Your journey begins in Tokyo, where you'll explore various photo spots around Mount Fuji with a guide. You'll capture this iconic mountain from different angles and partake in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, learning how to make your matcha.
Your first stop is a lesser-known location ideal for photographically capturing Mount Fuji. Here, you can snap a distinctive group photo with Mount Fuji as your backdrop (a warm cup of tea will also be provided).
Next, you'll visit a matcha shop at Lake Kawaguchi. Under expert guidance, you'll learn how to prepare traditional Japanese matcha and savor a cup, immersively experiencing authentic Japanese culture. Afterward, feel free to peruse other matcha products in the shop - they make excellent souvenirs. Just outside the shop, you can take more photos of the beautiful Mount Fuji by the lakeside.
Your third stop is an observation deck situated at an altitude of 1075 meters. This location offers the best panoramic view of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. On a clear day, you might even catch sight of the Southern Alps. If weather conditions prevent the use of the cable car, the itinerary will switch to the Sengoku Samurai Boat or your ticket fee will be refunded.
Lastly, you'll visit Oshino Hakkai, a spring village nestled at the foot of Mount Fuji. Renowned for its beautiful natural environment, the shimmer of the pool water beautifully complements the majestic Mount Fuji.
