Itinerary
Perched on a hillside in Fujiyoshida, the Chureito Pagoda offers one of Japan's most celebrated views of Mount Fuji. The climb up the stone staircase rewards visitors with a panoramic perspective that combines traditional architecture with the natural grandeur of the surrounding landscape.
Oshino Hakkai is a cluster of eight spring-fed ponds recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for their remarkable clarity and resident rare Koi fish. The site also includes preserved Samurai houses, a local museum, and vendors offering region-grown fruits and traditional sweets.
Situated at the northern base of Mount Fuji, this historic shrine complex encompasses a main hall, multiple torii gates, and auxiliary structures within a serene forested setting. It has served as a spiritual gateway for Fuji pilgrims for centuries and remains an active place of worship.
The second-largest of the Fuji Five Lakes, Lake Kawaguchi offers a scenic boat experience with unobstructed views of Mount Fuji across the water. Visitors can select between a speed boat ride or a leisurely cruise depending on their preference.
Located along the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchi, Oishi Park is known for its seasonal flower displays and a clear, wide-angle view of Mount Fuji. The park is also home to a popular local ice cream vendor.
This reconstructed traditional Japanese village on the shores of Lake Saiko was rebuilt to preserve the cultural heritage lost in a 1966 landslide. Visitors can walk among thatched-roof farmhouses, observe traditional crafts in practice, and take in views of Mount Fuji from within a peaceful, historically informed setting.
