Things to do in Yamanashi Prefecture

We truly loved our Fuji tour today with our driver and guide, Hong Jian. He was very punctual and picked us up right on time at our hotel, which made the start of the day smooth and stress-free. Although we didn’t get to see Mt. Fuji due to heavy snow, we really appreciated how accommodating Jian was in bringing us to alternative places that we could still enjoy. The experience was absolutely magical, and the scenery was beautiful in its own way. On our way back, we had to reroute because the main highway was closed, so we took a longer path with steep and slippery roads. Despite this, we felt completely at ease because Jian was very professional and constantly reassured us that everything would be fine. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would definitely book again, hopefully next time with our kids❤️❄️

This is a perfect tour for tour enjoy Mt. Fuji and other nearby sights in just a day. The team was communicative. Everything is smooth. Penguin (our tour guide) is very nice, helpful and patient. This is highly recommended.

Such a smooth and memorable trip ✨ Booking through Klook made everything hassle-free. Loved the views, the timing was perfect and the guide ( Keiko!! ) was super helpful, friendly and funny. Highly recommend for anyone visiting! see you again keiko!! 🥹

All i can say is this tour was entirely amazing from the start of the tour until drop off. every places we visited are beautiful most especially having the opportunity to see Mt. Fuji. It was a dream come true. We also had an delicious lunch (i ordered the ell and my husband ordered the wagyu - oishi). Thanks to our super supportive, very informative and friendly captain Jack for making things possible and wonderful. will definitely come back!

cold night shouldn’t let us wait 2 1/2 hours for the fireworks is too cold at the site. the tour guide didn’t explain much about Mount Fuji. otherswise is a good trip the fireworks is fabulous. bus is abit old and the seat are cramp and small maybe Japanese are small size.

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. 👍🏻

if you're looking to take beautiful pics of Fuji then this is it, u don't have to worry about transportation, our driver Vincent was awesome,very helpful and accommodating, letting is know when a picture opportunity is coming up on the way to a location, there's also a nice stop with a museum and several with food, deserts and coffee, even with the last minute itennary change it was great, just be read to walk up 400 steps at one point. my wife took the pretty pictures but I'll include just mine

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:

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!
