Product Info
You have seen Mt. Fuji from Kawaguchiko for two days, but do you know what is hidden on the other side of the mountain?
Shizuoka Prefecture, at the western foot of Mt. Fuji, is home to the head shrine of all Sengen shrines in Japan, the World Heritage-listed Shiraito Falls, and the boundless Asagiri Plateau. These attractions are not far from Kawaguchiko, but using public transportation requires multiple transfers, which can take up an entire day. This sightseeing bus departs from Kawaguchiko, crosses the western foot of Mt. Fuji, and takes you to all the spots that are hardest to connect on your own in just one day.
The journey begins at the source of Mt. Fuji worship. With a thousand-year history, Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, with its vermilion shrine buildings and the clear Wakutama Pond, is the starting point for prayers for countless travelers. Nearby, the World Heritage Center, designed in the shape of an inverted Mt. Fuji, tells the story of the mountain through modern architecture. At lunchtime, don't forget to try a plate of Fujinomiya Yakisoba, a local favorite.
In the afternoon, follow the water veins of Mt. Fuji. Hundreds of streams of Shiraito Falls cascade down the rock wall—this is the subsoil water that has been sleeping underground for years after the snow on Mt. Fuji melted. Then, arrive at Asagiri Plateau, nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, and enjoy fresh milk from a Shizuoka dairy farm, accompanied by the grasslands and Mt. Fuji.
In the evening, return to Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba, take a slow walk among the thatched-roof houses, and watch the sunset on Mt. Fuji to end the day before easily taking the bus back to Kawaguchiko.
No need to study transfer routes or worry about the last bus. The tour departs with just 1 person, and there is a Chinese audio guide on the bus to help you learn about each stop. On this day, see Mt. Fuji from a different perspective.
Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine: As the head shrine of over 1,300 Sengen shrines in Japan, it is one of the most important shrines for Mt. Fuji worship and has a history of over 1,000 years.

Fuji, showing different appearances in each season.
