Looking up at the summit from the closest distance, one can feel its majestic beauty. On a clear, cloudless day, the view overlooking the surrounding scenery, Lake Kawaguchi, and more is breathtaking. When shrouded in mist, one can overlook a magnificent sea of clouds.
【New Kurashima Sengen Park】
This is a superb spot for panoramic views of Mount Fuji. The area is beautiful in summer with its lush greenery, autumn with its vibrant red leaves, and winter with its snow-covered landscapes. In addition to enjoying the stunning views of Mount Fuji, you can also overlook the charming cityscape of Fujiyoshida.
【Free time to explore Lake Kawaguchi】
Take the Kachikachi Ropeway along the shores of Lake Kawaguchi and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. The observation deck at an altitude of 1075 meters offers the best panoramic view of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. On a clear day, you can even see the Southern Alps. At the summit, there's a clock tower called "The Bell of Heaven," where it's said that ringing it will grant your wishes.
※In the event of force majeure causing the cable car to stop operating, or excessive crowds preventing passengers from boarding the cable car as scheduled, the itinerary will be changed to the Kawaguchiko shore.

【Owakudani】
Owakudani, located in Hakone City in the southeastern corner of Mount Fuji, is a famous tourist attraction in Hakone. This popular tourist destination is the crater remnant formed by a massive volcanic eruption on the northern slope of Mount Kami, approximately 4,000 years ago, at the end of Hakone's volcanic activity. Most of the spring water in Owakudani is poisonous, hence its nickname "Great Hell." It wasn't until Emperor Meiji visited the area in 1876 that it was renamed Owakudani. Owakudani's famous specialty is its black-colored onsen tamago (hot spring eggs), which, according to ancient legend, can extend one's life by seven years.
Lake Ashi
Lake Ashi is a volcanic lake located in the Hakone Mountains. Formed approximately 3,000 years ago, it is the largest lake in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The image of the torii gate reflecting the silhouette of Mount Fuji on the lake's surface is truly breathtaking.
【Michelin-starred Shuzenji Onsen Town】
Strolling along forest paths, stopping to enjoy a thousand-year-old foot bath, standing on the Lovers' Bridge, gazing at the Katsura River—its winding course, the babbling brook, and the crisp birdsong in the bamboo grove—instantly transports you to a serene atmosphere, where time seems to stand still, a comforting feeling that makes you never want to leave. Shuzenji, a two-star tourist destination in the world-renowned Michelin Green Guide Japan, is located in the heart of the Izu Peninsula. It boasts the oldest hot springs on the peninsula and is the setting for Kawabata Yasunari's "The Dancing Girl of Izu."
