① Pickup from your hotel in Tokyo and drive to the Kawaguchiko area (8:00〜10:30)
② Tenjoyama Park and the Mt.Fuji Panoramic Ropeway (10:30〜12:00)
With your guide, you will take the Mt.Fuji Panoramic Ropeway up 1,075m to the summit of Mt.Tenjo.From there you can see wonderful views of Lake Kawaguchiko (the most famous of the Fuji Five Lakes) with Mt.Fuji in all its glory in the background.Feel free to enjoy an icecream or snack from a stall at the top.Once you have soaked in the view, you will hike back down, enjoying an easy 40 minute trek along the “hydrangea road”, a path through the woods lined on both sides with hydrangea flowers.
(*In Sakura season, instead enjoy the famous five-story pagoda Chureito Pagoda. If you have ever seen a photo of a pagoda surrounded by cherry blossoms with Mt.Fuji in the background, chances are it was the Chureito Pagoda. In Sakura season we will drive to Arakurayama Park and ascend the 398 stone steps up to the pagoda. From there you can relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of hundreds of cherry blossoms and of course, Mt.Fuji.)
③ Lunch at Hotokura Funari Kawaguchiko (12:15~13:15)

Sitting beside the lush green of the Aokigahara Forest, Lake Saiko is perhaps the most tranquil of the Fuji Five Lakes.It's filled with crystal clear blue water and is the best place in the area for swimming or boating.Here you can take some wonderful photos of Mt.Fuji, or even go for a dip if you need refreshing.

10/10 recommend!
Thank you to our guide Tetsu and our driver! It was our groups first time visiting Mount Fuji and we were lucky enough to see the top! The views were breathtaking at each location we went to. It was a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. We had to change some of our itinerary and Tetsu was very flexible and transparent in terms of timing and avoiding the crowd. Thank you so much for making our first trip to Mount Fuji memorable!

Flexible family trip to Fuji area
The tour was flexible and accommodating to our kids. We had 5 kids in our group
(15,13,12,11,8). We had a great time taking in the Fuji landscapes, breathing fresh air and the tour guide patiently answered all of our questions about Japan.
