Activity itinerary

Shiraito Falls

Shiraito Falls is one of Japan's most beautiful waterfalls, with hundreds of thin streams cascading gently over a wide, 20-meter-high cliff. Fed by the underground springs of Mt. Fuji, the water appears to flow like white threads, creating a tranquil and mystical atmosphere. The lush greenery surrounding the falls enhances the sense of peace, making it a favorite spot for nature lovers and photographers. It's also part of the Mt. Fuji UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering not just scenic beauty but cultural and spiritual significance.

Otodome Waterfall

Located just a short walk from Shiraito Falls, Otodome Falls is a powerful, single-drop waterfall plunging 25 meters into a rocky gorge. The name "Otodome" means "Sound Stopping," referring to a local legend where the thundering roar of the waterfall suddenly ceased during a dramatic samurai tale. Unlike the gentle curtain of Shiraito, Otodome offers a more intense and dynamic natural spectacle, making the contrast between the two falls a memorable experience.

Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine

Located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha is the head shrine of over 1,300 Sengen shrines across Japan. It has been a sacred site for centuries, dedicated to the goddess of Mt. Fuji, Konohanasakuya-hime. Visitors can admire its majestic wooden structures, a sacred spring-fed pond, and towering 1,000-year-old cedar trees. The shrine grounds exude a calm spiritual energy and offer great views of Mt. Fuji on clear days. As part of the UNESCO World Heritage "Fujisan, sacred place and source of artistic inspiration," it's a must-visit for those seeking cultural depth and spiritual heritage.

Omiya Yokocho

Just beside Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, Omiya Yokocho is a charming food alley offering a taste of local Fujinomiya flavors. It's the perfect spot to try the region’s famous Fujinomiya Yakisoba—a savory fried noodle dish with a chewy texture and unique flavor. You’ll also find street snacks, local sweets, and souvenirs in a lively, nostalgic atmosphere. It’s an ideal place to relax and enjoy a casual lunch or quick bites before continuing your Mt. Fuji adventure.

Miho Seacoast (Miho no Matsubara Beach)

Miho no Matsubara is a scenic coastal area lined with over 30,000 pine trees stretching along a 7-kilometer shoreline. It offers a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji rising beyond the sea—an iconic and sacred landscape featured in many traditional Japanese artworks, including ukiyo-e. The area is also associated with the legend of the celestial maiden (Hagoromo), adding a mythical charm to the location. As part of the Mt. Fuji UNESCO World Heritage Site, Miho no Matsubara is a peaceful and poetic stop that perfectly captures the harmony between nature and culture in Japan.

Tokaido Hiroshige Art Museum (Pass by)

This stop is available only for those who select the Hiroshige Museum of Art Plan. Located in Fujinomiya, the Hiroshige Museum of Art offers a glimpse into the world of Utagawa Hiroshige, one of Japan’s most celebrated ukiyo-e artists. The museum features iconic woodblock prints from series such as “The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō” and “Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji,” showcasing Japan’s scenic beauty and travel culture. Visitors can also enjoy special exhibitions and learn about traditional printmaking techniques. This peaceful and culturally rich stop adds an artistic perspective to your Mt. Fuji experience.

Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre, Shizuoka (Pass by)

This stop is available only for those who select the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center Plan. The Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center offers a modern and immersive introduction to the cultural, spiritual, and environmental significance of Japan’s most iconic mountain. The building itself is shaped like an inverted Mt. Fuji, beautifully reflected in a surrounding pool. Inside, you’ll find interactive exhibits, large-scale visual displays, and a unique spiral ramp that symbolizes the ascent to the summit. This visit adds a deeper understanding of Mt. Fuji’s legacy and its status as a World Heritage Site.
