FAQ
Mount Fuji is located in the Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures, approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. Hakone, Oshino Hakkai, and Oishi Park are popular sightseeing spots in the broader Fuji Five Lakes region or its vicinity. Oshino Hakkai is a traditional village at the base of Mount Fuji, famous for its spring water pools. Oishi Park provides stunning panoramic views across Lake Kawaguchiko with Mount Fuji as a backdrop. Hakone is a resort town known for its hot springs and, on clear days, offers views of Mount Fuji.
From Oshino Hakkai, visitors can enjoy picturesque views of Mount Fuji towering over traditional Japanese thatched-roof houses and serene spring-fed ponds, with the mountain often beautifully reflected in the clear waters. At Oishi Park, situated on the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko, you'll find a wide, open vista of Mount Fuji directly across the lake, frequently framed by seasonal flowers and plants. Both locations provide distinct and memorable photographic opportunities of the majestic volcano.
Mount Fuji's last eruption occurred from 1707 to 1708, known as the Hoei eruption. This event lasted for several weeks, creating a new crater and spreading ash as far as Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Despite the long period since its last eruption, Mount Fuji is still classified as an active stratovolcano by geologists. However, it is closely monitored, and there are currently no immediate signs of another eruption, allowing visitors to safely enjoy its beauty from the surrounding areas.
Mount Fuji is famous for its iconic, symmetrical cone shape, which is instantly recognizable and has been depicted in countless artworks, poems, and photographs throughout Japanese history. As Japan's highest peak, it is considered one of the country's three sacred mountains, holding deep cultural and spiritual importance. Its majestic presence and the stunning natural beauty of its surrounding region make it a powerful symbol of Japan's landscape and heritage, attracting millions of visitors annually.
During a visit to Hakone, part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, visitors can typically explore a variety of attractions. Highlights often include taking a scenic cruise on Lake Ashi, where on clear days, Mount Fuji can be seen reflected on the water's surface, often with the iconic torii gate of Hakone Shrine in the foreground. Other activities may involve visiting volcanic hot springs, admiring art at the Hakone Open-Air Museum, or experiencing a ride on the Hakone Ropeway for aerial views of the area.
The Korean guide on this tour provides comprehensive assistance and commentary in Korean throughout the journey. Beyond navigation and logistical support, the guide shares insightful information about the destinations, local culture, and history of the Mount Fuji area, Hakone, Oshino Hakkai, and Oishi Park. A unique feature of this tour is that the guide also offers professional photography services using a DSLR camera, helping guests capture high-quality photos and create lasting memories of their trip.
The bus tour typically departs from a designated meeting point in Shinjuku, Tokyo. This central location is chosen for its convenience and accessibility via public transport, making it easy for participants to reach from various parts of the city. Specific details about the exact departure point, including the address and any identifiable landmarks, are usually provided in the tour confirmation details to ensure a smooth start to the day's journey to Hakone, Oshino Hakkai, and Oishi Park.
The best season for clear views of Mount Fuji is generally during autumn and winter (October to February), when the air is dry and clear, reducing haze. In autumn, Oishi Park is famous for its 'Kochia' plants turning vibrant red, creating a stunning contrast with Mount Fuji. Spring (March to May) brings cherry blossoms to the area, while summer (June to September) offers lush greenery. Each season provides unique scenic beauty around Oishi Park and Oshino Hakkai, but for unobstructed Fuji views, cooler months are often preferred.
