Your Private 4-Hour Tour

Not sure where to start? Here are four sample itineraries to give you some ideas.

Sample Itineraries

Sample Itinerary 2: Central Shizuoka & Nihondaira

Visit Sumpu Castle Park, Shizuoka Sengen Shrine, and central Shizuoka, then head to Nihondaira Yume Terrace for panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Sample Itinerary 3: Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha & Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre

Visit Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha and the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre, Shizuoka. Even on days when Mt. Fuji is hidden by clouds, you can still enjoy its beauty through the centre’s immersive exhibits and learn more about its natural and cultural significance.

Visit Lake Tanuki and Shiraito Falls and enjoy the natural scenery around the Mt. Fuji area. While taking in the beautiful surroundings, enjoy a soft-serve ice cream made with milk from cows raised on the pure spring water of Mt. Fuji.

These are just sample itineraries. You are welcome to customize your tour based on what you’d most like to see and do.

Please keep in mind that the number of stops may vary depending on traffic, opening hours, crowd conditions, and the time spent at each location.

An Authentic Mt. Fuji Glass to Take Home

Each group will receive an authentic Mt. Fuji Glass by Tajima Glass—an award-winning piece of Japanese craftsmanship, handcrafted in Japan by skilled artisans using traditional Edo glassmaking techniques. Valued at approximately USD 35, it’s a distinctive keepsake from your time in Shizuoka. Pour in your favorite drink and watch Mt. Fuji appear through the base of the glass.
