On March 27, 2026, I took a day trip to Lake Kawaguchiko, hoping to see the cherry blossoms during the season, but they hadn't bloomed yet 🫠. The weather was decent, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see the full view of Mount Fuji. I was very lucky that day to have a female tour guide, Xu Jin, who provided detailed explanations at each scenic spot and was incredibly polite and wonderful. When we arrived at Arakurayama Sengen Park, we could see Mount Fuji. Due to time constraints, I didn't climb the five-story pagoda, but on the way back, I bought a beautiful Mount Fuji bag and strawberries from a vendor. We had lunch at Oshino Hakkai, which was a small park. At Lake Kawaguchiko, we took the cable car to the top, where we could see the entire lake and Mount Fuji. We also briefly explored the shopping street. I look forward to seeing the complete Mount Fuji on a day with better weather next time.
Departed on 02.06, the weather was explosively and incredibly good. All along the way, Director Xu kept saying it would snow the next day, so lucky! It was a weekday, Friday, and the itinerary was perfectly timed to avoid crowds. First, we took the cable car to see a super, super, super clear view of Mount Fuji, with almost no waiting in line. Then we went to the internet-famous Lawson, which wasn't too crowded today. Next, we visited Oshino Hakkai after the peak mealtime rush. Even in the afternoon, Mount Fuji was still clear 🩷. The last stop was Fujisan Sengen Shrine. The Goshuin stamp is limited-edition and winter-exclusive, super beautiful! I climbed the exhausting 400 steps 😆. There were no cherry blossoms, so the scenery was somewhat different 😅. But Mount Fuji was still spectacular~ 🗻 Thank you, Director Xu, for starting to explain the history from the moment we got on the train at Tokyo Station. You were very professional, and I absorbed a lot of knowledge. You also explained each attraction very carefully. It was so lucky to meet Director Xu~
The day started our a bit cloudy so we weren’t sure if we would see Mt Fuji at all but we got some great views of it throughout the day! Our guide was great, friendly & very informative! We left Tokyo station a bit later than most tours, around 9am but it worked out well & the trip there & back was very smooth. The stops we made were all lovely, beautiful views & scenery! Loved the whole day, was well organised & highly recommend this your!
This one-day tour of Mount Fuji, led by the excellent guide Ms.谨许 was a delightful experience. Despite the full view of the mountain being partially obscured, the itinerary was rich and varied, making for a truly enjoyable day trip.
FOUR stops! feel like this was the best tour ever! Will was great. Tour said Chinese but Will also gave tour in English! it was an amazing day! so worth it. Great service. We did get cable car included as part of tour. I highly recommend!!!!
our tour guide Sakuragi was very very helpful and friendly, he gave us enough time to enjoy every spot, he bought us a dessert and even though the weather didn’t let us see Mt. Fuji the tour was a lot a fun. Sakuragi really knows the history and details of the places we visited. it was a looot of fun
The weather is extremely nice today and we are so lucky to have so many beautiful and awesome view of Mount Fuji at every single spots. Our tour guide Yan-san is very professional and helpful. The journey is well planned with sufficient amount of time given and it is absolutely worth joining.
🌸 The trip to Mount Fuji led by Sakuragi tour guide is wonderful! 🌸 Starting at 9 a.m., we started a day trip under the arrangement of Sakuragi tour guide. The first stop was Oshino Hakkai. The blue and clear spring water here makes people feel extremely peaceful. The bottom of the pool is clearly visible and fish swim leisurely in it. The tour guide Sakuragi introduced us to the historical background of each pool, allowing us to not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also understand the magical natural landscape formed by the snow water of Mount Fuji. The natural atmosphere of Oshino Hakkai is intoxicating and a wonderful start to our day. Next, we came to the LAWSON convenience store at 13:00, which is a check-in attraction in front of Kawaguchiko Station. The tour guide Sakuragi specially recommended the photo location here and reminded us of our safety when taking photos. Although the scenery in front of the convenience store is simple, it is even more special with Mount Fuji in the background, making it another highlight of the trip. Then at 13:30, we arrived at Tianshangshan Park. From here, you can take the cable car to the mountaintop observatory, where you can have a breathtaking view of Lake Kawaguchi and Mount Fuji. Visited Tanuki Tea House and Rabbit Shrine, these small attractions added a lot of fun. The Celestial Bell in the park is an excellent photo spot, adding a lot of joy to this trip. The last stop is Sengen Park at 15:00, which is known as "one of the 21 places that photographers around the world must visit in their lifetime", whether it is the cherry blossoms in spring, the new green in summer, the red leaves in autumn, or the snow scene in winter , are all unforgettable. Our tour guide Sakuragi carefully arranged the best viewing position for us, so that we can not only enjoy the magnificent scenery of Mount Fuji, but also overlook the beautiful street view of Fujiyoshida City. This stop was the perfect end to our day. Sakuragi Tour Guide's professional knowledge and attentive service made the entire trip smooth and colorful. The arrangement of each scenic spot is just right, fully displaying the beauty and culture of the Mount Fuji area. Highly recommended to friends who want to experience Mount Fuji and surrounding attractions in depth!
This is my first time going to Tokyo and fortunately saw the breathtaking views, which is so delightful. And the guide Ms. Xu was professional and told us a lot about the history and culture of the attractions, the atmosphere was so comfortable. Also the guide buy us beverages and icecreams at Lawson, so great! Recommend this agency!
A trip to Mt. Fuji with a heart ㅠㅅㅠ But Mt. Fuji was a little visible from Oshino Hakkai... I was worried because the guide was Chinese, but our guide, Mr. Ohashi, is fluent in Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and English, so our family was able to enjoy the tour in a fun and informative way! Thank you. I hope many Koreans will apply too!~~
