Group Tour to Mount Fuji and Oshino Hakkai Route

I’ve visited Mount Fuji twice before, but this time I finally got to see its full view. The sun was blazing that day, and it was already hot in the morning. I was thrilled to see the panoramic view of Mount Fuji at the first stop. Next, we headed to Oishi Park by Lake Kawaguchi, which features different flowers planted throughout the year. It’s a great spot for photography. For lunch, we went to Oshino Hakkai, where there were food stalls selling snacks as well as restaurants where you could sit down and order meals. We strolled around while enjoying fish cakes, tofu pudding, cola, and soft-serve ice cream. Afterward, we visited Arakurayama Sengen Park, climbing up the seemingly endless stairs. We reached the five-story pagoda halfway up the mountain and continued to the summit. The plan was to enjoy a distant view of Mount Fuji, but unfortunately, the afternoon clouds had already covered the peak. Finally, we stopped by a popular photo spot before hopping on the bus for the return trip. By around 5 PM, we were back at Tokyo Station, wrapping up this satisfying journey.
