Things to do in Yamanashi Prefecture

We spontaneously decided on this tour, and it was absolutely the right choice. Everything was perfectly planned and executed. Sia, our tour guide, was excellent, personable, and very helpful. She handled everything wonderfully, was well-organized, and also explained the history of each point of interest! An extra star for Sia ☀️

I had a great time in this tour. Everything is well-organized, starting from the reminders, directions and up to our lunch. I highly recommend booking this tour if you want to get the most of your Mt. Fuji day tour.

The tour was well organised. The 2 guides, Keiko and Akari were helpful throughout the trip. The only setback was the meet up location in the morning at Tokyo Station, try to set off early and have ample time to locate them.

Kousei was a great tour guide, very passionate. The tour itself was very enjoyable too we managed to visit quite a few famous sites within a day. View was stunning and the weather thankfully was good. Totally recommend!

Wow!! What a wonderful experience. I'm Mexican, I came alone, my English level is less than basic and even so Mila (the guide) was very patient with me and helped me with everything I needed. She was always available on Whatsapp and sent clear and precise instructions. You can definitely tell she loves her job. Thank you for everything, I will recommend the tour and obviously Mila. Regarding whether or not you will see Mount Fuji, the truth is it's a coin toss. I took the tour on February 20th and despite it saying it would be cloudy, it showed itself all morning until 1 pm. Take that into account because seeing Mount Fuji was the only reason I took the tour, if I hadn't seen it I would honestly be angry, not because of the organization, but because of the weather which I can't control hahaha

A day trip to Mount Fuji was truly amazing! The clear weather made the scenery look so breathtaking, especially when the peak was clearly visible. The schedule was packed but enjoyable—from enjoying the Yamanaka Lake to sampling local food at Oshino Hakai and Oishi Park. Even though it was only a day trip, it was very satisfying and memorable. This experience makes me want to come back again in a different season! Thank you, Yuri, for being the best tour leader! See you on next trip🥰

I had a great experience on this Mount Fuji tour as a solo traveler. The itinerary was well-planned, providing a comfortable bus to several scenic viewpoints that would have been difficult to reach alone. Our guide gave a helpful, quick overview of each location, which I appreciated. The balance of guided info and 'free time' to explore was perfect—just be sure to keep a close eye on the allotted time slots so you don't miss the bus!

It will be held during ButterBear 🧈🐻collaboration period in the first half of 2026. This is the only place in Japan where you can experience ButterBear, so I highly recommend it. There are also many thrilling rides, and it's the only place in the world where you can enjoy the spectacular view of Mt. Fuji!🗻

Ropeway/cable car starts at 8.30 and it's worth getting there early to beat the long lines caused by tour groups who started arriving around 9.30am. Views as you move up the ropeway were breath taking. A beautiful clear day with spectacular views across the lake and surrounding areas. Once you are at the top there are multiple areas to view and photograph Mt Fuji (and you can never get enough photos of Fujisan can you?). There is also a shrine, tori gates, souvenir shop, toilets, postbox, snacks, ice cream etc. and giant swing= 500 Yen per person , not included in ticket price but great fun! Lots of photo ops and if you want a professional photographer (if you want and extra cost). Great value and i can only imagine what it would look like in spring (blossom time). The great thing about going on this in winter are the crystal clear skies and much greater chance of Fuji 'not being shy'. Recommend with an early start!
