Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

This is a one-day bus tour (departing from Shinjuku) that takes you around Mount Fuji's photo spots in Shizuoka Prefecture. Since you'll visit Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha, the head shrine of all the Sengen shrines across Japan that worship Mount Fuji as a deity, this tour allows you to learn about the true essence of Mount Fuji beyond just the scenery, even in bad weather. You can enjoy Mount Fuji from various angles. Experience the sensation of climbing the spiral slope and experience it as if you were actually summiting Mount Fuji! Mount Fuji is introduced from multiple angles through the four pillars of "protecting it forever," "communicating joyfully," "interacting widely," and "exploring it deeply." This tour allows you to learn about Mount Fuji and gain a deeper understanding, even in bad weather.

  • Obuchi Sasaba (mid-April to May is the best time to see the fresh greenery)
    Enjoy the scenery of Mt. Fuji and the tea fields, a specialty of Shizuoka, that have been preserved thanks to the passionate efforts of local volunteers, as well as the original Japanese landscape that we want to preserve and the future of tea that we want to connect!
    For over half a century, three farms cultivated tea here, creating a beautiful, pristine Japanese landscape. However, over time, maintenance has become increasingly difficult. Local volunteers, feeling that something had to be done to address the situation and that they wanted to preserve this bamboo field landscape for future generations, led to the founding of the Obuchi 2-chome Sasaba Landscape Preservation Society. They believe that simply preserving the bamboo field will not be enough to ensure its future. They strive to ensure that visitors feel "glad I came, I want to show this scenery to others," and that they "fall in love with the bamboo field." The site received the Shizuoka Prefecture Landscape Award in 2009, and its landscape has been used in many places, including the Shizuoka Prefectural Governor's Office, Mt. Fuji Shizuoka Airport, and JR Central's Shizuoka Prefecture announcements. The bamboo field now attracts over 5,000 photography enthusiasts annually.
  • Shiraito Falls and Otodome Falls Shiraito Falls is a 150m wide, curved cliff-like waterfall. With a few exceptions, most of its water is sourced from springs in Mt. Fuji, and it's a refreshing spot to cool down in the summer, surrounded by negative ions! The way the water flows like white silk threads between the rock walls is worthy of its name, Shiraito, and you can enjoy its feminine beauty and gentle scenery. Meanwhile, at Otono Falls, a large amount of water forms a column and falls from a 25m high cliff, creating a resounding cascading sound. This waterfall is located next to Shiraito Falls on the main stream of the Shiba River. You can enjoy two waterfalls at opposite ends of the spectrum.
  • The Mount Fuji World Heritage Center in Shizuoka Prefecture is a base facility that "protects, preserves, develops and ensures the transmission to future generations" of World Heritage sites, as stipulated in the "World Heritage Convention," which is the basis for World Heritage sites, and also has academic research functions. From the hall and outdoor terrace on the top floor, you can enjoy a view of Mount Fuji unobstructed by surrounding structures.
  • Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine (cherry blossoms are at their best from late March to early April)
    Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine is the head temple of all Sengen shrines across Japan, which worship Mount Fuji as a god. Wakutama Pond within the shrine grounds was formed when rain and snow that fell on Mount Fuji became groundwater, flowed between the lava layers of the Fujinomiya lava flow, and gushed out from the end of the lava flow to form the pond.
  • Fujisan Yume no Ohashi Bridge is a bridge on the road that connects National Route 139 and National Route 1 in Tadehara, Fuji City. From the bridge, you can get a direct view of Mount Fuji without being obstructed by buildings or power lines. The stairs on the bridge look as if they are leading up to Mount Fuji, making it a popular photo spot.
  • Lunchtime: From the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center to Mount Fuji Hongu Sengen Taisha, participants will walk independently (approximately 5 minutes). The planned visit is 150 minutes, so participants will need to provide their own lunch. At the Mount Fuji Kanda River Rakuza restaurant in front of the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center, you can purchase meals such as shirasu (whitebait) and yakisoba, as well as souvenirs such as sweets made with milk from the Asagiri Plateau. Enjoy your meal while admiring the magnificent Mount Fuji. (Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays) Additionally, Omiya Yokocho, located between Mount Fuji Hongu Sengen Taisha and the Shizuoka Prefecture Mount Fuji World Heritage Center, is a relaxing space reminiscent of a temple town, offering a moment of relaxation and peace. Enjoy Fujinomiya specialties such as Fujinomiya yakisoba and gelato. Enjoy your own snacks as you stroll around.
