Welcome to Japan. Upon arrival at Haneda or Narita Airport, meet your guide before travelling by private vehicle to your recommended hotel in Tokyo. Spend the rest of the day settling in after your journey. Whether you choose to relax or venture out for your first glimpse of the city's vibrant streets, it's the perfect introduction to the adventures ahead.
Leave the city behind as you journey to Yamanashi, where the majestic silhouette of Mount Fuji begins to dominate the horizon. Your first stop is the tranquil shores of Lake Yamanakako, the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes. Follow the gentle lakeside path as swans glide gracefully across the water, with Japan's most iconic peak rising in the background. Continue to the Fujisan World Heritage Center, where interactive exhibits reveal the cultural, spiritual, and natural significance of Mount Fuji, offering a deeper appreciation of the mountain that has inspired generations.
Begin the day at Kawaguchiko Tenjoyama Park, taking the ropeway to enjoy sweeping views of Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchiko, and the surrounding countryside. Continue to the Kawaguchiko Konohana Museum, where enchanting artwork and exhibits inspired by Japanese fantasy literature spark the imagination. Later, stroll through Oishi Park, where colourful seasonal flowers frame the lakeshore against the backdrop of Mount Fuji. With wide open spaces and fresh mountain air, it's the perfect place for children to play while the whole family takes in the peaceful surroundings.
Step back in time at Saiko Iyashi no Sato, a beautifully restored thatched-roof village nestled beneath Mount Fuji, where traditional houses offer a glimpse into Japan's rural heritage. Continue to Makaino Farm, where rolling green fields, friendly animals, and hands-on experiences such as butter-making and cow milking create a fun-filled day in the countryside. In the afternoon, visit the spectacular Shiraito Falls, where hundreds of delicate streams cascade over volcanic rock, creating one of Japan's most picturesque natural landscapes. Blending culture, nature, and interactive experiences, today offers something memorable for every member of the family.
This morning, venture beneath the forests of Mount Fuji to explore the remarkable Narusawa Ice Cave. Descend into a cool underground world where thick ice formations remain frozen throughout the year, creating a fascinating landscape of shimmering tunnels shaped by ancient volcanic activity. Afterwards, return to Tokyo for a leisurely afternoon. Browse for souvenirs, wander through one of the city's distinctive neighbourhoods, or simply relax and reflect on the unforgettable experiences of the past few days.
Your Japanese adventure comes to an end today as you make your way to the airport for your flight home. Although it's time to say goodbye, the memories of Mount Fuji's breathtaking scenery, family adventures, and moments of discovery will stay with you long after you've returned. As they say in Japan, it's not goodbye, it's simply "See you again."
