Explore the Scenic Beauty and Historic Landmarks Around Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi on a Bus Tour from Tokyo

Arakurayama Sengen Park, where you’ll climb to a vantage point with breathtaking views of the iconic five-tiered pagoda against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji. This picturesque spot is ideal for photos, showcasing the perfect harmony of traditional architecture and nature. It's also famous for its magnificent views during the cherry blossom season in early spring.

Next, Kawaguchiko Craft Park by the serene Lake Kawaguchi. Enjoy a delicious lunch (optional choices include Wagyu steak, Houtou noodles, Vegan Curry Rice or Kobe Beef Hot Pot) before strolling along the lakeshore, where Mt. Fuji’s reflection creates a peaceful scene.

Continue to Oishi Park, known for its seasonal flowers and stunning views of the lake. Finally, visit Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba, a traditional village by Lake Saiko, where you can explore preserved thatched-roof houses and experience Japan’s rural culture.

    It was a very well organised and run tour. We were able to see the Mt Fuji at all the viewing points with great stops and the optional lunch was yum! Chen and our driver were both wonderful and very helpful. The bus was very comfortable and we had the opportunity to get off the bus regularly for food, water and a bathroom. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Great tour! The itinerary was just the sort of thing i wanted - being able to get some stunning photographs of Mt. Fuji with various natural or historical backdrops. The bus made it easy to get between these stops, and the time allotted to each stop was more than generous. I have some breathing difficulties, which can make exercise difficult, on top of being at the tail end of my very walking heavy holiday and i still had more than enough time to slowly climb all 400 stairs to the pagoda - and spend time at the shrine at the bottom of the hill! Our tour guide was excellent, and made sure to highlight interesting things in the areas we were stopping off at and offered to take photos for people. If you take this tour, i highly recommend buying the optional lunch, as there didnt look to be a lot of other restaurants around the area where the lunch stop was, and the tour guide himself recommended the nearby convenience stores for those who didnt purchase the lunch. I personally thoroughly enjoyed my kobe beef lunch
