Chichibunomiya Memorial Park

Having lived in this region ourselves, we may recommend a longer route which would take us over the Hakone turnpike, where on a day of no low clouds, you can see Ashinoko at the summit, with Fuji majestically towering behind, after which we will drop into Ashinoko town, which includes a beautiful temple to visit. Our tours are best enjoyed during good weather, but we realize some guests are constrained by available time. In the event the forecast is for cloudy or wet weather, don't worry - we can still tailor an unforgettable & enjoyable trip for you. There are beautiful temples and waterfalls, we can visit on our way around the lakes, and also great museums. There are so many beautiful & unforgettable places to visit. We are also very familiar with the best photographic locations, and are happy to accompany & take pictures for you. Our Fuji lakes touring route takes then us through Gotemba, our guests usually enjoy a stop at stunning Chichibu No Mia.
