Schedule

Start times: 08:30

1. Stop 1 · 30 min

   Our first destination is Mt. Fuji, the highest and most iconic mountain in Japan. Our goal is to reach the highest accessible point on the mountain. From late spring to late fall, we typically visit the 5th Station, located at an elevation of 2,300 meters above sea level, where you can enjoy magnificent views of Mt. Fuji. From late November to mid-May, however, the 5th Station is closed due to snow. In that case, we visit one of the following alternative spots: the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center, or the 1st, 2nd, or 4th Station.

2. Stop 2 · 40 min

   You are going to experience a unique and delectable Japanese-style lunch at a restaurant in Gotemba City. A vegetarian option is also available.

3. Stop 3 · 20 min

   After enjoying lunch, we will make a short stop at a hidden local viewing spot of Mt. Fuji called Gotemba Heiwa Park (Peace Park). The park features many unique structures and monuments, as well as beautiful cherry trees. If you are lucky enough to visit during cherry blossom season, you will be amazed by breathtaking views of pink blossoms set against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji.

4. Stop 4 · 20 min

   Owakudani literally means "Great Boiling Valley," and it is a renowned volcanic valley known for its sulfur vents and black eggs, which are eggs cooked in hot spring water.

5. Stop 5 · 15 min
