Overview

Hi, I'm Kye. A Japan-born half-Australian semi-pro photographer who's quick with a joke. Travelling through Japan can be awesome, but it can also be challenging. My boys and I are here to make your trip smoother, and more comfortable. Not to mention, memorable!

I'll walk you through the best places to visit on our way to Mt Fuji, and we can figure out what works best for your trip:) I've posted some options in the sample itinerary. Please note we won't be able to do everything on the list. With the standard plan, I'd say 4-6 from the list depending on the distance. Not to worry though, we offer up to 6-hour extensions as well as multi-day tours all across Japan! Just let me know what you need;)

The standard car I use is a 2023 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. A Japanese luxury van is available as an option as well in case you want the extra space;)

ALL pictures on our page are taken by us, photography is included in this tour :)

Activity itinerary

Mount Fuji
  • 10m
Enjoy the majestic view of Mt Fuji from several photo spots!
Arakurayama Sengen Park
  • 10m
One of the most desirable destinations around Mt. Fuji. You can get an awesome picture of Mt. Fuji with the Chureito Pagoda (1st picture on this listing). I'm not going to lie, it's a bit of a climb lol
Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine
  • 10m
This is the shrine located at the base of the park. This shrine is for the goddess of fire, one of the smaller shrines out at Fuji. You thought the 2 minute climb up here was bad? Nah mate, still like 300 steps to climb to get to the view haha
Chureito Pagoda
  • 20m
Now this is what we're all here for! Fantastic view of Mt Fuji and the village! There's something here for each season so I expect to see you back here in 3 months haha least walking downhill isn't too tiring
Fujisan World Heritage Center(Mt.Fuji World Heritage Center)
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Here you can learn about the history of Fuji and its culture. But I mean... We are literally at Mt Fuji.... Don't worry I tell the history and culture better anyway, best we skip this one hey?
Lake Kawaguchiko
  • 1h
A quiet lake, great for taking in the scenery and getting amazing photos! Is what I would say if the Japanese didn't come here on the weekends on their jetskis lol Still good though
Oishi Park
  • 30m
Beautiful park by Kawaguchiko Lake with an astonishing variety of flowers. Best known for its lavenders. If I had an ounce of romance in me, this is where I'd go for a romantic
Fuji Oishi Hana Terrace
  • 10m
Ice cream Ice cream Ice cream. That's all you need to know. Just in case you wanted some more info, its right next to the garden.
Saiko Lake (Pass by)
Japanese people fish here. It's one of the 5 lakes surrounding Mt Fuji. Honestly, not too much to see here, let's just do a quick drive-by.
Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine
  • 30m
A shrine built for a new era of Fuji worship. This place is brimming with historic importance. Where is the line between genuine religion and a cult? Sorry got distracted for a sec. Anyways, this is where some people start climbing Mt Fuji!
Oshino Hakkai
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
From nature to a traditional village, they have it all here.
Ide Sake Brewery
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
This one's simple. Do you like Sake? Yes? Awesome. Here you can do a tasting of Sake and Whisky. Feel the power of Mt Fuji as you sip on alcohol made with melted snow water!
Lake Yamanaka
  • 20m
This is my personal favourite lake. Less people on jetskis, more quiet walk by the lake;)
Mt. Fuji 5th Station
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
Right. 5th station. Great for viewing the tip of Mt Fuji if we can't see anything from the town as it's a lot higher in elevation. Some decent shops for getting souvenirs. Great views all round. It snows a fair bit during winter, but don't worry we don't have polar bears in Japan. Yet.
Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
It's a cable car. Rope way=Cable car. now, with that out the way, it's quite nice. We can get a fabulous view of the two major cities and Kawaguchiko Lake, not to mention Mt Fuji. There is a pair of swings at the top of a hill up there that makes for a great picture!
Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nemba
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
One of the old villages near Mt Fuji. Great place if you want some pics in kimonos and samurai gear, they have them for rent! Mt Fuji view, old Japanese buildings plus lots of things to see and do.
Fugaku Wind Cave
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
Easy difficulty: There are 2 sections where you need to crouch a bit but nothing too bad. This cave is slightly warmer than the Ice cave.
Narusawa Ice Cave
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
Medium difficulty: There are a few places that are quite low, 3 feet/1 metre ish? This is the coldest of the 3 caves.
Saiko Bat Cave
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
Hard difficulty: This is the cave with the lowest sections. They make you wear a helmet. This is the most adventurous of the 3 caves.
Gotemba Premium Outlets
  • 1h
Want to save big on brand names? This is the perfect spot for it;) (Free option)
