A private day trip in your own Toyota Alphard with driver: hotel pickup in Tokyo, then Arakurayama Sengen Park / Mount Fuji fifth station, Kawaguchiko Cherry Blossom Festival and Lake Yamanaka Shiratorihama. About 10 hours on this route, priced per car for up to 6 guests. You enter your hotel (or a station) and the pickup time in the booking form. The car price does not include a guide, entry tickets, rides, experiences, meals, tolls or parking. Arakura Mountain Asama Park (October 1–April 25: This stop replaces Mount Fuji's 5th Station) Recognized globally as one of the "21 Places Around the World Photographers Must Visit Before They Die," this increasingly sought-after location delivers sweeping views of Mount Fuji from an ideal vantage point. A 397-step ascent near the main hall leads to the five-story Chureito Pagoda, where you can frame Mount Fuji, the pagoda, and the valley settlement in a single photograph. Mount Fuji 5th Station (April 26–September 30: This stop replaces Arakura Mountain Asama Park) Positioned at 2,305 meters elevation on Mount Fuji's middle slope, the 5th Station provides a singular perspective of Japan's highest mountain. Mount Fuji displays contrasting beauty whether viewed from distance or proximity. At the most accessible point before the summit, you witness the peak's imposing presence and overwhelming scale. Kawaguchiko Oishi Park (approximately 50 minutes; non-seasonal visits; other attractions excluded) Summer brings lavender blooms across Oishi Park's lakeshore grounds, spreading purple hues that harmonize with Mount Fuji's backdrop. Autumn transforms the kochia plants into brilliant scarlet displays with distinctive bushy silhouettes. The Kawaguchiko Herb Festival takes place here annually. (Lavender blooms: June–July; begonias and cosmos: July–September; kochia peak: October) Kawaguchiko Cherry Blossom Festival (March 28–April 12, 2026; approximately 50 minutes; Oishi Park excluded) Along Lake Kawaguchi's northern bank near Kawaguchiko Circular Hall, this festival showcases a renowned photography spot combining Mount Fuji, lake waters, and pink blossoms in one composition. Fuji Shibazakura Festival at Lake Motosuko (April 13–May 22, 2026; approximately 50 minutes) The Greater Tokyo Area's premier moss phlox event features roughly 800,000 shibazakura flowers carpeting the plains beneath Mount Fuji—a "rainbow on the ground" lasting over a month. Kawaguchiko Maple Corridor (November 1–30, 2026; approximately 50 minutes; Oishi Park excluded) The dramatic pairing of snow-frosted Mount Fuji against scarlet maple foliage creates an unmissable autumn display at the lakeshore.
