Visit these World Heritage sites!
Tour Overview
Mt. Fuji is itself a symbol of Japan. The highest mountain in Japan at 3,776 meters above sea level, it has erupted frequently since ancient times and has been revered by the Japanese people for centuries. To see Mt. Fuji visitors usually take a group bus from Tokyo, but on this tour you will enjoy a trip by train and cab. There is the Fuji Five Lakes which are supplied by Mt. Fuji, the rich water and nature of Oshino Hakkai Spring, and Fuji Asama Shrine surrounded by deep forests that remind you why this mountain is held in such a sacred light. We’ll ascend to the fifth trail station of Mt. Fuji and enjoy the most magnificent view in Japan. (The guide fee for this plan includes the cost of a local cab.)
