◆Yoshida Fire Festival, one of Japan's three most unusual festivals.
○A magnificent and fantastical festival that signals the end of summer and the closing of climbing season for Mt. Fuji.
○This is a fire-extinguishing ceremony to calm the eruption of Mount Fuji, and it is designated as an important intangible folk cultural property of Japan. It is said to be based on the story of Konohanasakuya-hime no Mikoto, the deity enshrined at Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, who gave birth safely amidst raging flames.
〇~Lighting of the Giant Torches~ More than 70 giant torches, each about 3 meters tall, are lit simultaneously. The town's main street is transformed into a "sea of fire" for about 2 km, and the sight of it painting the night sky red is breathtaking.
*We will be staying around Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine for approximately 3 hours. You can enjoy the summer festival atmosphere with food and drink stalls throughout the town. (Expected arrival time: around 5 PM, torch lighting: around 6:30 PM)
◆Enjoy the "King of Grapes," Kyoho!
Enjoy all-you-can-eat Kyoho grape picking in Yamanashi, the fruit kingdom! Savor freshly picked grapes. *Depending on the weather and growing conditions, the grapes may be served on a plate or provided as a souvenir.
◆Mount Fuji's 5th Station above the clouds! A spectacular walk at an altitude of 2,305m!
The 5th station of Mt. Fuji is pleasantly cool with an average temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. Known as the "boundary between heaven and earth," it lies above the treeline. On a clear day, you can enjoy views of Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka. Enjoy visiting Komitake Shrine and doing some shopping.
*In the event of a closure of the Fuji Subaru Line due to bad weather, etc., we will direct you to the Fuji World Heritage Center instead of the 5th Station of Mt. Fuji.
