Based on a Perfectly Organized Itinerary, You Can Efficiently and Deeply Enjoy the Mt. Fuji Area

This tour's plan is packed with Mt. Fuji's spectacular views, ancient beautiful shrines and local cultural experiences, and Mt. Fuji area gourmet food all in one day. Since the schedule is perfectly planned, you can efficiently and smoothly enjoy various experiences.

Departing from Tokyo by private car, you'll visit Fuji Sengen Shrine at Arakurayama in the morning. Fuji Sengen Shrine is one of the area's premier scenic spots where you can view the magnificent Mt. Fuji alongside the beautiful Five-story pagoda.

After that, you'll head to a local wasabi farm for a visit. You'll enjoy a local lunch recommended by the guide, and on clear afternoons, climb up to The fifth station of Mt. Fuji. The afternoon also includes visits to other scenic spots like Oshino Hakkai, with tea time prepared as well.

Unique Experiences That Let You Feel Nature, Not Just Tourist Spots

This tour offers unique experiences not found in other Mt.Fuji tours. The highlight is visiting a wasabi farm, which produces Mt. Fuji area specialties. When I visited, the farm staff welcomed us very warmly and friendly.

Wasabi is a traditional ingredient essential to Japanese cuisine, including Sushi. They carefully explained that areas where wasabi can be grown are limited, and delicious wasabi grows thanks to the pure water of the Mt. Fuji area.

We could actually taste freshly grated wasabi on the spot. I was surprised that fresh grated wasabi wasn't as spicy as the wasabi eaten at Sushi restaurants and even had a sweetness to it.

Just looking at the pure water and fresh wasabi was a healing experience. The children of friends who participated with me were also delighted to actually touch the soil and nature.

You Can Savor Exquisite Ingredients and Alcohol Nurtured by Mt. Fuji's Surrounding Nature

For lunch, you can eat exquisite local gourmet food made with ingredients from around Mt. Fuji.

What I ate, introduced by the local guide, was Houtou, a local dish from Yamanashi. Houtou is a dish where thick noodles made from wheat flour are simmered with vegetables in miso soup. The thick noodles had a chewy texture, and both the noodles and vegetables were thoroughly infused with the miso flavor.

If you express your preferences, gluten-free menus and vegan menus are also available.

Also, in the latter half of tours around Mt.Fuji, there's tea time where you can enjoy sake, wine, coffee, and matcha. The sake made with the beautiful water from the Mt. Fuji area, which is rich in spring water, was very fresh and had a refreshing taste.

Having actually participated, I felt this is a tour that can satisfy those who want to enjoy Mt. Fuji's charm from a local perspective. If you're looking for private tours, definitely try participating in Magical Trip's Mt. Fuji Full-day Day Trip Tour from Tokyo with a Private Car & Guide.
