  • The grandeur of Mount Fuji is a sight to behold, but its visibility depends on the whims of the weather. While we wish for clear, azure skies on every tour, we appreciate your understanding that the mountain may choose to shroud itself in mist on some days.

  • We have designed this journey with inclusivity in mind. Wheelchair users are more than welcome, with the understanding that, at Shiraito & Otodome Falls, the closest proximity to the waterfalls might not be wheelchair accessible. However, designated viewing spots ensure that no one misses out on their awe-inspiring beauty.

FAQ

To provide maximum convenience for our guests, the tour commences and concludes at the JR Shizuoka Station. Alternatively, if you're staying at a hotel nearby, we can arrange for the tour to start and end there.

4. What if the weather is bad, will we still be able to see Mount Fuji?
While we always hope for clear, sunny days that provide the best view of Mount Fuji, the mountain's visibility is heavily dependent on the weather. Rest assured, even on cloudy days, the surrounding landscapes offer plenty of natural beauty and cultural landmarks to explore and enjoy.
