Itinerary

This is a typical itinerary for your experience.

Stop 1: Arakurayama Sengen Park (Chureito Pagoda)

A stunning panoramic viewpoint overlooking Mt. Fuji with the iconic red pagoda in the foreground. This is one of Japan’s most photographed locations, especially beautiful during cherry blossom and autumn seasons. A short walk up the hill rewards you with unforgettable views

Stop 2: Lake Kawaguchi (Kawaguchiko)

One of the Fuji Five Lakes and the easiest place to enjoy wide, unobstructed views of Mt. Fuji. The lakeside promenade offers cafés, shops, peaceful scenery, and fantastic photo spots any time of the year. Ideal for relaxed walking and enjoying nature.

Stop 3: Oishi Park

A beautiful flower park along Lake Kawaguchi. Seasonal flowers bloom throughout the year with Mt. Fuji rising behind them, creating postcard-perfect scenery. In summer, the lavender fields are especially popular.

Stop 4: Oshino Hakkai Village

A traditional village famous for its crystal-clear spring ponds fed by Mt. Fuji’s melted snow. Enjoy charming thatched-roof houses, small local shops, traditional snacks, and unique viewpoints with Mt. Fuji framed behind old Japanese architecture.

Stop 5: Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nemba

Iyashi-no-Sato Village is a charming open-air museum and cultural village that showcases traditional thatched-roof houses with a stunning backdrop of Mount Fuji. Once a farming village, it has been transformed into a historical and cultural site where visitors can experience traditional Japanese crafts, kimono dressing, and local cuisine. Each house serves as a workshop, gallery, or shop, offering unique handmade souvenirs and experiences like pottery and calligraphy. The seasonal beauty of the village, from cherry blossoms in spring to golden autumn leaves, adds to its picturesque appeal. With its blend of history, culture, and breathtaking scenery.

Stop 6: Owakudani Valley (Hakone Ropeway)

A dramatic volcanic valley with active sulfur vents and steaming hot springs. Reach it via the Hakone Ropeway (optional). Try the famous black eggs, boiled in natural hot springs — legend says eating one adds seven years to your life!

Stop 7: Hakone Shrine (Torii Gate on the Lake)

Visit the iconic red torii gate standing on Lake Ashi’s shore — one of the most famous Instagram spots in Japan. The shrine itself is located in a peaceful forest setting and offers a beautiful blend of nature and spirituality.
