Kick off your adventure with a scenic drive from Tokyo to Mount Fuji, Japan's highest peak and an active volcano. Enjoy a comfortable air-conditioned ride, escorted by an expert guide. As you ascend towards the iconic mountain, stop at the 5th Station, nestled halfway up. Here, marvel at the awe-inspiring views of the countryside and feel the majestic beauty of Mount Fuji from a close distance. If you embark on this tour anytime between December and April, visit Arakurayama Sengen Park. This internet sensation spot is known as one of the ‘21 places photographers all over the world must visit before they die.’ Here, climb up 397 steps and view the 5-story Chureito Pagoda, a sight not to be missed.
Oshino Hakkai Ponds & Traditional Japanese Onsen Post Mount Fuji, immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Oshino Hakkai. Visit the sacred series of 8 ponds filled with crystal-clear water sourced from Mount Fuji's melting snow. The purity of this water is renowned, deemed one of the best in Japan, and used in sacred Shinto rituals. Next, make a choice between indulging in a traditional Japanese Onsen (hot spring) or retail therapy at a buzzing outlet mall. If you opt for the Onsen, prepare for a cleansing ritual that promises both physical relaxation and spiritual rejuvenation. This harmonious blend of serene natural beauty and engaging cultural tradition makes this tour an absolute must for every wanderlust-infused soul.

Everything was great and the tour went very well.
Anna is a frendly cheerful and good guide on our tour. Sad thing was the sudden bad drizzle.
I did not think Linda, our guide, value-added much to the whole day's activities (was hoping there can be more interesting stories about the places we are visiting). She kept track of time but was a little too hurried and kept repeating about traffic etc. On this note, we didn't visit Mount Fuji (due to the season) and went to the nearby village (Oshino Hakkai) instead. Yet, due to the rain, we didn't explore much either. All in, a fruitful experience since we did cover a few places--Oshino Hakkai and Hot Spring OR Outlet Shopping-- even though it was just a day's trip.
