Mount Fuji is Japan’s highest mountain, an active volcano and one of the country's most iconic symbols. It is renowned for its symmetrical, snow-capped peak. A sacred mountain in Japanese Shintoism, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013 in recognition of its role as a source of artistic inspiration. Join us on this day tour to experience the beauty and charm of Mount Fuji for yourself.

10:30 – Lake Yamanaka: The largest lake in the Fuji Five Lakes Area
Lake Yamanaka is one of the best places in Japan to see the breathtaking “Diamond Fuji” phenomenon, where the setting sun aligns perfectly with the peak of Mount Fuji, making it shine like a diamond. You can also feed the swans swimming in the lake.

Why not view Mount Fuji from a historic town? Gazing at Mount Fuji amidst the retro shops and nostalgic streets of the Showa era creates a harmonious and uniquely Japanese atmosphere.

12:00 Arakurayama Sengen Park: A Photographer’s Ultimate Mount Fuji Spot
At the end of a 398-step climb, you can see a stunning five-storey pagoda against the backdrop of Mount Fuji. Capturing them together creates one of the most iconic images of Japan. In spring, cherry blossoms add an authentic touch to the scene, while in autumn, vibrant red leaves provide a stunning contrast.

13:15 – Oshino Hakkai Ponds: These ponds are fed by the pure, filtered snowmelt of Mount Fuji.
This set of eight ponds is located in the small village of Oshino in the Fuji Five Lakes region. The eight ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji that filters down the mountain through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, resulting in very clear spring water that is revered by the locals.

However, the Lawson convenience store chain might be an even more familiar sight. Here, you can capture Mount Fuji in all its blue-and-white glory right behind a matching blue-and-white Lawson, creating a wildly popular social media photo spot.
