Mt. Fuji & Suntory Hakushu Distillery Day Tour

Mount Fuji & Suntory Whisky Distillery Tour from Shinjuku

After gathering in front of the Shinjuku LOVE Objet, head to spots with excellent views of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding attractions of Lake Kawaguchi, taking in the magnificent scenery. While traveling independently would require transfers on multiple modes of transportation, a bus tour allows for a hassle-free journey. This itinerary reduces travel stress and allows you to squeeze in only the most important stops in one day, making it a perfect way to elevate your Tokyo experience.
Follow the Fuji Subaru Line to Mount Fuji's 5th Station (approximately 2,300 meters above sea level). Marvel at the breathtaking scenery from the highest road-accessible observation point, then stop by the Kawaguchiko photo spot to revel in the beauty of nature. The rich aroma of whiskey and the crisp air of Mount Fuji combine to create a truly special day.

Suntory Hakushu Distillery

The highlight of this tour is the Suntory Hakushu Distillery. With exhibits and models offering a close-up look at how whisky is made in this pristine natural setting, it's a must-see for whisky lovers.
The tasting lounge, in particular, allows you to personally sample three of your choice from approximately 25 Suntory whiskies. You'll find the Hakushu brand as well as limited editions, making it a fun way to mix and match to suit your tastes. Tastings are paid for on-site, and you can savor each whisky individually, each one aptly named, from a lineup that's already captivating. The names alone, like the Hakushu 12 Year Old and Yamazaki, are enough to make you want to savor them.
The gift shop also offers the opportunity to purchase up to one bottle of Hakushu Distillery's limited-edition whiskey per person. Inventory is subject to change depending on the day's availability, but if your timing is right, you can snag a bottle as the perfect souvenir from your trip.

The Best View Course for Mount Fuji from Oishi Park and Lake Kawaguchi

This tour captures Mount Fuji from two perspectives. At the 5th Station, you'll experience its majesty up close, and at Oishi Park, you'll capture panoramic views of Mount Fuji across Lake Kawaguchiko.
The lakeside promenade is a great place for a leisurely stroll and photo opportunities, and the seasonal flowers complement the beautiful backdrop of Mount Fuji. There's also a souvenir shop and snacks, making it a great place to take a quick break.

Fuji Shibazakura Festival, limited to April and May

From mid-April to late May, visit the Fuji Shibazakura Festival at Motosuko Resort, a springtime event. Famous for its spectacular display of pink Shibazakura blossoms across the vast expanse, you can truly experience the colors and scale that spring offers.
On a clear day, the vivid pink of the shibazakura and Mount Fuji are captured in a single frame, making a photo a trip highlight. If you want to make your spring trip to Tokyo even more special, we recommend this limited-time course.
