Discover the Quiet Side of Mt Fuji

This tour allows you to experience the allure of Mount Fuji in depth without having to climb it. From the 5th station at an altitude of about 2,300 m, we will head to the "Onakamichi" trail, which was once walked by people who worshipped Mount Fuji. You will walk while enjoying the quiet forest, moss, the landscape at the tree line, alpine plants, and clusters of lingonberries. In the inner garden, you'll stop at a mountain hut and take a break with the famous lingonberry juice. Get away from the heat and hustle and bustle of Tokyo and experience the 'quiet Mount Fuji' that you cannot encounter by simply heading for the summit.
