Overview
Mt. Fuji has stirred the Japanese spirit for centuries, as object of worship and wellspring of art. This private journey traces her quieter side, far from the crowds, guided entirely by your own pace.
Begin beneath the towering cedars of Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, the traditional gateway to Fuji's pilgrimage. Then to the Chureito Pagoda, where a five-storied tower and the mountain compose Japan's most iconic image; your guide finds the finest vantage, away from the throng. At Oshino Hakkai, gaze into spring-fed ponds of extraordinary clarity, water that filtered through Fuji's lava for over eighty years.
A thoughtfully reserved lunch awaits in a thatched-roof setting, prepared with local produce and Fuji's pure spring water. The afternoon turns to artistry at the Itchiku Kubota Museum, where sublime kimono and a tranquil garden hold their beauty in any weather. Close the day at Oishi Park, the lake and mountain framed by seasonal blooms. Whatever the sky offers, the journey is yours alone.
