Itinerary
Lake Kawaguchiko
Lake Kawaguchiko sits at about 830 meters elevation, which results in cooler summers and cold winters. Around the lake are numerous restaurants where lunch can be taken. Optional activities include a ship cruise or ropeway cable car ride, each costing approximately 1000¥ per person.

Located 2300 meters above sea level on the Fuji Subaru Line, the 5th Station provides views of the Fuji Five Lakes area below. It is popular even for visitors not climbing the mountain. Entrance requires a fee of 2100¥ per group.
60 min
Oshino Hakkai
Oshino Hakkai is a small traditional Japanese village located between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako, on the site of a former sixth lake that dried out several hundred years ago. The eight ponds are supplied by snowmelt from Mount Fuji that filters through porous lava layers for over 80 years, producing very clear spring water valued by locals. Visitors can drink natural fresh spring water from Mount Fuji. If weather conditions are good, a close view of Mount Fuji can be seen from here.
45 min
Oishi Park
Oishi Park is located on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchiko and offers a combined view of the lake and Mount Fuji.

This shrine is one of about 1,300 Asama shrines in Japan dedicated to the deity of volcanoes and Mount Fuji specifically. It is part of the Mt. Fuji UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site designated in 2013. The shrine honors Konohanasakuya-hime, the goddess of Mount Fuji, and often includes rock replicas of the mountain within its grounds.

Narusawa Ice Cave
The Narusawa Hyoketsu Ice Cave is located at the east entrance to the Aokigahara Jukai sea of trees forest. It was formed over 1150 years ago, in the 6th year of the Jogan era (864 A.D.), when the Nagaoyama flank volcano of Mount Fuji erupted. The red-hot lava flow created a two-tunnel cave between ancient parasitic volcanoes. In 1929, the Ministry of Education designated it as a natural monument. The tree-type lava bed in the cave is said to have the most spiracles in the world. Entrance tickets are not included.
45 min
Fugaku Wind Cave
Surrounded by Aokigahara Jukai forest, the Fugaku Wind Cave maintains a cool temperature of about 3°C year-round. Historically, it was used to store silkworm eggs. The cave is 201 meters long and 8.7 meters high, with basalt walls that absorb sound. Visitors can see lava shelves, rope-like lava formations, and ice pillars that persist through summer during a roughly 15-minute tour.
