Experience Mt. Fuji: The Ultimate Day Trip

Escape the bustle of Tokyo for a journey to Japan's most iconic landmark. A day trip to Mt. Fuji offers more than just a view of the mountain; it's an immersion into the scenic countryside of the Five Lakes region. Whether you choose a private chartered car for flexibility or a guided bus tour for convenience, you'll ascend the Fuji Subaru Line to the 5th Station (weather permitting) for breathtaking panoramas above the clouds. Most itineraries also explore the cultural gems at the mountain's base, including the crystal-clear ponds of Oshino Hakkai, the historic Chureito Pagoda, or a relaxing cruise on Lake Kawaguchi. With options to include Gotemba Premium Outlets for shopping or a soak in a traditional Onsen, this experience captures the essence of Japan's natural beauty in a single, unforgettable day.

Highlight of our Japan trip!

We booked the private driver option and it was worth every penny. Our driver, Ken, was fantastic and knew exactly where to go to get the best photos away from the crowds. We were lucky with a clear day!

Great day, long drive

The scenery was beautiful. The bus was comfortable and the guide was funny. The traffic back to Tokyo was heavy, so we got back later than expected, but that's not the tour's fault.

Perfect winter views

Visibility was 100%. The 5th station was closed due to snow, but the alternative spots the guide took us to were even better. Loved Oshino Hakkai.

Efficient and fun

Took the bus tour with the cruise. Everything ran on time. The matcha ice cream at the lake is a must!

Good value

A solid day trip. The lunch provided was a nice bento box. The stop at the outlet mall was a bit short for shoppers, but good for a quick look.
