Explore the Mt. Fuji and Fujinomiya area on a private day tour with a local guide and a private vehicle. Enjoy a carefully planned itinerary combining Japanese culture, local food, waterfalls, and beautiful Mt. Fuji scenery.
Your recommended itinerary begins with pickup at Shin-Fuji Station or another agreed location in the local area. Pickup from Shimizu Port is also available for cruise ship passengers, making this tour a convenient private shore excursion to the Mt. Fuji area.
First, visit Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha (30 minutes), the head shrine of more than 1,300 Sengen shrines across Japan. Learn about its deep connection with Mt. Fuji and famous samurai leaders such as Minamoto no Yoritomo, Takeda Shingen, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Next, visit the nearby Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre, Shizuoka (40 minutes). Discover why Mt. Fuji was designated a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site and learn about its history, culture, and spiritual significance.
Continue to Makaino Farm Resort (90 minutes) at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Enjoy an included buffet lunch featuring a variety of dishes and local ingredients in a relaxed countryside setting.
After lunch, visit Shiraito Falls (45 minutes), one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Mt. Fuji area and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. See countless streams of spring water flowing down the rock face like delicate white threads.
If weather, visibility, and time permit, finish with Lake Tanuki (30 minutes), a peaceful scenic spot known for beautiful views of Mt. Fuji and its reflection on the lake.
After the final stop, relax in your private vehicle as your guide drives you back to the agreed drop-off location, including Shimizu Port for cruise ship passengers.
This is a private tour, so the timing may be adjusted slightly depending on weather, traffic, and your interests while following the recommended itinerary. Your guide will also monitor road conditions throughout the day to ensure a comfortable and timely return.
