On a clear day, you can even see the Southern Alps (such as Mount Akaishi and Mount Arakawa). At the top, there is a bell tower called the "Heavenly Bell," and it is said that ringing the bell will make your wishes come true.
The Lake Kawaguchi Fuji Panoramic Cable Car is set in the stage of Dazai Osamu's famous work "Kachikachi Mountain." Inspired by Dazai's story, the cable car cabins and observation deck are decorated with raccoon dog and rabbit dolls, inviting everyone to take photos and check in.

Here, you can add a matcha experience, learn to make matcha with a local teacher, and enjoy a cup to truly experience Japanese culture.
The ultimate state of the tea ceremony, "Ichi-go Ichi-e," is a term that has evolved from Japanese tea culture. In the tea ceremony, it means that the tea master will entertain each guest with the utmost sincerity, cherishing the rare opportunity to meet, as it may only happen once in a lifetime.

Absolutely loved this tour—from panoramic Fuji views that felt straight out of a painting to the tranquil ambiance of Oshino Hakkai’s springs. The matcha tasting by the lake was also a lovely cultural touch. Highly recommend!
Fuji, Kawaguchi, Oshino—nature’s best day tour.
Well-paced, scenic, and super easy from Tokyo. A must-do!
Our whole family loved it—from the kids marveling at Fuji’s reflection in the lake to tasting spring water at Oshino Hakkai. Effortless, scenic, and refreshing.
Beautiful, relaxing, and picture-perfect.
Well organized and smooth. Tety and our driver (Sorry don remember his name - this was the Mt. Fuji trip on May 2nd 2025) were perfect! Thank you for making this a fun tour - even though nature didnt cooperate with us and was pouring!
Perfect balance of nature and culture. Lake Kawaguchi reflected Mount Fuji so beautifully, and sipping fresh spring water at Oshino Hakkai was oddly calming. The tour was well-organized, and the photo stops were thoughtfully timed.
We admired Mount Fuji from Kawaguchi’s shore, wandered through Oshino’s ponds, and felt totally immersed in natural beauty—all without the stress of driving.
Mount Fuji, serene lakes, and historic ponds—all in one day. The peaceful surroundings of Oshino Hakkai contrasted nicely with the dramatic Fuji vistas. Smooth transport, great guide, very memorable.
Majestic Fuji views, sparkling lake, and idyllic ponds. Loved every moment!
An unforgettable day exploring Japan’s iconic landscapes! Our guide took us to breathtaking viewpoints of Mount Fuji, followed by a relaxing lakeside walk at Lake Kawaguchi. The crystal-clear ponds of Oshino Hakkai were like stepping into a fairy tale. Well-paced and thoroughly enjoyable.
