Select participants and date
The day begins under a ripple of neon at Shibuya Crossing: a river of commuters parts and reforms as a guide checks names and the van hums to life. From Tokyo's glass towers the route peels westward, trading skyline for the low, folded silhouette of the Japanese Alps and the suddenly dominant cone of Mount Fuji rising to 3,776 meters.

Adventure Tips
Pack a compact daypack
Keep essentials (water, camera, layers, cash) handy for temple walks and sudden weather shifts—many sites have limited storage.
Carry cash for rural stops
Small shrines, onsen and countryside vendors may not take cards; carry 10–20,000 JPY in mixed bills and coins.
Time Mount Fuji viewpoints
For crisp views and reflections at Lake Kawaguchi or Chureito Pagoda, aim for sunrise or late afternoon to avoid haze and crowds.
Respect bathing etiquette
In onsen, wash thoroughly before entering and avoid swimsuits—follow posted rules and keep tattoos covered if required.
