Seasonal Highlights (All-Season Tour)

SPRING 🌸

Cherry Blossoms & Fresh Greenery

Soft light, blooming sakura and refreshing new leaves.
Mt. Fuji appears slightly less often than in winter, but spring colors are beautiful and perfect for photography.

SUMMER🌴

Mt. Fuji is visible only 20% of daytime.

This is the season for water & forest activities.
From July to August, warm air creates clouds and visibility drops below 20%.
Summer is best enjoyed through:

・Shower Climbing

・E-Bike tours with river cool-down spots
Forests and streams stay naturally cool.

AUTUMN🍁

Colorful Leaves & Japan’s Tastiest Season

Mountains turn vivid red, orange and yellow.
Autumn is also known as shokuyoku no aki — “the season of appetite,”
when many foods reach their peak flavor.

A beautifully balanced season for nature and culture.

WINTER❄️

The Clearest Views of Mt. Fuji All Year

Dry air and stable weather make winter the most reliable season for seeing Mt. Fuji clearly.
The snow-capped peak appears crisp and beautiful,
and the Shizuoka side stays quieter than Yamanashi.

Forests and caves are sheltered from wind,
making winter surprisingly comfortable.
