WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

1 Fujisan World Heritage Center
Fuji, a World Heritage Site established by Yamanashi Prefecture. Fuji's nature, history, and culture through a 7-minute video in English.

2 Mt.Fuji 5th station
This is the end of the Subaru Line.
At 2,300 meters above sea level and 60% of the 3,776-meter-high Mt. We will visit Ko-omitake Shrine, an ancient center of worship, and enjoy a 240-degree view of Pa from the observatory next to it. In addition to views of Lake Yamanaka and Lake Kawaguchi below, you can enjoy mountain views of Kitadake, Japan's second highest peak, and Yatsugatake, which, as legends say, competed in height with Mt.
A short walk along a trail called the Ochudo trail will take you to rhododendrons, Japanese spruces, and other plants that have survived the harsh natural environment.

3 Oshino Hakkai (The Eight Ponds of Oshino)
Fuji receives a lot of rainfall but there are no rivers. The volcanic soil easily allows water to pass through, and it all flows underground becoming groundwater.
In Oshino-Hachikai, such underground water gushes out again and eight lakes and marshes were formed. Please take a look at the clear, beautiful water.

4 Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Jinja Shrine
In Japanese belief, Mt. Fuji is a god.
To climb this divine mountain, Shinto rituals are essential. There are four trails on Mt. Fuji, but the Yoshida-guchi trail accounts for 60% of climbers. The main shrine is the starting point of the Yoshida-guchi trail. Walking along the beautiful approach, pass through the tallest torii gate in Japan, and visit the main shrine, protected by a giant 1,000-year-old tree named Yoshi.

5 The Fujiyama Museum
Mount Fuji has been depicted by countless artists since ancient times. Starting with mountain worship of Mount Fuji and literary themes such as "The Tales of Ise," the solitary, solemn yet graceful silhouette and the ever-changing expressions it shows at different times must have greatly stimulated the creative desires of artists.
The Fujiyama Museum is a collection of such works, focusing primarily on masterpieces by modern and contemporary artists who have tackled Mount Fuji from their own unique perspectives. These works show various views of Mount Fuji through the eyes of artists. (From the Fujiyama Museum website)

6 Kawaguchiko Natural Life Museum
Mt. Fuji can be seen on the opposite shore of Lake Kawaguchi. You can see Fuji on the surface of the lake when the waves are calm, and even the Mt. too.
In addition, there are beautiful flower beds along the lakeshore, with lavender in July being the most famous; however, a variety of plants bloom in every season. There is also a caf? selling local specialties and serving soft-serve ice cream.

*We will visit the above and other facilities according to their opening status.
