Meet your guide at Tokyo Station at 12:00, then take a bullet train to Mishima. Upon arrival, transfer to a private vehicle and head to Lake Kawaguchi. En route, stop at Lake Yamanaka and Oshino Hakkai, which is famous for its crystal-clear ponds fed by underground spring water from Mt. Fuji.

Spend a full day exploring the Fuji Five Lakes by private vehicle with a dedicated guide. Escape the crowds of Lake Kawaguchi and venture out to the quieter shores of Lake Sai, Lake Motosu, and Lake Shoji, each offering unique views of Mt. Fuji’s majestic form. As we move away from Kawaguchi, the number of tourists drops dramatically, allowing for a more relaxed and intimate sightseeing experience.

On clear days, we’ll enjoy a scenic hike (approximately two hours) with panoramic views of Mt. Fuji. The journey also includes a visit to Narusawa Ice Cave, a natural lava cave nestled in the Aokigahara Forest at the northern base of Mt. Fuji.

We will drive to Kofu station and take an express train to Shiojiri. On arrival, walk to your hotel to leave your luggage. Afterwards, we will visit Narai post town by local train, one of the historic post towns along the Kiso valley. Stroll through streets that still retain the atmosphere of Japan’s Edo period and enjoy the charming townscape of Narai-juku. Afterwards, return to Shiojiri for hotel check-in. Dinner is not included on this day, so please enjoy your evening meal by yourself.

We will take a local train to Narai post town, then, begin our hike to Yabuhara via the Torii Pass—one of the highest points along the old Nakasendō route (approximately a 3-hour hike). From Yabuhara, we'll take a local train to Kisofukushima, where we'll spend the night in a charming Japanese-style ryokan featuring its own natural hot spring.

Hike the Tsumago–Magome Trail over Magome Pass. The trail is relatively gentle and well-maintained. This section of the historic Nakasendō lies between the post towns of Tsumago and Magome, stretches approximately 8 kilometers, and takes about three hours to walk at a leisurely pace. In the afternoon, we will visit the old post town of Magome, known for its historic atmosphere and charming streets lined with shops selling local crafts, souvenirs, and regional delicacies.
