Things to do in Yamanashi Prefecture

Choosing Gogoday Trip for this Mount Fuji tour was definitely a stroke of genius. It was a fulfilling itinerary that allowed me to see all the key attractions of Mount Fuji, which I had always wanted to visit, in just one day. The overall value for money of the package exceeded my expectations, so I was very satisfied throughout the trip. The biggest luck of this tour was meeting Uehara, our guide. He took such good care of us from the beginning to the end of the tour, and above all, he was such a fluent and entertaining speaker that even the travel time was enjoyable and never boring. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of the area and witty remarks, I was able to not only see the scenery but also experience the atmosphere of Japan more deeply. The tour course was also perfect. I was moved to be able to capture the iconic landscape of Japan at a glance at Arakurayama Sengen Park, and the street in front of the Hikawa Clock Shop was full of unique sensibilities, making it perfect for taking pictures. The transparent ponds of Oshino Hakkai, which we visited next, created a mysterious atmosphere, and Lawson Fujikawaguchiko Town Hall Branch, which we visited last, was enough to enjoy the most trendy and stylish Mount Fuji view these days. The meal provided during the tour was also very impressive. I usually don't expect much from package tour meals, but this time the food was so delicious that I was able to fill my stomach happily. With delicious food, a perfect itinerary, and Uehara's thoughtful consideration, this tour will remain one of the best trips of my life. I was surprised that I could experience this level of service at a reasonable price, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Mount Fuji. I would like to thank Uehara again for giving me the best happiness within the allotted time.

Amazing tour! We had Andy as our guid, truly hats off to Andy he was an amazing guide, told us very interesting things about the whole of Japan. We went to so many iconic great places! I definetly recommend this tour!

Keiko was leading our tour group. She did an incredible job keeping the group together by keeping track where everyone is, communicating concisely, and sharing her knowledge. The knowledge throughout the tour was good to know with visuals being shared in the group chat. Sharing pictures and information in the group chat (e.g. time to be back when sightseeing) was just amazing to have in case you’ve forgotten. A reliable tour guide and I enjoyed seeing everything in the itinerary in person because she encouraged punctuality in everyone that we got to see all the spots and even had extra time to stay when we could. Highly recommend this tour and having her as a tour guide when looking around Mount Fuji for the first time!

i had a great time with our tour guide Belle. She was so nice and patient with us. she never urge us to hurry but all the participants were on time. I don't usually join group tours because I feel like I don't get enough time to enjoy the area. However, this tour is well- paced. You get to take fab photos and enjoy the place at the same time without always hurrying. I recommend this tour for a visit to Mt. Fuji.

We had a wonderful day tour with Mr Alex as our guide and driver. The pre-tour instructions were clear and pickup was right on time, which made the start of the day smooth and stress-free. Mr Alex was friendly, professional, and a very safe driver throughout the journey — plus, he’s easy on the eyes too! 😁 Our first stop was Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine. The climb can be a little challenging at the beginning, but it’s absolutely manageable We were given about an hour to explore, which was sufficient if you pace yourself and come prepared. Next, we headed to Oshino Hakkai. It was a pleasant stop with lovely scenery. Our final stop was Gotemba Premium Outlets. While the 2-hour duration felt a bit short — especially after queuing for food — we only managed to cover part of the outlet. I’d recommend planning your shopping route in advance to make the most of the time. Overall, it was a well-organised and enjoyable tour, made even better by Mr Alex’s warm personality. 👍🏻

Jack was is a jack of all trades! He was an oustanding tour guide, helpful and very down to earth! The tour was amazing we didnt spend too little time at each spot and not too long too! It was just right! Would definitely recommend 10/10

Our guide Fred was very attentive and even helped us take pictures. The itinerary was followed and we were able to get to each location without any problems. Fred gave good suggestions for picture taking spots and other useful recommendations. Would highly recommend this experience.

definitely more worth it to come here with a bus driver than to take the train to and fro. Guide ensured everyone gathers on time. though the time spent at Oshino Hakkai and the Hikawa Clock shop is insufficient, this is something the guide can’t do anything about. overall, still worth it if you’re just keen on seeing the main attractions around mt fuji!

Fuji-Q Highland is an amazing amusement park with easy access by train and a stunning, privileged view of Mount Fuji, which makes the experience even more special. The park gets quite crowded during the day, and waiting times for the main attractions can be long, especially for the roller coasters. My visit was focused on the coasters, and it was absolutely worth it. I started with Eejanaika, the park’s main attraction, and it was simply incredible. I had visited Fuji-Q as a teenager, and riding it again brought back great memories from my school days around 2005. Fujiyama and Takabisha also had long lines, but both were intense, thrilling, and totally worth the wait. I finished with Zokka, which had a much shorter wait and was a fun and smooth ride to enjoy the course. A must-visit park for roller coaster lovers, combining adrenaline, nostalgia, and breathtaking scenery. facilities:
