Start your day in Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato, a beautifully restored thatched-roof village offering cultural workshops, traditional craft demos, and optional kimono or samurai photo sessions with Fuji as your backdrop.
Continue to the edge of Aokigahara Forest for a safe and easy lava trail walk where you’ll learn about Fuji’s volcanic history, legends, and local folklore. For an adventurous twist, descend into the Narusawa Ice Cave, filled with year-round natural ice formations created by ancient eruptions.
Recharge with a serene matcha tea ceremony led by a local tea master, overlooking Fuji’s peaceful landscapes. Afterward, enjoy a relaxing lunch at Lake Kawaguchi with restaurant options ranging from cozy family eateries to scenic lakeside dining.

Finally, ascend to the world-famous Mt. Fuji 5th Station, the highest accessible point by vehicle. Take in dramatic mountain scenery, explore the shrines and pathways, and enjoy souvenir shopping before returning to Tokyo.
