Arakurayama Sengen Park is renowned for its iconic view of Mount Fuji against the backdrop of the Chureito Pagoda, especially stunning during cherry blossom season. The park offers a perfect blend of cultural landmarks and natural beauty. It takes about 2 hours to travel back to the drop off point.
Walk along the Shimoyoshida Honcho Street, behind the charming signs, lanterns, and many electric wires lining the street, you can see Mount Fuji. It's a perfect nostalgic lane for those who love capturing Japan’s vintage small-town charm.
This quick photo and refreshment stop offers your first postcard view of Mt. Fuji looming over the quiet town of Fujikawaguchiko. With the iconic Lawson convenience store in the foreground, it's a surprisingly popular spot among photographers seeking that perfect balance of everyday life and majestic nature.
Lake Kawaguchi, part of the Fuji Five Lakes, is renowned for its clear, reflective waters that offer stunning views of Mount Fuji. It's a popular destination for boating, fishing, and enjoying cherry blossoms in spring.
Oishi Park, overlooking Lake Kawaguchi, is famed for its spectacular views of Mount Fuji and seasonal floral displays, especially the lush lavender fields in summer. It's a prime spot for photography and leisurely strolls.
Named for its elegant, thread-like streams of water, Shiraito Falls is one of Japan’s most beautiful waterfalls and a designated national scenic spot. Water gently flows from a curved basalt cliff in fine streams, creating a curtain of white silk cascading down from 20 meters high. The walk to the falls is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a peaceful retreat in any season. At the entrance, visitors can enjoy simple lunch options such as soba noodles, local snacks, or soft-serve ice cream while listening to the soothing sound of the falls. （Simple lunch break at own expense is included）
Obuchi Sasaba is a tranquil green tea plantation offering one of the most breathtaking and serene views of Mt. Fuji. This scenic spot has gained fame for its postcard-worthy perspective: rows of emerald tea bushes leading toward the snow-capped mountain under a clear blue sky. It's a hidden gem perfect for photography, particularly during early spring or summer when the tea fields are vibrant. The peaceful atmosphere and expansive landscape make it a favorite among nature lovers and those seeking a quiet moment with Japan’s iconic peak.
Amazing tour! Pictures don't do its justice! It's so inspiring ! Views are incredible and the flower ice cream too! Couldn't be happier with our tour guide Jun who did a great job on keeping us on track and being polite and accommodating with everyone . This will be one you will never forget
Goldie was kind, helpful and energetic. Took wonderful photos and speaks several languages. One of a kind experience.
The planning and preparation of the trip was well communicated in a kind and friendly manner. Golddy, our agent, representative was very helpful from the outset and throughout the day. The trip was well timed, and detailed instructions were given at each step of the journey.
The tour was awesome! Luckily, we went on a clear day and the pictures turned out great. It was a lot of walking so definately be sure to wear good shoes!
Great photo tour in the surrounding areas of Mount Fuji. Beautiful waterfalls, green tea fields, and scenic views of Mount Fuji before it got too cloudy.
Very amazing experience travelling around mount fuji and so many beautiful sights this , tour guide was amazing and very kind she explained everything about all of the sights we visited clearly and told us the stories behind them they were so interesting . would 100% go again
Well laid out itinerary. It’s an early start but you see many views of Mt Fuji (if it’s a clear day. Arakurayama Sengen Park and Fujiyoshida Shiei Honmachidori Parking Lot are one stop— and it’s a tight timeline to climb to the pagoda and back down to the parking lot view. Otherwise, all the other stops were nice and comfortable.
Day bus trip from/to Shinjuku. An amazing experience led by brilliant tour guide Golldy (Kim). This was the only clear day that week - recommend monitoring weather forecasts 2-3 days ahead. Must do.
Goldie was a great tour director. Mt. Fuji cooperated all day and our pictures were great. We especially loved the tea farm.
Includes the main 'shots' your camera roll desires but the weather can have a say on what you see. It's a mountain after all. Pick up was smooth despite being delayed by an earlier incident. The guide's English was ok, timeliness was essential, we began to leave 1 checkpoint with 4 people over 5 minutes late. They flagged the bus down. The guide did then proceed to attempt to cut short the amount of time at each stop which seemed over zealous.
Tour from Tokyo to Mt Fuji with other stops to parks and waterfalls. It was a cloudy day but at least it didn't rain and had some peak views of the mountain. The tour guide was friendly but seemed inexperienced. She raced through some of the best spots, leaving the more seasoned (slower moving) tourists lost and trying to figure out which way to turn. Furthermore, she spoke in Korean to a group of Korean tourists, shortening what she said in English to the one-third who spoke English. She am certain she will learn how to manage such groups in time, but it wasn't the best.
Fantastic tour. We were lucky and had full Fuji view for most of our stops, it clouded over just as we hit our last stop at the green tea fields. We went during peak season with cherry blossoms and still had time to get our iconic shot with a 45 minute long lone up.
We had the pleasure of travelling with a guide named Kei. She was a bundle of energy and worked really hard to ensure everyone was safe but also that people were able to experience everything that the tour had to offer. The tour itself is more four stars as it could have done with one or two less stops (Lawson's for example). We took a ton of pictures and we made a memory to treasure for the rest of our lives. Thanks Kei, for all your effort.
Our guide was amazing. Had so much fun touring my. Fugi. Excellent value for an entire day's activity.
We had the best tour ever with tour guide Kei! She was funny, knowledgeable and kept the trip interesting as we visited all the best spots! Would definitely book again! Thanks Kei and our great bus driver Sato!
Had the most amazing time with our tour guide Kei! She was knowledgeable and sent awesome photos in the group chat
Be aware this is a long bus ride which consumes the majority of the time. There were only 4 stops with very limited time at each stop. In retrospect, if we’d known we’d basically spend the day on a bus, we would have passed.
Our tour guide Hooni was amazing - such a lovely guy and so knowledgeable! Unfortunately the trip didn’t fall on one of the mountain visible days (can’t be helped!) however we had a great time anyway and Hooni put in a lot of effort to make sure the trip was still super fun regardless of the weather.
The tour circles Mt Fuji, so it’s in view most of the day, which increases the chance of seeing it. The waterfalls are spectacular.
The weather was very bad with cloudy and rain and Mt Fuji could not be seen. The tour guide took us to a Green Tea farm, a waterfall connected with Mt Fuji, and several places to shop for souvenirs. This was nice, but had nothing to do with Mt Fuji highlights.
We happened to do this tour on a perfectly cloudless day, and were blessed to be able to see and photograph the majestic Mt Fuji. Although the bus stopped at some interesting and lovely locations, we were given very little commentary or information about these sites or features along the way. I really could not recommend this tour, if it had not been for the beautiful clear day (consider that Mt Fuji is only visible 70-80 days per year!) this tour would have been a wasted day.
Kei was a great tour guide, and the sights are stunning! I would thoroughly recommend this tour ❤️🏔️ Mt Fuji at its most spectacular
Kei and our bus driver were very knowledgeable and friendly. They made sure we got the most out of our tour - we all had a great time. I highly recommend this tour!
The guide was great on this trip, she was organised and we had a great day. Additionally the weather was amazing with clear views of the Fuji right through the day.
It was so very beautiful day for me as I had seen the great Mt Fuji in the afternoon. Our tour guide Blair was also very nice and able to make the tour organized & enjoyable. I will never forget the beautiful scenery and the great Mt Fuji. Thank you.
We had a fabulous day with lots of excellent photo opportunities. Our guide Kei was highly professional and caring. The bus trip was comfortable.
This was a fabulous trip and well worth a time and the money. Our guide Kei was knowledgeable, respectful, spoke many languages. This was a wonderful way to see all of Mt.Fuji. Don't miss it!!
You drive around the Fuji and stop at interesting places and views. We had luck today and could see the Fuji in the the first half of the day and I did a lot pictures with different flowers. The Pagode and the waterfalls are great and there is also a littlebit extra organised by the guide. Kei was a great guide, always very informative and very helpful. The bus driver also did a great job, I felt comfortable in the bus even in the mountains and narrow streets. I had a great day and recommend the tour even if you can't see the Fuji because of too much clouds.
Amazing experience, once in a lifetime. Just wish it was more transparent about the level of activity required, some older passengers really struggled to get through certain parts of the tour without guidance. The most beautiful views I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend, once you fully understand what is expected of you.
Great day sightseeing ! Our host and driver were excellent. Saw beautiful and historic places around the Mt Fuji area and beyond.
Really great experience - and a very nice guide Yui! I highly recommend this trip - to experience a part of the countryside in Japan.
Best experience, so worth it! Our guide, Yui was wonderful. The waterfall was absolutely amazing and beautiful. Mt. Fuji was covered in clouds but still a great experience. The only hard thing was the meeting place on google maps at Tokyo station was incorrect by 2 blocks so it was very confusing.
The tour was great and the spots nice to visit. Even though it’s a short amount of time, gave us a look at mont Fuji areas. The tour guide was easy to communicate and friendly!
Nice spots with excellent guide It was a rainy day, but places where very nice. Our guide was kind and patience We love it!
Our guide took us on a perfect itinerary for the day. We had great weather, but we know of others who had no luck with photos at other locations. The day was well-paced, varied and very comfortable. Ukei was a very experienced tour leader and made the day more fun with her personality and special touches such as a farewell momento for each of us. Her organisation and communication were also excellent.
This tour was amazing. All the picture spots of Mount Fugi were breathtaking. My favorite was the waterfalls. Our guide K was awesome, thx K and happy birthday!
The views were beautiful in all 4 stops however the whole trip felt disorganised and rushed. The guide although kind and friendly and obviously trying her best could not speak English to the level required for the role. She was unable to communicate more than the most basic instructions so we did not get any information about mount fuji, the history etc as described on other reviews. At the first spot we didn't have enough time to get to the viewpoint, as we had to rush back to meet at 11am. We then had to stand and wait for 30mins for everyone to get back - so those who were on time wasted 30 mins waiting in a carpark. The guide did not have the confidence to organise the group and counting people to see who was missing was very chaotic to the point we nearly took over calling out peoples names to get moving. The other spots were then rushed- the schedule advised we would get 30 mins at the lake which was beautiful- but on arrival we were told to be back on the coach in 15mins so had to rush photos and lunch. The next 2 stops were equally rushed. It did not feel like a relaxing enjoyable experience. A shame as the scenery was absolutely stunning and this had the potential to be a great trip.
I missed my tour even though I was at the right place 15 min. Ahead. Be sure to remember the name of your guide(who will sent a What’sApp the night before) and be sure you have access to wifi so you can call your guide if you don’t link up. There were at least 10 different guides at the same corner today. We were well over a hundred tourists going from guide to guide trying to find the right one. Others beside me were also left behind. Also, if your tour starts at another spot before your meeting place, be aware that your bus may come a little late.
Views were beautiful. Mt Fuji was hiding to start but it cleared up, with many moments to capture beautiful pictures. Yunon, our guide was kind and patient despite many travelers late at each stop by more than a few minutes (without any apology) and held up the group which changed our itinerary to not be able to visit all the stops. Sengen park was busy. Due to cherry blossoms festival the walk from the park was quite far, so must be able to walk. Unfortunately cherry blossoms not in bloom due to cold weather. However, we saw them all around Tokyo and other areas. Definitely get the ice cream on second floor of the shop at the lake stop. Amazing!! The waterfalls were beautiful and Yunon recommended we stay there longer than rush 2 last stops, which was perfect as it was a nice area to spend 1.5 hours with well priced shopping, and beautiful scenery. I heard there were some rude travellers being unkind to her when she nicely called them to request they return to the bus. If you see any bad reviews it was likely because of some that ruined it for others, but she was very respectful and polite to everyone. The bus ride is very long due to traffic, so be prepared for that, but the views and stops are worth it!
They take you to 4 different sites where you can see Mt Fuji in all its glory. They for 45 mins to 1 hour for photos. We were lucky because we went on a clear sunny day. Our guide and driver were both very kind.
It was our fourth day in Japan and lucky for us the skies cleared up and it was a beautiful and sunny day, allowing for great pictures. Our guide Yunon was absolutely wonderful! Her English was very good and she was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Highly recommend this tour. I wish Yunon the best of luck at university in Colorado.
It was a very fruitful tour. The guide's name was Goldie. The guide is kind and has good reactions, and he keeps making recommendations, and it was so nice. The course is also quite full. What was unfortunate was that the last course went too fast I was able to come back to Tokyo as soon as possible because I had less free time, but I wanted to have a cup of coffee and relax... but I was in a hurry and moved in a hurry. (I'm writing this because guide asked me to post a review if there was anything you wanted. It was a really nice tour.)
Yui our guide was awesome and always in a very good mood, helping out with photos if she head time, the tour is all you need scenic wise of Mt Fuji. I give it a very good rating, and well recommended. But it’s a full day and after you will be a bit tired :)
This went around the base of Mt Fuji so there were many vantge spots to see the peak despite the cloudy day. Yunan was so helpful from the start as she sent me exact coordinates for the tour's starting spot. She didn't say much about the spots but they spoke for themselves. She was very kind in taking pictures.
It was one of the great tours. Supers choice of locations and well organized. Tour Guide Ukei (K) made our day. She is informative and funny and also helpful. Everything was perfect and on time. Highly recommended. Thank you for the awesome day.

The sights are picturesque & Mt. Fuji showed off its peak during our trip. Unfortunately it was Japan’s Thanksgiving Day; it was so crowded & the traffic was horrible. We arrived at the Chureito Pagoda and Honcho Street after sunset and with the given time limit it’s impossible to hike the pagoda & enjoy the view in the dark. Disappointingly, this is not a guided photography tour. It is just a bus ride from one place to another. Had to find a good photography spot on our own with time limit. The lead guide Lisa seemed inexperienced & a poor communicator. She had an assistant but neither took the time to provide some narratives about the place we were visiting & did not lead us the way. They were just there to remind you of your time limit & when you need to get back on the bus.
Incredible day out with Yui our tour guide. There are many Fuji tours out there but this one focuses on the beauty of the mountain, letting us see it from many different angles and admire it in different lights. Highly recommend a day I will always remember. Special thanks to Yui who was on great form and made everything so fun.
Really loved the day. K was an amazing guide she spoke in both english and Korean and gave us information about where we were visiting. I got some beautiful photos, it was comfortable bus and day ran very smoothly 10/10 recommend
Very photogenic! Everyone can take pictures very beautiful in this tour! The guide K-san was amazing! She was very pretty and very kind to everyone. By the end of the tour, I became a fan of her!
