Sample Itineraries for an Iconic Mt. Fuji Area Tour

Below are a few sample itineraries to give you an idea of how a private, iconic Mt. Fuji area tour can flow.
This isn’t a strict schedule — I always adjust the route, timing, and stops depending on the weather, season, traffic, and what my guests feel like doing that day.

Classic Kawaguchiko & Oshino Route

This is a great all-around route that mixes classic views, easy walking, and local atmosphere.

• Oishi Park (Lake Kawaguchiko)
  A relaxed start with seasonal flowers and one of the most iconic Mt. Fuji lake views.
• Roadside Station (Tabi no Eki Kawaguchiko)
  A casual stop for local snacks, souvenirs, and a short break.
• Mt. Fuji View Lawson
  There are actually two Mt. Fuji Lawsons in the area, and I take you to the better one.
• Lunch
  I usually suggest a local restaurant based on your preferences — noodles, Japanese set meals, or something lighter.
• Oshino Hakkai
  A traditional village with crystal-clear spring water, thatched houses, and classic Mt. Fuji scenery.
• Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine
  A peaceful finish surrounded by tall cedar trees — calm, spiritual, and a nice contrast to the busier spots.

Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Saiko

Perfect for guests who want iconic photos and dramatic scenery.

• Chureito Pagoda
  One of the most famous Mt. Fuji viewpoints. Timing matters here, so I usually plan this carefully.
• Oishi Park (Lake Kawaguchiko)
  A second angle of Mt. Fuji with open lake views and seasonal colors.
• Lunch
  A relaxed break before heading into quieter, more traditional areas.
• Iyashi no Sato Nenba
  A restored traditional village with old farmhouses and beautiful views — very atmospheric.
• Ice Cave (Narusawa Ice Cave)
  A short underground walk through natural lava caves formed by past eruptions.

Calm & Nature-Focused Route | Lake Yamanaka

Ideal for guests who prefer fewer crowds and a slower, more relaxed pace.

• Oshino Hakkai (early morning visit)
  Although it’s one of the most popular spots in the area, visiting early allows us to enjoy the village before the crowds arrive. It’s a calm, refreshing start with traditional scenery and crystal-clear spring water.
• Lake Yamanaka
  Open space, wide lake views, and a different perspective of Mt. Fuji compared to Kawaguchiko. It often feels quieter and more spacious.
• Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine
  A peaceful shrine surrounded by nature — a gentle, reflective way to end the day.
• Optional drop-off: Mt. Fuji view day-use onsen
  To end the tour, I can drop you off at a day-use hot spring with views of Mt. Fuji — a perfect way to relax and enjoy the scenery at your own pace.
