Overview

Mt. Fuji is known as Japan's highest mountain but the lower area is also home to a stunning forest below. Our day starts as a hour and a half hike up a gentle slope bringing us to a quiet and gladed area for lunch. Enjoy our locally sourced bento and dip into the Japanese art of forest bathing. The activities are fun and relaxed and are more about enjoying the forest and noticing our surroundings. After our lunch return to the car via a different route. While relatively flat the walk takes us to different areas of the mountain and shows us other areas. The trip includes a private vehicle, lunch and an Onsen at the end of the day.
