About this activity

【The pickup service is available only for guests who are already staying in Kawaguchiko or Fujiyoshida area, or for those who can come to the areas on their own.】

Join us on a special nature and culture tour at the foot of Mt. Fuji—far from the busy tourist spots.

Led by Yuki, a certified mountain guide who has climbed Mt.Fuji over 40 times and is also a licensed local hunter, this tour offers deep insights into the natural and spiritual heart of the region.

We’ll explore a historical shrine,peaceful Fuji five lakes, a mysterious lava cave, and a vast forest formed by past eruptions.

This is more than just a hike—it’s a journey through the history and untouched beauty of Mt.Fuji.

After the hike, we’ll enjoy a delicious local meal, featuring the area’s famous “Yoshida Udon.”

The trail is moderate(about 1 hour up and 30 minutes down)making it suitable for all ages.

Free rental hiking gear is available!
