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.

    Great tour and multiple stop. We had Yuki as a guide, who was wonderful! Sign up for the meal, we had the noodle and it was really tasty! Plenty of time on different spots! You will love it!

    This was a most wonderful trip. We booked really late -- the evening before, on a whim, on our second to the last day of a week-long trip to Tokyo. Booking was a breeze. Meet-up details were exceedingly comprehensible, and the bus showed up punctually. And the tour itself -- it was such a joy. The best part was the place where they took us for a lunch and there was a nearby spot in the lake that had not many tourists in it: practically deserted. So there's lots of opportunities to take photos and to meditate. The traditional village part was also memorable. Special shout out to Chen, our tour guide -- classy, gentle, empathetic, and knowledgeable. Her soft touch and inner calm really shines through. 10/10 would take the this tour again within the year when i come back with the rest of my family, and would recommend to friends.

    Lucky to see the beauty of Mt Fuji weather was good but for most of the places we went it was not amazing though our tour guide Eric went out and beyond what he can do to make our trip memorable. It was kind of chilly to enjoy the rest of the places. Our tour guide is commendable even helping us to get our first train ride in Tokyo. Very impressive. I would commend him for his dedication
