Great tour. Wasn’t expecting to actually go on Mount Fuji so that was an added bonus. Out tour guide, Rachel Wanting was a great tour guide. She had interesting insights on the history of Mount Fuji. Hope we can book her on a future tour.

I stayed in a Japanese-style room for two nights with a view of Mt. Fuji and really enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable, the hotel was quiet, and everything was well maintained. The breakfast and onsen were both nice, and the shuttle bus to and from Kawaguchiko Station was very convenient. Overall, a pleasant stay and a hotel I would recommend when visiting the Fuji area.

Booking the Mount Fuji view room this time was absolutely worth it. Waking up in the morning, we could see the majestic Mount Fuji right from our floor-to-ceiling window, even though some white clouds were blocking part of it. Considering we checked in after a typhoon, we were already very lucky. We also enjoyed breakfast while admiring the natural scenery outside, which was truly delightful and relaxing. The hotel environment is spacious and expansive, and I really love this sense of comfort. The only minor drawback is that the road leading to the hotel is very narrow and completely dark without any streetlights, so you need to drive very carefully!

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Very attentive staff who were always welcoming. The hotel runs a shuttle bus between town every hour between 0800 and 1900 which was an extremely nice touch. Would 100% recommend and stay again. Fantastic views of Mt Fuji!

A very good experience! Waking up to a direct view of Mount Fuji, which you're guaranteed to see if the weather is clear between 5 AM and 10 AM. The room is spacious, but the shower facilities are basic; it's better to use the large public bath! Hotel location: Unbeatable beautiful scenery. Transportation convenience: Only accessible by car.

Mr Gao was our designated driver for the day. He was professional, friendly, and accommodating throughout the entire trip. He even kindly offered to drop us off directly at our accommodation after the tour. I was truly impressed by his service and grateful for kindness. Highly recommend this day tour with Mr Gao!

Good trip. The driver was very friendly. There were a few moments of sudden braking, so people who get carsick easily might want to be careful, but it wasn’t a problem for me. The driver was also very punctual. We chose the hotel pick-up and drop-off option. If you’re traveling in a small group (there were only 2 of us), it’s very convenient and definitely worth it compared to buying passes or traveling by yourselves. I do wish we had a little more time at the Oshino Hakkai village. The atmosphere there was really nice, and I didn’t have enough time to explore everything. Overall, I was very impressed with the trip.

Cultural and Historical Significance

The Narusawa Ice Cave, a fascinating natural wonder formed over 1,150 years ago, is recognized as a Natural Monument since 1929. Nestled within the Aokigahara Forest, which was once a vast lake before the eruption of Mt. Fuji, the cave is part of a rich geological and cultural tapestry. Alongside the Fugaku Lava Cave and Bat Cave, it has been historically significant for ice storage since the early 1900s, reflecting its vital role in local culture and history.

Legend of the Pit of Hell

Adding a layer of intrigue to your visit, the Narusawa Ice Cave is shrouded in the legend of the 'Pit of Hell.' This mysterious section of the cave is rumored to stretch all the way to Enoshima Island in Kanagawa Prefecture. While this remains unverified, the legend certainly adds an element of mystique and allure to your exploration.

Historical Significance

The Narusawa Ice Cave was created in 864 during the eruption of Mt. Nagao, resulting in a vast underground cavern. Historically, this cave served a practical purpose, being used to store seeds and silkworm cocoons due to its naturally low temperatures, highlighting its importance in the region's history.

After an exhilarating exploration of the caves, treat yourself to a unique local delicacy—corn-flavored ice cream available at the nearby gift shop. This delightful and refreshing treat is perfect for cooling down and savoring the local flavors after your adventure.
