Itinerary
- Day 1
Mount Fuji Area
Start your morning heading to the Mount Fuji area, where you'll drive through nice mountain landscapes to reach Arakurayama Sengen Park. From there, you get those classic views of Mount Fuji that everyone wants to photograph. Then it's on to Kawaguchiko, a small town right on the lake with a relaxed feel. During the day, you'll stop at Fuji Sengen Shrine to walk around the grounds, and later take a boat ride across Lake Kawaguchiko to see the mountain from the water. After that comes the hike up Mount Fuji to the Fifth Station at 2,305 meters (7,562 feet), which takes a few hours but gives you a real sense of the mountain. By evening, you're back in Kawaguchiko for a quiet walk before checking into a traditional ryokan. You'll have dinner included and can soak in the onsen bath to relax after all that hiking.

Later, visit Fushimi Inari Shrine with its famous red gates, then see the Imperial Palace and Kinkakuji Temple, the gold-covered pavilion sitting on a pond with beautiful grounds around it.

Travel through quieter countryside to reach Tsumago, a wooden village that keeps its traditional character and is considered one of Japan's most well-preserved old towns. You'll have free time to walk the streets, stop in shops, and get lunch at a local restaurant. After that, head to Matsumoto to tour the 16th-century castle, nicknamed 'The Crow' because of its dark exterior and black roof. Spend some time exploring the town on your own, then make the drive back to Tokyo, arriving by the end of the day.
