On this tour, you'll follow an expert guide to view Mount Fuji from various vantage points. At Kawaguchiko Ohashi Park, you'll find cherry blossoms in spring and lavender in summer, which create a beautiful frame for Mount Fuji. During spring, the Fuji Shibazakura Festival at Motosu Lake features around 800,000 moss phlox blossoms that bloom at the foot of the mountain. As autumn arrives, the Kawaguchiko Lake Maple Corridor offers a striking contrast of snow-capped Mount Fuji against fiery red maple leaves.

Continue to Yamanaka Lake, the largest and shallowest of the Fuji Five Lakes. Known as "White Bird Lake," it serves as a swan breeding site from February to April. It also provides an opportunity to relax in hot springs while enjoying views of Mount Fuji.

In summer, ascend to Mount Fuji's 5th station at 2,305 m, for a majestic view. Close to the summit, clear days reveal the scenery of Kawaguchiko Lake, while cloudy ones offer a mesmerising sea of clouds. From October to April, visit Arakurayama Sengen Park. A climb of 397 steps to the main hall rewards you with a dual view of Mount Fuji and the street below.
