Package 1: Mt. Fuji in One Day
Arakurayama Sengen Shrine (Chureito Pagoda) 新倉山淺間公園
You are seeing this symbolic view that is on the homepage of our Website (https://japanexpotours.com/) - Pagoda with Mt. Fuji in the background.
The Chureito Pagoda (忠霊塔, Chūreitō) is a five storied pagoda on the mountainside overlooking Fujiyoshida City and Mount Fuji off in the distance. The pagoda is part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine and was built as a peace memorial in 1963 nearly 400 steps up the mountain from the shrine's main buildings.
The location offers spectacular views of Mount Fuji in combination with the pagoda, especially during the cherry blossom season in mid April when there are hundreds of trees in bloom and during the autumn color season which usually takes place in the first half of November. The spot is particularly popular among photographers as it allows for some wonderfully stereotypical shots of Japan.
Oshino Hakkai, an area with eight ponds fed by snow melt
Oshino Hakkai (忍野八海) is a touristy set of eight ponds in Oshino, a small village in the Fuji Five Lake region, located between Lake Kawaguchiko and Lake Yamanakako on the site of a former sixth lake that dried out several hundred years ago. The eight ponds are fed by snow melt from the slopes of nearby Mount Fuji that filters down the mountain through porous layers of lava for over 80 years, resulting in very clear spring water that is revered by the locals.
Next to one pond, visitors can drink the cool water straight from the source. The ponds are quite deep and have interesting freshwater plant life and large fish. Although the ponds have been developed into tourist attractions and can become quite crowded with visitors, they have a pleasant atmosphere as long as you do not expect untouched nature.
Lake Kawaguchiko (河口湖) to See Mount Fuji
Lake Kawaguchiko is one of the best places to see the iconic Mount Fuji. Japan’s highest mountain (at 3776 metres) is a perfectly shaped volcano and looks especially stunning when snow-capped in winter and spring.
Kawaguchiko is a town around the lake of the same name in the Fuji Five Lakes region.
The views are especially lovely in spring (mid to late April) and autumn (early to mid November) when you can enjoy Mount Fuji views with cherry blossoms or red maple leaves in the foreground.
Kubota Itchiku Art Museum （久保田一竹美术馆)
Kubota Itchiku (1917-2003) was the artist who revived the lost art of Tsujigahana silk dyeing, used to decorate elaborate kimono during the Muromachi Period (1333-1573). In his early twenties he was so inspired by a fragment of Tsujigahana textile exhibited at the Tokyo National Museum, that he devoted the rest of his life to recreating and mastering the labor-intensive silk dyeing technique.
An intriguing museum devoted to Kubota Itchiku stands in the wooded hills along the northern coast of Lake Kawaguchiko. Exhibited are several of the artist's kimono creations, depicting themes of nature, the cosmos and the seasons. Also on display are parts of his unfinished masterpiece "Symphony of Light", a huge work comprised of 80 kimono that together form of a picture of Mount Fuji.
Package 2: Hakone in One Day
Hakone Shrine and Kuzuryu Shrine Singu
Hakone Shrine (箱根神社, Hakone Jinja) stands at the foot of Mount Hakone along the shores of Lake Ashinoko. The shrine buildings are hidden in the dense forest, but are well advertised by its huge torii gates, one standing prominently in the lake and two others over the main street of Moto-Hakone.
A path leads from the torii gate in Lake Ashinoko up a series of steps flanked by lanterns through the forest to the main building of the shrine, which sits peacefully among the tall trees. The shrine is beautiful throughout the year, and is particularly breathtaking when shrouded in mist.
A second shrine, Mototsumiya ("original shrine") stands at the summit of Komagatake, one of Mount Hakone's multiple peaks. It is accessible by the Hakone Komagatake Ropeway from Hakone-en or via hiking trails.
Pirate Crusing on Lake Ashi
Lake Ashi, also known as Ashinoko Lake, is a scenic destination in Hakone, renowned for its views of Mount Fuji and its serene atmosphere. Private boat cruise offers a unique way to experience the beauty of this caldera lake. Visitors can choose from a variety of vessels, including quaint rowboats for a peaceful paddle, or more luxurious cruisers for a comfortable tour. Many of these services provide options for special occasions, such as private tours at sunset or catered events on board. While exploring Lake Ashi by boat, one can admire the iconic red torii gate of the Hakone Shrine, which appears to float on the water, and the lush greenery of the surrounding hills. It's an ideal way to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse oneself in the natural beauty of Japan's landscape.
Owakudani Vaconic Valley
It seems like an endless desolate land, coupled with the white smoke that is constantly floating out, this is Owakudani. Here you can watch spectacular volcanic activity up close, making it the most representative landscape of Hakone. This is a landscape created by volcanic eruptions and lava about 3,000 years ago. The smell of sulfur is strong nearby, and it was once known as "Hell Valley" because of its special landscape. The famous product here is the black egg, which uses a chemical reaction between geothermal heat and volcanic gas to turn the eggshell black. Take the cable car to get a panoramic view of Hakone and Mount Fuji.
