount Fuji. [Must-visit check-in spot] Arakurayama Sengen Park Climb 397 steps to the summit, Mount Fuji + Chureito Pagoda in the same frame makes for amazing photos.
Hikawa Clock Shop: Showa-style street + stunning Mount Fuji backdrop, casual shots are like Japanese magazine blockbusters.
Lawson Kawaguchiko Store: Convenience store + classic Mount Fuji photo spot, buying an ice cream as a prop makes for great photos.
Lake Kawaguchiko From 5/11-7/15 and 12/7-12/18, the cable car will be under maintenance. Instead, visit Oishi Park to see the lavender.
Oshino Hakkai: Eight spring groups are crystal clear, spring water ramen paired with Mount Fuji is amazing.
Lake Yamanakako: Feeding white swans is super healing (swans are not artificially raised, so their appearance cannot be 100% guaranteed).

The tour from starting till end was very meticulously designed. The bus was very neat and comfortable. The guide Yang is fantastic and excellent in her work. She coordinated with us well in time before start of trip. She not only guided us well throughout the trip but also helped us along. She is very fluent in english and it is actually very easy to converse with her esp for ppl who donot know japanese. I would highly recommend this trip.
This was a really great trip. I just signed up with a random company, but I was so satisfied. The tour guide's explanations were very professional, lively, and interesting, and the itinerary was well-paced and organized. Highly recommended!!
Day trip was wonderful. A bit fast-paced for us but it was manageable and we covered the itinerary on time. Tour guide Yang was amazing, helpful and knowledgeable. Good job!
