What to expect
A classic route that captures the essence of Mount Fuji's four seasons in one trip 📷, no matter when you depart, you'll encounter the most beautiful scenery of the season.
- From October 1st to April 25th, the itinerary goes to Arakurayama Sengen Park. This is a world-class Mount Fuji viewing spot. After climbing 397 steps, the Chureito Pagoda, Mount Fuji, and the cityscape of Fujiyoshida appear in the same frame, a scene many consider a “must-shoot in this lifetime.” Cherry blossoms bloom in spring 🌸, summer is filled with lush greenery, autumn leaves are layered 🍁, and winter brings snow-capped peaks. Each season is worth savoring.
- From April 26th to September 30th, the itinerary changes to Mount Fuji’s 5th Station. At an altitude of 2305 meters, gazing up at Mount Fuji 🗻 from a close distance offers a completely different kind of awe than viewing it from afar. On clear days, you can overlook Lake Kawaguchiko and the surrounding mountains. When clouds rise, a sea of clouds rolls beneath your feet, as if walking among the heavens.
- Depending on the season, the itinerary will also include limited-time attractions around Lake Kawaguchiko; during non-seasonal periods, it will go to Oishi Park. ① The Lake Kawaguchiko Cherry Blossom Festival in spring (visiting between March 28th and April 12th, 2026), transforms the lakeside into a pink corridor; ② The Fuji Shibazakura Festival at Lake Motosu from April to May (visiting between April 13th and May 22nd, 2026), spreads like a colorful carpet at the foot of Mount Fuji; ③ The Autumn Leaves Corridor (visiting between November 1st and November 30th, 2026) presents a scene where red leaves complement the snow-capped Fuji.
- The journey concludes at Lake Yamanakako. You can take a swan-shaped boat to cruise the lake 🦢, or choose a hot spring itinerary to relax by the lake in the tranquility accompanied by Mount Fuji ♨️.
- A Mount Fuji trip that balances photography, seasonal charm, and depth of experience, every shot is a timeless view.





















Reviews
The tour was great, just enough time at each location and no wasted time. Enough time to enjoy Mt. Fuji and get a lot of pictures. The schedule is full so its not a "leisure" excursion. Its more to see each spot, take a couple pics, look at the mountain and move on. Guide did a great job!
Very piiiink! Nice that we were able to see the flower fields in full bloom. Comfy and convenient ride. Too bad that Mt Fuji was hiding that day. Good thing the flowers saved our day. Our guide Yong was helpful and informative.
Yong is very attentive. He contacted me the night before the tour and confirmed details. During the tour, he gave information about the place we are visiting. He also informed us once he saw Mount Fuji. Good experience indeed.
You can visit three place in one day, Fuji Shibazakura Festival is so beautiful, you can see Mount Fuji whole day, fyr you have to pay three extra 💰 for Festival tickets, boat tickets and Lunch. Our guid - Yung is very nice and helpful, he took you to the place and clearly tell you the meeting place and time.
I was glad we were only 6 in the tour so it was like we rented the van. Royce was a smooth driver and he was able to take us to the places without issues. Glad I took this tour since going Shibazakura by DIY was not that worth it. 😅
David was a great guide, cheerful, informative and funny. The Shibazakura festival was amazing, flowers were very pretty, however clouds were in the way so didn't get a good view from this area of Mt Fuji. The journey up to the 5th station provided spectacular views and eventually, the clouds parted for awhile so we were blessed with fantastic views of Mount Fuji. The only downfall was the visit to the Lake, it was a bit cold and we looked around for a cafe/coffee shop, but could only buy ice creams. I'm gathering that it was too early in the season for the shops to be open, but we did enjoy the ice cream
Worth every single penny! Our tour guide, Sandy, was very good and gave us tips on where we can see Mt Fuji in its glory. He is good in accomodating our needs as tourists. We were lucky enough that Mt Fuji decided to appear today!
Had a great tour with Laner at Mount Fuji! She was friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience enjoyable. However, the stay at each spot felt a bit rushed, and we didn’t have enough time to fully appreciate everything. Still, I’d recommend her for anyone looking to explore Mt. Fuji!
We enjoyed our tour! The places we went to are all gorgeous. Very beautiful. Also, our tour guide, Suzan, can speak three languages, english, chinese and japanese. She is kind and knew very well the tourist spot. Very great experience!
Josh was wonderful! I really appreciated his ability to keep the group on time and organized. in between stops he shared knowledge about Japanese culture and why things are the way they are. he was also very kind to provide other tips and recommendations. We were so very lucky to be able to see Mt Fuji in the summer time! All the spots we were taken to were STUNNING. The restaurant for lunch was very good and had an amazing view of Mt. Fujisan. Be prepared with cash, there are souvenir shops along the route and you will need cash for lunch and the optional swan lake boat. Please be respectful and be punctual, the tour will leave without you. We had 2 in our group that did not make it on time to the pickup point and were left behind. So happy I took the excursion, it is a memory I will never forget! Thank you Josh for being a lovely and patient human! it’s hard dealing with tourists lol!
