From Tokyo we travel by bus for the first part of our journey to the oft pictured and perfectly shaped volcano, Mt Fuji. Once we reach the Fuji Visitor Centre, here you can learn about the volcano through displays and films, and gain views of the volcano up close from the 2nd floor observatory. Next it’s time to travel through the clouds 7,546 ft above sea level to Mt Fuji 5th Station – nicknamed the border between heaven and earth – located halfway up the mountain.
Enjoy a Japanese-style lunch before embarking on ninety minute World Heritage Site nature walk with your guide. Stroll through the Kawaguchi Asama Shrine, a type of Shinto Shrine, where you’ll encounter the seven holy cedar trees said to be 1,200 years old. Hop back on the bus to Tokyo where the tour ends at Shinjuku Express Bus Terminal.
