Join us for a special event at the base of Mount Fuji! Experience the breathtaking scenery of Japan's most iconic mountain while connecting with friends, family, and fellow adventurers in a day designed for wonder, learning, and joy. The morning begins with a warm welcome and steaming cups of hojicha featuring local yuzu honey. Settle into the stunning panorama—Fuji’s snow-capped peak mirrored in Lake Kawaguchi—as you prepare for a day of immersive activities. Start with an optional sunrise yoga session on tatami mats overlooking the mountain, followed by a guided nature walk through ancient cedar forests where expert naturalists share insights into volcanic geology, rare alpine flora, and the spiritual significance of Fuji in Japanese culture.
After the walk, dive into hands-on workshops: master the art of shodo (calligraphy) with ink and fude brush, fold intricate origami cranes, or join a cooking class crafting onigiri and miso soup using foraged mountain herbs. For thrill-seekers, mountain biking and canoeing await on crystal-clear waters. As the sun dips, gather around a crackling bonfire for storytelling, live shamisen music, and marshmallow roasting over glowing embers. A rotating menu of Japanese and international cuisine—featuring wagyu skewers, vegan ramen, and matcha tiramisu—ensures everyone leaves satisfied.
Whether you're seeking relaxation, adventure, or cultural immersion, this Mount Fuji event offers something for everyone. Our dedicated coordinators ensure every moment is safe, joyful, and unforgettable. Space is limited—reserve your spot today and create memories that will stand as tall as the mountain itself.
