• Miho Seacoast (Miho no Matsubara Beach) - This black-sand beach is bordered by ancient pines and offers iconic views of Mt. Fuji across Suruga Bay. Discover how this coastline has inspired centuries of Fuji-themed art and poetry while enjoying a leisurely walk along the scenic sea-to-mountain landscape.
• Yamamiyasengen Shrine - Step into a tranquil cedar grove where Mt. Fuji is revered in the open air. From the prayer hall, the view aligns with Fuji’s peak on clear days. Guides explain how the landscape and simple etiquette (quiet voices, staying on paths) shape local devotion. Photos are permitted in designated areas; comfortable footwear is advised.
• Shiraito Falls - Witness how Fuji’s snowmelt filters through volcanic rock to create thousands of delicate water “threads,” forming a refreshing misty curtain. Enjoy a relaxed walk to the best viewpoints and receive tips on respectful behavior at nature sites. The seasonal colors make this a perfect spot for photos and a brief rest.
• Omiya Yokocho - Sample Fujinomiya-style yakisoba—chewy noodles cooked on a hot griddle with crispy pork bits and a sprinkle of dried fish powder. It’s a beloved local comfort food; visit a trusted neighborhood eatery, learn to order like a local, and see how toppings vary with the seasons.
• Fuji Takasago Sake Brewery - Explore a historic brewery over two centuries old, where the same Fuji snowmelt is used to make sake. Taste various styles while learning how water softness, rice polishing, and climate affect flavor—and how to appreciate sake by temperature and aroma.
• Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine - At the city’s main shrine, walk under red gates and along shaded paths to a spring fed by Fuji’s aquifer. Guides explain everyday customs—light bows, quiet voices, keeping paths clear—and how people express gratitude for water and safety. Optional special prayers for health, prosperity, or protection from evil can be arranged inside the shrine (extra time & cost; details vary by day, cost described in what’s not included section).
• Kobayashien - Enjoy authentic Shizuoka green tea made with Fuji’s pure spring water in a traditional teahouse overlooking a Japanese garden. Staff prepare your choice (matcha, matcha latte, green tea) at the perfect temperature; pair it with a small house sweet as basic tea etiquette and garden design are introduced. Optional: with at least three weeks’ notice, a private tearoom can be reserved, and a tea instructor invited for a guided tea experience (additional costs; please inquire).
• 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—such as 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. Order at the counter.

【Calligraphy Mini-Workshop (at the tap room)】
Participate in a 30-minute hands-on 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.

• 呉服・洋装の大丸 - Experience wearing a properly fitted kimono and take a gentle stroll at Sengen Shrine—an ideal setting for photos with Mt. Fuji when visible. Staff dress you in the correct style and share simple etiquette (how to walk, pose, and care for the obi) so you can enjoy the experience comfortably. The kimono has over a millennium of history and is now reserved for occasions like ceremonies and festivals; this hands-on try-on lets you join the tradition with respect. Note: advance reservation recommended; rental/dressing fees are separate, and extra time for dressing before the shrine visit is advised.
