Overview

This full-day bus tour begins with pickup at the LOVE statue in Shinjuku. Travelers board the Kawaguchiko Appare Cruise on Lake Kawaguchi, spending about 30 minutes on the boat while viewing Mt. Fuji from the water. After the cruise, the group visits Oishi Park for 40 minutes to see seasonal flowers and views of Mt. Fuji and the lake. Next, the tour stops in Fujikawaguchiko-machi for a hands-on cooking session where participants learn to make Hōtō, a local noodle dish featuring thick flat noodles in miso soup with seasonal vegetables. The cooking takes about 30 minutes, followed by a 30-minute lunch where travelers eat the noodles they prepared. The afternoon includes a 40-minute walk through Oshino Hakkai village, known for its clear spring ponds fed by Mt. Fuji’s water. The final sightseeing stop is Arakurayama Sengen Park, where guests spend an hour climbing steps to see the five-story pagoda with Mt. Fuji in the background. The tour ends with a drop-off near Shinjuku Station around 5:30 PM, depending on traffic. Included are an English-speaking guide, multilingual audio guidance, Wi-Fi on the bus, and a halal/unallergic meal option is not available. Vegetarian and gluten-free lunches can be requested when booking.
