Enjoy a delicious lunch at Houtou Foudou, famous for its hearty noodle soup.
Next, embark on a scenic Lake Ashi Pirate Cruise to witness the picturesque surroundings and the iconic Hakone Shrine’s torii gate at the water’s edge. You can also take a Ropeway Cable Car to Owakudani Volcanic area, known for its hot springs, sulfur vents, and scenic views of Mount Fuji.
The tour’s duration ranges from 8 to 10 hours, depending on traffic and your preferred pace. This itinerary is fully customizable to suit your needs, ensuring you have a comfortable and memorable exploration of the Fuji region.
Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway Ride
For travelers who want the view without the trek, the Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway (formerly known as Kachi Kachi Ropeway) is a game changer. It takes you up Mt. Tenjo, a smaller mountain near Lake Kawaguchi, with sweeping views of Mt. Fuji from observation decks at the top.
Once you reach the summit, you’re treated to an epic view — Mt. Fuji front and center, the lake below, and the sky stretching forever. Add in a few cute tanuki (raccoon dog) statues from Japanese folklore, and it becomes a fun, family-friendly experience.
For couples, it’s romantic. For families, it’s exciting. And for solo travelers, it’s peaceful. The ropeway ride is short, affordable, and extremely rewarding — often ranked among the best ways to experience Mt. Fuji without climbing it.
Mt. Fuji Viewing from Lake Kawaguchi
Lake Kawaguchi is one of the most iconic spots to view Mt. Fuji — and for good reason. On a clear day, the lake reflects the mountain like a mirror, creating a picture-perfect scene that travelers from around the world chase year-round.
Unlike climbing Mt. Fuji, which is seasonal and physically demanding, viewing it from Lake Kawaguchi is relaxing, accessible, and family-friendly — making it a favorite among international tourists. You can rent a boat, sip coffee by the lakeside, or simply sit and let the silence of nature soak in.
In spring, the lake is surrounded by cherry blossoms. In autumn, fiery red leaves. And in winter, snow-covered Fuji looks absolutely magical. For many, this is the highlight of their entire Japan trip — a rare, peaceful encounter with one of nature’s great masterpieces.
