• Shiraito Falls - The guide will describe how the snowmelt from Mt. Fuji filters through volcanic rock, emerging as thousands of delicate “white threads,” creating a wide curtain of water and a refreshing misty microclimate. Discover the significance of this area in historic Fuji-kō pilgrimages and ascetic training. Take your time to capture photos of Mt. Fuji and the falls. The paths are paved with steps; the pace is easy and can be adjusted for comfort.
• Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine - Located at the heart of Mt. Fuji’s foothills, Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha offers a serene path beneath vermilion gates and cedars leading to Wakutama-ike, a spring nourished by Fuji’s aquifer. The guide will explain how people express gratitude for water and safety, and how simple gestures—light bows, soft voices—transform a visit into a meaningful experience. Face the peak, listen to the flowing water, and set a positive tone for the day.

If interested, special prayers can be arranged for warding off misfortune, safety at sea, good health, and good fortune. Participation takes an additional 30 minutes (depending on crowd conditions) and costs approximately 5,000 to 6,000 yen per person.

• Omiya Yokocho - Fujinomiya Yakisoba (Lunch Stop)
  This is more than just a quick meal; it’s a glimpse into daily life. In Fujinomiya, steamed chewy noodles are cooked on a sizzling griddle with crispy pork cracklings, cabbage, and a sprinkle of dried fish powder—the postwar hometown style that remains a staple at festivals and family lunches. A stop will be made at a trusted neighborhood shop where the conversation is local and the dishes are shareable; learn why noodle makers have shaped the city’s flavor, how toppings reflect the season, and how to order like a local.
• Fuji Takasago Sake Brewery - Proceed to Takasago Shuzo (Sake brewery) in Fujinomiya, where the same snowmelt from Mt. Fuji is transformed into sake. Sample a variety of sake here. Discover how water softness, rice polishing, and climate influence flavor, and how to enjoy it with the right temperature and aroma.
• Kobayashien - Japanese Garden Tea Experience (Afternoon Only)
  Relish authentic Shizuoka green tea nurtured by Mt. Fuji’s purest spring water.
  At a traditional tea shop’s café set within a classic Japanese house overlooking a stunning Japanese garden. Begin with a brief introduction to the architecture and garden aesthetics, then the tea staff will prepare your choice (Matcha, Matcha latte, green tea) at the perfect temperature and infusion. Experience the aroma, umami, and gentle bitterness, paired with a small house-made sweet. The atmosphere is kept unhurried and quiet; photos are welcome with consideration for other guests.
• Optional tea ceremony (advance arrangement):
  With at least three weeks’ notice, a private tearoom can be reserved and a tea instructor invited for a guided tea experience, covering the meaning of the utensils and the essentials of etiquette before sharing a bowl of matcha together. Additional costs apply—please inquire for details.
• フジヤマハンターズビール 浅間大社タップルーム (Fujiyama Hunter’s Beer Tap Room) - 【Local Beer Trial】
  Sample local small-batch beers brewed with Mt. Fuji spring water and organically grown local grains (wheat, hops, rice). About six to seven rotating taps feature unique profiles—think hints of honey, rice, or hinoki cypress—with tasting flights available. Non-alcoholic options are also crafted in-house, including plum soda and ginger ale.

【Calligraphy Mini-Workshop (at the tap room)】
A 30-minute interactive session with a local calligraphy artist. Learn to write your name or a favorite word in Japanese characters on a round paper fan (uchiwa) to take home; the artist can add a demonstration piece on the reverse. Enjoy the relaxed setting while others sample local brews (non-alcoholic options available). Note: advance request required; scheduling depends on artist availability—please inquire.

• Lake Tanuki - If Mt. Fuji is visible, a visit to Lake Tanuki will be arranged, where Mt. Fuji reflects on its calm waters, creating a perfect mirror image known as the stunning “Double Fuji,” if you’re fortunate.
