Mt. Fuji 5th Station Observation Deck

Meet the guide in Tokyo and get into the car. Drive past the skyscrapers and residential suburbs and then arrive at the lush green mountains. First, drive on a winding road on the scenic Subaru Line and then arrive at the 5th station of Mount Fuji, which is 7545 ft (2,300 meters) above sea level. Gaze at the view of Mount Fuji and see the summit if it is a clear day. After this, head to a ninja-themed restaurant to buy lunch. Then, continue to Owakudani Volcanic Area, an active volcanic area surrounding a crater that was made when Mount Hakone last erupted 3,000 years ago. Taste some kurotamago here, which are black eggs that have been boiled in sulfur water. Observe the geothermal activity, such as fumaroles and sulfatases. Next, take the Hakone Ropeway, a cable car, down to Ashi Lake. Get on a boat so you can cruise on the lake and enjoy the scenery. Finally, drive back to your hotel in Tokyo to complete the tour.

Embark on a private day trip from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji. Enjoy the flexibility of a private tour with a guide and driver. Visit the 5th Station, Lake Kawaguchi, Oshino Hakkai, Chureito Pagoda, and Oishi park. Depart from Tokyo and head to the 5th Station, located about 2,300 meters above sea level. Enjoy breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji, explore local shops, and take stunning photos. On clear days, witness the beautiful sea of clouds and panoramic views of distant mountain ranges. Next, visit Lake Kawaguchi, one of the five lakes surrounding Mt. Fuji. Take a leisurely stroll along the lake, or enjoy a boat ride on the calm waters. Have lunch at a lakeside restaurant featuring local specialties, such as “Hoto” hot pot or fresh fish dishes from the area. Continue to Oshino Hakkai, known for its crystal-clear waters and picturesque scenery. Browse local souvenir shops or relax in a traditional Japanese café. Visit the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, dedicated to Mt. Fuji. Walk through the sacred grounds, explore the ancient shrine buildings, and learn about Japan’s Shinto culture.
