First thing in the morning, you will meet your guide at the reception. Then you will take a ride to the footsteps of the sacred Mt. Fuji, or Fuji-san.
As you reach the 5th station, located at 2,300 meters, the Fuji Subaru Line road will lead you to the Shinto shrine Sengen, dedicated to Princess Konohanasakuya. According to local legend, the spirit of the greatest mountain in Japan lives there. In the same area, you will find the Kachi-Kachi Ropeway, which leads to nearby Mt. Tenzo. From the observation deck, you can enjoy the magnificent view of Mt. Fuji and the whole Five Lakes region.
You can visit one of the volcanic caves, each with unusual names like Bat Cave, Ice Cave, and Narusawa Wind Cave. After that, you can visit Yasino Sato village, an open-air museum. There, you can get acquainted with the culture and lifestyle of ancient Japan: take part in a tea ceremony and try on an authentic kimono or samurai armor. Finally, you can visit the local winery to enjoy wines representing Mt. Fuji's best vineyards: a special complimentary tasting is a part of the program. Then, you will return to your Tokyo hotel.
Enjoy visiting the City of the Shining Sun, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You will see the Toshogu historical complex, the funeral site where the spirits of Japan's three most powerful Samurai rest in peace, and, finally, the famous Kagon waterfalls.
Anyone who has ever seen this beauty simply cannot forget it! Locals respectfully call her Hime-Sama or Madam Princess. A castle-fortress is usually associated with men, but not this one.
For its dazzling white color and multi-tiered roofs, reminiscent of the wings of a huge bird, the fortress is also called the Castle of the White Heron.
