Opt Mount Fuji Discoveries tour $300

Tokyo • Mount Fuji

Discover Kawaguchiko, the unique region surrounding Mount Fuji.
We’ll head to Shinjuku Station, where we’ll set off via motorcoach and drive to our first stop, Oshino Hakkai. We’ll arrive in Oshino, a small village in the Fuji Five Lakes region, and visit Oshino Hakkai—a series of eight sparkling ponds. Fed by the snow melt of Mount Fuji, these ponds are famous for their crystal-clear waters. As the snow melts and flows down the mountain’s slopes, the water is naturally filtered through porous layers of lava rock, resulting in extremely fresh spring water held in high esteem by the locals.
During our visit, we’ll explore the Hannoki Bayashi Shiryokan—a small open-air museum that encircles Oshino Hakkai’s largest pond.
Exhibits include a traditional farmhouse with its distinctive thatched roof. Inside, we’ll find displays of traditional farming tools and household items, as well as samurai armor and weapons.Read more
