Hopefully this is where you can get the iconic view of Mount Fuji across the lake, depending on the conditions we'll adjust the timing to maximise possibility for a clear view.

A lovely little village with thatch roofed buildings and 8 pure springs from the snow cap of Fuji itself. Try some local snacks or grab a souvenir on the walk to the ponds.

Due to the fact rice is difficult to grow in the area, houtou noodles is the specialty dish, thick hand cut noodles in a miso broth, of course there are various options as well as a variety of snack foods at most stops

Another lovely village of traditional thatched-roof houses situated on the shore of Lake Saiko, beneath the gaze of World Heritage-listed Mt. Fuji. Each little building houses a museum, gift shop, cafe or restaurant.

A shrine dedicated to worshipping Mount Fuji, it's surrounded be a cedar forest with some trees thought to be over 1,000 years old! This is where people used to start their climb of Fuji after paying respects. The main hall was built in 1615 and the Torii gate is epic.
