Recommended for Beginners! Ryugadake Hiking Tour to Enjoy the Spectacular Views of Mount Fuji

Grading: 

We are hosting a hiking tour to Ryugadake in Yamanashi Prefecture, where you can enjoy a close-up view of Mount Fuji! The hiking distance is approximately 6 km, and the elevation is 1485 meters, so there is no concern about altitude sickness. The summit offers not only a spectacular view of Mount Fuji but also a panoramic vista of the clear blue Lake Motosu below, along with views of the Yatsugatake and Southern Alps mountain ranges. The charm of the Kansai Hikers Bus Tour goes beyond just hiking! On the first day, we will visit the Shibazakura Festival at Fuji Motosuko Resort, where about 500,000 shibazakura flowers bloom across a vast area at the foot of Mount Fuji. The breathtaking scene of the colorful flowers with the snow-capped Mount Fuji in the background is simply stunning. On the second day, after the hike, we will visit the famous "Shiraito Falls," a World Heritage-listed waterfall. This beautiful waterfall, 150 meters wide, cascades down in countless thin streams, resembling silk threads. The surrounding area is full of restaurants and souvenir shops. Don't miss the chance to try the local specialty, Fujinomiya yakisoba. Accommodation will be at Motosu Lake Sports Center, a training facility located by the lake, offering the perfect location with easy access to the trailhead. Dinner will be served buffet-style, and the facility also has a bath with towels, shampoo, and dryers. The rooms are equipped with bunk beds for men and women. Breakfast will be packed lunch, which you can eat before departure or at a scenic viewpoint along the way. Participation Fee: ¥35,000 (Early bird price of ¥33,000 if booked by February 28) Included in the Fee: Transportation, accommodation with two meals, sightseeing entrance fees, guide fees, insurance Not Included: Lunch costs
