Things to do in Fuji

What a wonderful trip to Fuji! We manage to spend time at most of the tourist attractions and avoided from the peak hours to arrive home early. Enjoyed the itinerary and also super appreciate our guide: Dana💌 for the detailed guide and friendly service!🤟🏻🌷

For someone that comes from Singapore and has never seen snow or Ski before, this was the best experience I have ever had yet so far! Fujiyama ski resort is about 2hours away from Shinjuku and even though it’s a small ski world, you will appreciate it if you come from a hot country like myself! Everything about the services were amazing, the coaches are very detailed when conducting the training and would ensure that we at least know how to ski and stop before letting us roam around ourselves. The weather up at Fujiyama is also perfect, not super cold for anyone wondering, but cool enough to have a blast experience! Lastly, the timing given for us felt plenty, after training and lunch, we still have about 2.5hours left to ourselves, more than enough to take some photos and enjoy the scenery. If you are in Tokyo and would like to step out of the city for a day, this is the perfect day plan for you! :D

This was my second attempt to see Mt Fuji but my first time I went with another tour company. But this tour company took me to better spots. And what a great tour! We got so many great photos of Mt. Fuji….and we were so lucky that it was clear! My photos of Fuji and the Pagoda were worth the whole trip!!! Our guide, Luna, was the best! She was warm, filled with information, and showed us the best spots to take pictures. Her English was excellent and she was a great driver. The best part was that there were only 9 of us on the tour!!! Don’t hesitate…do this tour!

Although the forecast predicted cloudy skies and rain showers, we were incredibly fortunate to witness Mt. Fuji on a clear, sunny day—right from the Lawson store, which turned out to be the highlight of our trip. The autumn foliage added a breathtaking touch to the scenery, with vibrant colors painting the landscape. The hike up to the pagoda at Arakurayama Sengen Park was a challenge with its 397 steps, but the panoramic view at the top, including Mt. Fuji in the distance, made every step worth it. Due to time constraints, we missed one final spot on the itinerary, but overall, it was a wonderful and memorable tour. Our tour guide, Junsung Han, was incredibly detailed in his explanations, making every part of the journey informative and engaging. He was kind and considerate, always ensuring that even the elderly members of the group could comfortably keep up with the pace. His attentiveness and care truly made the tour smooth and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you, Junsung Han!

The driver from Harbin was very attentive and quick-witted. They proactively offered advice on points to note about the attractions I had chosen, and were also able to suggest more suitable alternatives when needed. They answered all my questions during the trip and, although they were a driver, they could easily act as a part-time tour guide.

Excellent day tour and save the time on public transport. Arakurayama park, Mount Fuji Ropeway and Oshino Hakkai.

We had the best day ever with our very knowledgeable and accommodating guide Hero!! There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer, and always with patience and a warm smile. His English is flawless so there was no language barrier at all. We had a couple of last minute requests also, which Hero arranged for us without any problems at all. Many thanks to Hero for this very memorable full day tour which we can highly recommend if you want to experience Mt Fuji, saké, shrines, waterfalls and much more in one eventful day.
