After meeting your friendly tour conductor, you’ll board a comfortable bus and begin your journey into the heart of Japan’s most breathtaking autumn scenery toward the Fuji Five Lakes region. Your first destination is the iconic Arakurayama Sengen Park, one of Japan's most famous viewpoints. This park is home to one of Japan’s most photographed scenes: the majestic Mt. Fuji rising behind a five-story pagoda, framed by fiery red maple leaves in peak season. As you climb the 398 steps to the viewing platform, each turn offers a postcard-perfect view. (Alternatively, there is a gentler sloping road that takes about 10 minutes on foot.) The contrast of traditional architecture, natural beauty, and Japan’s most sacred mountain is simply unforgettable. The autumn foliage here typically reaches its peak from early to late November, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that feels like stepping into a painting.

Travel approximately 25 minutes to the Kawaguchiko area. Here, enjoy a lunch featuring a beef cutlet set meal, served at a specialty restaurant. The beef is grilled on a Mt. Fuji lava stone plate, a distinctive local style that allows the meat to be cooked while retaining its flavor and tenderness. This meal highlights one of Yamanashi's popular regional dining experiences and provides a satisfying break before the afternoon sightseeing begins. During the tour you will receive a special seasonal gift: a bunch of Yamanashi-grown Shine Muscat grapes. These premium grapes are known for their crisp texture, rich sweetness, and edible skin. They’re a local delicacy and a symbol of the region’s agricultural pride.

After approximately 10 minutes, arrive at Momiji Corridor at Lake Kawaguchi, one of the most beloved autumn spots in Japan. Here, a winding path lined with over 60 maple trees forms a glowing tunnel of red and gold. The leaves arch overhead like a natural cathedral, and the gentle stream running through the corridor adds a peaceful soundtrack to your walk. This is a photographer’s paradise and a moment of pure serenity. The foliage here is usually at its most vibrant from early to late November, and even on rainy days, the wet leaves shimmer like jewels.

Travel approximately 30 minutes to Oshino Hakkai, a collection of spring-fed ponds formed by water from Mt. Fuji. Known for its exceptionally clear water, this picturesque village offers a different side of the Mount Fuji region. The ponds are fed by snowmelt that has filtered through volcanic rock over many years, creating striking displays of crystal-clear water. Surrounded by traditional scenery and seasonal foliage, Oshino Hakkai provides a peaceful atmosphere for a leisurely stroll and an opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty that has long been associated with Mount Fuji. Autumn colors are typically best from early November through late November. Before returning to Tokyo, you’ll receive a light evening meal featuring 3 varieties of seasonal sticky rice, a traditional Japanese dish made with glutinous rice and seasonal ingredients.
